Low GI Foods

My husband has decided to try a new way of eating to try to lose weight and keep it off.  We are looking at it more as a lifestyle change compared to a diet because if this works he will continue to eat this way and not do it temporarily.  He has a co-worker who has lost weight eating a low GI diet with heavy protein., and we've upped his calorie intake so it's going to be hard for him to eat an extra 800 calories a day.  I'm not going to be eating like him most of the time, but I am supporting him and helping him anyway I can.  I will make sure our dinners are to his diet and to mine (gluten free), so I have a huge challenge but I am excited for it.  Dinner tonight is Cilantro Cod, Spicy Shrimp, Grilled asparagus, and mushrooms....just thinking about those foods makes me hungry...
