GI-mat (GI food)

Swedes love fad diets. Just like the rest of the Western world, we are getting fatter by the second and loving it. Therefore, we are trying to find ways to both have and eat our cakes, thank you very much. Only I’m pretty sure GI - low glycemic indexed foods – doesn’t allow cake.

The basic theory is to swap all those fast carbs like white rice, pasta and potatoes, and substitute them with stuff that is slower. Somehow. Ah, this is not a diet book, I just know that all magazines (and even some fast food restaurants) have caught on to this trend and seem determined to keep it alive. So go ahead, try it. Who knows, maybe THIS will truly be the diet that saves us from eating our civilization to death.
