Oh, sorry, I didn't understand the organic packaged thing. That's a whole different ball of wax.
If I had a package of Organic anything (let's say chicken and broccoli for example), I'd just separate the ingredients and look each one up on the gycemic index).
That will give you a bit of an idea of what is going into your body.
So keep enjoying eating healthy. I know that when I see a plate of greens, and I add some colorful veggies to it with a splash of EVOO (as Rachel Ray says) which is Extra Virgin olive oil, well, I imagine all that good stuff, clorophyl, etc, vitamins, well I just picture it going through my body, letting my arteries flow clear and well, I guess I use imaging.
Works for me. Doesn't work for any of my friends who think I've lost my mind and they always have something negative to say.
But that's THEIR PROBLEM, isn't it??
We all have to make our own choices and try and stick to them.
I am extremely lucky that I don't get any food cravings. I have no idea why I DID have them for almost 50 years but I just don't any more.
Thank goodness for that. I believe I just got into the habit of eating sprouts, greens, protein, and whatever.
Took me years but my body finally got used to it. I think if I ate a steak and then had an ice cream sundae, I'd get violently ill.
My body, my stomach, well I don't think I could handle that stuff any more.
And burritos??? oh my god, I've never had one, I could only imagine what THAT would do to my stomach.
So you keep hunting for low glycemic foods.
You'll do fine.
take care,
