[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend who is a diabetic specialist focuses on glycemic index not carbs. I think it’s the glycemic index that’s really a killer for weight because of the way the body processes that food—it’s an easy measure of simple carbs. Chickpeas are low Gi[/quote] Yep, this is the key. It’s more than just the carb number, it’s also fiber and fat and form of carb. Six grams of carbs from ice cream is not the same as six carbs from vegetables. Chickpeas are high fiber, low fat, nutrient rich. Don’t get hung up on the carbs. Chickpeas are 0 points on WW. Even if you don’t like WW, it is research based and locally tested, so it should tell you something. [/quote]
