Some simple rules for following a GI diet:

- never have a carb by itself. ALWAYS have it with protein. So if you have an apple, have some turkey with it.
- avoid “white” carbs: white bread, white rice, white tortillas, white pasta, white potatoes, sugar.
- no juice,that’s not a fruit, it’s the sugar from fruit concentrated. No soda.
- complex carbs only – whole wheat, multi grain, brown rice, etc.
- eat smaller meals more frequently. 3 meals plus 2 snacks per day. Don’t go more than a few hours without eating.

As always with dieting, make veggies a huge part of your day. Of course that means non-starchy veggies – no corn or potatoes unless you are counting them as your carb. Also drink a lot of water – your body needs water to metabolize (burn) fat!

Good luck and you can do this even with a medical condition, don’t let anyone else tell you that you can’t. You have to adjust to what works for you. Try cutting calories if the scale doesn’t budge. Don’t go by what the books say should work, everyone is different.

By the way, exercise is great but diet is 99 percent of weight loss. Exercise makes you healthier in general, but for weight loss diet is king. As you lose weight you will want to become more active, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself to start exercising because that can lead to discouragement.
