    In the beginning I limited my carbs to those with a low glycemic load, but over time I transitioned more to an IIFYM (if it fits your macros) way of living. I find the results to be the same either way, but I feel less restricted now. That said, a lot (most?) of the carbs I eat, still happen to be considered low glycemic load, as it just became habit. But I didn't think twice about eating a sandwich just minutes ago on a white french roll,

    I pretty much only eat low to moderate GI foods every day. (Hubby's spaghetti is the only exception I can think of.) I have noticed that my energy levels are more consistent. Before, I would have crashes, and my blood sugar would get so low I'd be shaking and light-headed. The more I eat lower GI foods, the less hunger pains I feel. No more "my stomach is eating itself" moments.

    I've been following the low glycemic load index for about 2 months now. I haven't lost any weight (of course, I haven't lost any weight in over a year) but I feel remarkably more energetic and just generally great with less and less of the processed crap and sugars out of my system. Overall, it is a lifestyle that I can keep up long term which is what I was after. So, between watching my calories, lots of activity/exercise, and eating low glycemic load index, it's pretty great.
