GI News Podcasts

2009-01-01T09:00:00.000+11:00

Welcome to GI News Podcasts.

We regularly receive requests from people wanting to locate the various podcasts we have run in GI News over the past year or so without trekking through all the back issues. We thought the simplest solution would be to have them all in one place.

So here they all are, organised in order of publication on our new blogsite: GI News Podcasts. We'll add new podcasts as we run them in GI News.

Happy listening.

The lowdown on low GI eating

2008-08-01T09:02:00.001+10:00

Prof Jennie Brand-Miller talks to GI News with the release of the fourth edition of her book, The Low GI Handbook (previously published as The New Glucose Revolution). We asked her to describe what she feels is the key to a low GI diet.

Jennie Brand-Miller

‘I find that it’s the word “low” that seems to throw people. Eating the low GI way is not putting yourself on a low carb diet. If anything, it’s a “slow” carb diet. It’s about choosing the right carbs to fuel your body and power your life.

I like to use the analogy of a car – if you don't put gas in your car, it won't go. And, if you put the wrong gas in your car, it won't perform at its best and it may even break down. It’s the same with your body – carbohydrate is your fuel – it’s what makes you go because it gives you energy.
