Well I'm severely limiting anything with a very high GI (or at least that's the idea) and I'm having moderate amount of medium GI foods and as much as I want to low GI foods.
Fruit is medium Gi I think...anyway, I'm restricted to one piece or 100g berries every four hours.
Fat and IF lower the GI of medium-high GI foods. SO if I have potatoes, pasta or rice, I have a small portion of that and then lots of veggies and safe protein with it. As I'm not very sensitive to fats and can stand occasional dairy I have used those as buffers - I was out at a fayre on Sunday and the only food I could eat was jacket potato, so I had some of the potato and all the cheese...did okay.
Oh and I'm allowed 3 pieces of bread or tortillas a day and a max of 2 at one time. That was from Fibromyalgia:The First Year and it seems to work...it really helps being able to have a little of the high GI SF foods.
Oh and someone on another board suggested this tip for really cheating - eat nothing for a few hours before or after the cheat and be prepared to have a nap if neccesary after eating it! Works great for those days when you've just GOT to have chocolate ice cream or something! I'm def going to use this for desserts over Christmas.
It's working great altogther! My energy levels are up, my cravings are alot less (and are restricted to chocolate anyway! ) and I've lost 2 pounds since I started on the diet...with no conscious calorie restriction (less cravings has got to be helping that tho)!
