The low GI diet is just as easy for a vegetarian to follow - in fact, teaching vegetarians to follow the low GI diet can be easier because most are eating many of the best low GI foods already. For the vegetarian, the same principles apply: substitute your plant protein sources for the meat. Eat more beans, lentils and other legumes - all among the lowest GI foods we have tested. Quorn is also a great meat substitute with no GI as it has almost no carbohydrate (2 g/100 g).

There are two answers to most questions. The first is that alcohol is probably not good for us, so if you don't drink, don't start: no matter what the supposed benefit. The second answer is wine is a fruit. This is the rice and fruit diet. Therefore, wine is permissible. (Most other alcoholic beverages are made from grains: the grains and fruit diet.) Unfortunately, alcohol has more calories than fruit: about 100 for three ounces and 80-100 per ounce for liquors.

Pasta has a low GI because of the physical entrapment of ungelatinised starch granules in a sponge-like network of protein (gluten) molecules in the pasta dough. Pasta is unique in this regard. As a result, pastas of any shape and size have a fairly low GI (30 to 60). Asian noodles such as hokkein, udon and rice vermicelli also have low to intermediate GI values. Definitely not, because, unlike potatoes and cereal products, these vegetables are very low in carbohydrate.
