Low Carb v Low GI

    For starters Im sure there is a large overlap here eat lots of greens avoid processed carbs etc. but while im reasonably well informed on low carb in general terms I not so much on foods from a GI perspective.
    One example that came to mind is a rice substitute, the low carb approach would be to rice cauliflower whereas there are low GI grains like barley which fit the bill so while barley has a lot of carbs it doesn't cause an insulin spike. In taste terms I would certainly have a preference for a barley risotto over using cauliflower.

    So as a general question would you have different outcomes on a low carb diet versus "don't eat foods that cause an insulin spike" diet?
