Does being overweight or food combinations affect the spike? Thanks! www

Most of the foods we recommend do not have a high glycemic index: whole grains, whole fruits, vegetables, and legumes. There are a few exceptions such as white baking potatoes and cold cereals. But for the most part, I wouldn't get too hung up on the GI of whole foods. This page goes into more detail: http://www.nutritionmd.org/nutrition_tips/nutrition_tips_understand_foods/gi.html.
