Counting Carbs?

The glycemic index has been referenced as a useful tool to help construct a diet for fat loss and for both Type I and Type II diabetics by controlling blood sugar levels and the resulting insulin response.  The glycemic load may be a more relevant evaluator for assessing blood sugar levels, and thus, controlling the resulting insulin release.  There is not a consensus on glycemic index versus glycemic load, or even an agreement among researchers of the accuracy of either index.  The glycemic load is a calculation based on the glycemic index.  This article will discuss both.
