south beach diet guide index
Books about the Glycemic Index?

I was recently diagnosed as a non-insulin dependent diabetic with mild hypertension, due to being overwieght. In addition to taking Metformin and excercising 1 hour a day, my doctor said that I should follow a low GI diet.

I’ve been keeping up on the meds and the excercise, but I’ve been having trouble with the diet. I don’y really know what I can or can’t eat. I know to avoid potatoes, white bread, and sweets, but not much else. I’ve been trying to find a reference guide that helps outline what I should eat, or should eat sparingly, etc. I’m also looking for a cookbook that has GI based receipies. Most of the GI based cookbooks seem to be south-beach books, and have too many fruit products.

The other thing is that I need the books (especially the cookbook) to have are complete nutritional information since I have to watch my sodium intake.

Thanks a bunch!
