I tried a few years ago to make a change to in my diet and took up a low GI diet.

I bought two books, one a low GI recipe book and other was a recipe book with a four week day by day diet plan to be used as a transition tool.

I found the change in diet worked well. It was easy to make the change a permanent part of my life. I liked the food. I felt much healthier, both physically and mentally. I lost weight and felt good about that.

I fell off the diet when I was seconded to one of the sites my (former) employer owned in England for a few months and was living in a hotel during the week and having lunches provided at site. I got out of the good food habits I’d gotten into. As my son gets a little older and catering for him becomes less complex I look forward to returning to a low GI diet.

What I think worked for me was the slow release of blood sugar so I didn’t feel hungry along with the fact that that I enjoyed the food and was also required to think a little about what and how much I was eating. The 4 week introductory regime was a real help in making the transition and making a change in diet a habit.
