Then would you suggest that eating the higher GI foods you mentioned
to eat with food that it would be wise to eat them with a food
source
high in protein....since protein will slow the insulin spike?
Absolutely, except for the fruit; many people say it's best to eat
fruit by itself (acid fruit may be eaten w/nuts). Best to eat
low-glycemic fruit along w/the high-glycemic. Low-glycemic fruit
include:
strawberries (organic), apple/pear (fresh or dried), cherries,
blackberries, raspberries, plums, prunes, peach/nectarine, dried
apricot, grapefruit.

Does it help to limit Hi Glycemic foods also.
Yes.
I know not sugar but
how about watermelon, potatoes, etc with a High Glycemic index?
Because of their high-glycemic index and other problems, I would
totally AVOID
parsnips, white/red potato (in particular), nonsprouted wheat,
couscous, and corn(meal).
Because of their high-glycemic index, I wouldn't eat LARGE amounts
of
the
following foods on an empty stomach: dates, pumpkin, rutabaga,
watermelon,
millet, pineapple, cantaloupe, rice, muesli, canned apricots,
mango
(Both the
above lists of foods are listed in order of glycemic index,
starting
w/the
highest-glycemic.). However, I WOULD make it a point to eat dates
(but
NOT on empty stomach), watermelon,
millet, cantaloupe, brown rice, and apricots, due to their
cancer-healing
properties. I wouldn't worry at all about the glycemic index of
any
other
HEALTHY foods.
Are grapes (44 GI) too high?
certainly not
