The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss program is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list of types of food and an indicator of the speed with which the energy in the food type gets converted to glucose in the dieters body. The believe is that slow release types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you feeling full longer and help to eat fewer food without starving yourself.
It's also extremely effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in managing increases in blood glucose secretion.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 c All-purpose flour

1/4 ts Salt

1/8 ts Baking soda

6 tb (3/4 stick) butter or

Margarine, softened 2 tb Honey

2 tb Warm water

2/3 c (1 large) mashed banana

"These flavorful crackers are an obvious choice for a breakfast snack. A wonderful fruit cobbler crust can be made by finely crumbling these crackers, moistening them with melted butter, and pressing them into a baking dish. 350~F. 15 to 20 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F. Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl or in the food processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the banana and blend well. In a separate bowl, dissolve the honey in the warm water. Slowly add the sweetened water to the flour-banana mixture and blend to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll thin, at most 1/8 inch. With a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut into 2- to 2-1/2-inch circles. Arrange the circles on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning over once during baking. These crackers should be medium brown. Cool on a rack. Yield: 60-70. VARIATION: Substitute 1-1/2 cups rice flour for an equal amount of the all-purpose flour.
