This list is much better:

The important thing is the AMOUNT of carbs X the glycemic index.
You could eat a huge amount of carrots for example with no problem. Have a half a bagel anytime you want, especially if you mix with protein or dairy at the same meal. Muesli is also ok if it doesn’t have too much fruit in it, just check the label for sugar.

Brown rice is the lowest GI rice as far as I know, high in fiber too.. although I don’t like the taste that much, it is rather healthy. I’d say: to be eaten in moderation, rather than to be avoided.

Default: Those lists are made strictly by analyzing the glycemic index of those foods. The foods that should be avoided have a higher GI than the recommended foods.

I am curious as to why “oat bran” and “brown rice” should be avoided, or is considered as an avoidable food, and also especially considering “rice” is in the list under ‘Foods that should be eaten in moderation’.

I’ve found some really good tasting recipes at http://www.lowglycemicrecipes.net They have breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. And they’re always adding new ones. They list carb amount, calories, fat, fiber content, Glycemic Index (GI), Glyco Load (GL). I haven’t seen any other sites that offer the GI and GL together in their recipes. Good site if you’re looking for new ideas and good info.
