My recommendations for considering the GI values of foods in
terms of healthy weight loss are:

• Try whenever possible to make the majority of your foods low-
  GI or very-low-GI on a day-by-day basis.


• Allow yourself healthy foods on a daily basis that are medium-
  GI. However, do not allow these medium-GI foods to become
  the majority of foods eaten within the day.


• Limit your consumption of high-GI foods. Treat these foods like
  a special accompaniment to your plan rather than the foundation.
