Diet/recipe Help Please

noonesperfect

I tried the GI diet a few years ago as I remember the book advises you to:-

Eat small or new potatoes not large starchier ones (ie jacket spuds)

Basmati over other types of rice

Granary over white or wholemeal (that really "killed my pig!" as love wholemeal bread)

Eat normal fruit like apples/pears/oranges over the more exotic fruits (grapes/melon/pineapple etc) which have more natural sugar in them and therefore have a higher glycaemic load.

I avoid fruit yoghurt of any type.

Sweet potatoes --maybe its the name that puts me off, I will try them

I only like the orange fleshed sweet potatoes... sliced into wedges, drizzled with a little oil and sprinkled with chilli powder. Yuuuuuuuuummmm
