Summary

The glycemic-index diet, or “GI diet”, has been sweeping Britain for the past few months, and has arrived in the United States on the back of some high-profile figures, including actress Kim Cattrell and, reportedly, former president Bill Clinton. Unlike the Atkins diet, which bans virtually all carbohydrates, the glycemic-index diet says there are some “good” carbs out there, and including good fruits and vegetables.
