Many of us are not huge fans of the GI scale and feel that a combo of GI plus GL plus lifestyle is how food choices should be made.
Given that, for a cut, I suggest: Apples, Peaches, Pears, Berries, Lemons, Limes and Grapefruit. Of course that's how strict you are cutting. If you just want to lose a few pounds then don't limit yourself to a select few because in the grand scheme of things, fruit is very healthy. If you are on a really strict cut, then just eat those that I suggested.
For bulking, eat any fruit you want.

As I understand it, higher glycemic foods are more readily converted to blood sugar. Rapid increases in blood sugar can stimulate sizeable increases in insulin which, in turn, can promote storage of blood sugar as fat. Lower glycemic foods supply a more steady, longer-lasting supply of blood sugar, stimulate insulin production far less and consequently result in less fat storage (i.e. stay leaner)

I haven't had pineapple in almost a year. I thought it was a simple carb, like table sugar, and should be avoided. I'm wrong, I guess.
Franco Columbu (Bodybuilder's Nutrition Handbook) said that pineapple contained enzymes to promote/improve protein absorbtion (it also, interestingly, softened the enamel on his teeth), but I figured that was outdated info these days.
Sorry. I might be having a stupid moment, but what's GL? Originally Posted by Jodi

Hmm... Never heard of GL before. I'll look into it. Originally Posted by IainDaniel

It makes for good eatin' too!
