    Did I hear someone say nerd? I'll post tonight, but a search through the academic article databases revealed some really interesting stuff. I've pdf'd the articles, as a quick search revealed they're not public access.

    Teaser titles:
    • A High Glycemic Meal Suppresses Postprandial Leptin Response in Healthy Adults
    • Influence of Glycemic Index on Glycemic Response, Appetite and Food Intake in Healthy Individuals
    • Diets with High or Low Protein Content and Glycemic Index for Weight-loss Maintenance.

    Personally, I don't consciously take the GI into account when choosing foods, though I am always aware of trying to create satiety in my meals and not just eat a ton of simple carbs. Sure, they're yummy, but they don't keep me full for long. Though, according tot hat one article--maybe it's all in my head. :smiley: If I think I'm full, I will be!
