Carianne...
The glycemic index of foods is the measure of the insulin response it causes. The GI lists don't have things like vegetables and meats on them, because their GI is negligiable. Mendoza's sight has a fairly complete GI, and there are a number of books that have it. Check your library for the books. On SugarBusters, you can do fairly well if you just avoid the no nos, and eat mostly veggies and lean proteins. Stay away from pineapple, watermelon, and bananas, and corn and potatoes, as well as the white rice, flour and all sugars. It really isn't too hard, and once you get the hang of it, it is a very easy diet to stick to.
When I buy bread, I get Natures Own Stone ground whole wheat bread. Read the labels, and if it has 100% stone ground whole wheat flour, with no enriched flour, and less than 3 grams of sugar per serving, it is ok. I make my own mostly, and use vital wheat gluten along with all whole wheat flour that I grind at a do it yourself grinder at the health food store.
The rolls at Subway are not 100% whole wheat, so they are not legal.
