In your article "Low GI vs low-carb" you state that rice and white rice are low GI foods. I am pretty sure that this is incorrect. Even brown rice has a GI of 68, which only just gets it in the medium range.

Dear Ditch the Carbs team - I am very interested in buying your book; however, I have a question. Basically most low carb bread, pizza dough, tortilla recipes, etc. use almond flour. I like them but honestly the almond flour is so dense and heavy. I was wondering if your recipes have alternatives, less filling, less calories, etc. Thank you
Libby Jenkinson
Most of the recipes require almond flour, however, I do also have a large range of coconut flour bread recipes in there too.
