Yams and brown rice are also a staple of mine, I'd even say a very good whole (stone) ground wheat bread is solid too..................I am finding out more and more that the G.I. index is basically bunk...........#1, if you eat a balanced meal of p,c,and fat, any insulin spike is severely reduced. Also, if you use ALA, that works to minimize the effect as well............I stay away from the high end GI foods, except PW, other than that, it's fair game............
