Thanks Katiebird! Don’t go book hunting this weekend…I heard Knights of the Magical Realm: Warriors Gone Wild, will be released the following weekend…we are starting our book-signing tour in Vegas on the 8th and 9th of December. And I meant what I said about looking into what your site is about…my best friend in school died in her thirties. She was diagnosed at 10. Plus, if you read my site you probably saw we are dealing with cancer…

Hi Kate, thanks for the Jolt!

I like your Healthy & Fit Family Blog Carnival, thank you very much for the invitation. I haven’t read the guidelines yet, but I’d love to make a submission to the Carnival.

Hi Brit! Thank you very much for your great comment and BlogJolt!

I agree that the Glycemic Index information is technical and until I found that site, I don’t think I really understood why the GI is of any interest to people who aren’t diabetic. Or for that matter why it works the way it does.

I had to force myself to stop talking about it because I could have gone on and on. I think what I’ll do is what I did with The Hacker’s Diet and every couple of days post a (shorter) discussion on the glycemic index in a non-technical way.

[...] As I said on another blog ( http://www.eat4today.com/2006/11/17/the-definitive-source-for-glycemic-index-information/ ) eating right has always been important, but even more so this last year. However, glycemic index info is not the first thing I think of! I think I need to look into it… [...]

Eating right is an 8 out of 10 in importance to me…I literally spend 5 times more than I used to because I buy organic foods. I resist eating fast food and bought a Vita-mix for my daughter last week to help us get the necessary fruits and vegetables. I’d like to think I’m fairly well educated in what eating “right” means. However, after looking at the site you linked on your post…I see I have a lot more to learn. But that site isn’t for a busy woman with a short attention span and 3 small children all wanting attention. I found it too technical unless you already have sufficient knowledge to understand exactly what you’re looking at…
