I was looking to see if I can get some advice from anyone who have tried various nutritional programs. I am sure most weightloss/nutritional programs work. But I guess it is finding the right one. My girlfriend had quite of her coworkers recommend a Glycemic Index (GI) program. Can anyone give me any insight on this program?

I have been searching the internet trying to find some generic programs and various recommended recipes, etc. But I am not having much luck.

So if anyone has any info, please let me know!

tg it would all depend on what you are wanting to do. Any diet is a commitment to changeing your life. Can you tell us what you are wanting to do? Loose weight? Gain muscle?

anyone would teach dumb people how to reproduce?

Myself, I am looking at maintaing my weight and maybe building a little more muscle, I do lift weights and do cardio (3-4 times a week). My girlfriend is not as active and would like to lose weight.

tg, to gain muscle you'll need to increase your calories.

Even if you do gain a little weight by adding muscle, muscle takes up less space than fat and you can look slimmer by adding muscle.

If my dang picture would update you could see what I was talking about.

I started at 176lbs, then (before finding this site) dropped to 161lbs by eating better and doing aerobics with the wife.

Then I decided to add muscle. I am back up to 174lbs. But, here's the good part. I still get asked how much weight I've lost after being at 161lbs.

So, weight isn't quiet as important as fat to muscle percentages!!!
