Granted, glycemic index is a useful measure. I don't recommend it, initially, only because I find most of my patients glaze over at that point. If you grok it, more power to you.
> husk of the grain takes a lot longer to digest
Well, most husks don't digest at all. That's "fiber", which is good for you for a whole different reason.
> your rules
Incompletely capture the conditions of your weight loss. How long have you kept it off? Married with kids? what are your work conditions? How do you commute? What climate do you live in?
> 30 minutes of light cardio every other day, about 2.5 hrs a week
2.5 / 0.5 = 5 days a week, but I get your point, it's that not hard, what's hard is doing it.
- illumin8 16y agoSorry I meant 3.5 hours of exercise a week, not 2.5. Married, no kids, commute 1 hour each way to work every day, work about 8 hours with occasional overtime. Live in the Northeast so cold winters, warm but brief summers. I've kept it off for 1 year now and still manage to eat out once or twice a week - you don't have to follow the rules all the time. I also like to eat a lot during holidays.
- cma 16y agoThat is a hellish commute; 30+ waking days a year spent in your car to or from work. Move closer.
- illumin8 16y agoI agree, but it's easier said than done. Living closer in a house in a non-ghetto neighborhood is going to cost me at least $600-700K or more and will probably lose value in the next few years due to deflation. Renting the same would cost me $3-4k/month. I'd rather live farther away and save the money.
- illumin8 16y agoTotally fail at math today - I meant 0.5 hours, every other day which is 1.5 or 2 hours a week depending on which week.
