The plans here are primarily calorie controlled rather than carbohydrate controlled. The half cup of milk and 100g yoghurt add only 15g carb to the day. <br /><br />Regarding the calcium content, we suggest 2-3 dairy serves/day (p39) although I know some health professionals recommend more. The problem with using more dairy foods for protein serves in a calorie controlled diet like this is displacement of other protein foods like meat which are essential for iron and zinc.GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-66302055885548773642010-02-11T16:23:01.612+11:002010-02-11T16:23:01.612+11:00We have passed your query on to the authors to ans...We have passed your query on to the authors to answer and will post a response here in the next few days (we hope).GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-61765269026033381962010-02-08T17:59:26.019+11:002010-02-08T17:59:26.019+11:00Hi!

However we're a little puzzled about the info in one of your books, The Low GI Diet:12 Week Plan for Weight Loss (2008 edition). In the sample diet on p.48, 'Fiona' is supposed to eat 5 serves of carbs & 4 serves of protein. However, the protein includes 1/2 cup of skim milk & 1/2 tub of yoghurt. Wouldn't this increase her carb intake to over 5 serves? Also the female (and calcium-conscious, milky-coffee & dairy-dessert-addicted) members of my family are concerned that the diet suggestions seem to include far less than 3-4 serves of dairy. Hope you can clarify this for us!<br /><br />Thanks. F.M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
