It depends on which GI plan you look at - on those fad GI diets, they will tell you to eat white spaghetti instead of potatoes, just coz the GI is a lot lower. They disregard the nutritional properties of potatoes, and the fact that white spaghetti has no nutritional value as such. In a good GI plan, they do encourage the consumption of whole grains, instead of refined grains. Another example is rice. A good GI plan will tell you to have brown rice, but a fad one will tell you to have white basmati rice. It can get a little confusing!Roxy
