Glycemic Index is based on faulty science. The basic chemistry they used in determining GI is not correct. Please see-
GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

Just copy and paste into SEARCH box.

Glycemic Load is based on DIRECT measurement of the glycemic response to a known weight of test food. No calculation or estimation of GI from apparent weight of contained CARBOHYDRATE is needed. Although the GI Researchers can’t or don’t want to understand this, it is a fact.

Any diet method …
Any diet method needs to be thoroughly investigated, and books on the subject will tell you what she is telling you.
Quantity is measured by Glycemic load. Obviously, you cannot overeat and still lose weight on any plan. I am a type II diabetic, lost 50 lb by using the diet (while travelling), and decreased my Glucovance from 2000 mg/day to 750 mg/day, while my A1C went down to 5.4.
The proof is how well it works with an individual. I do not agree with how this video was presented.
