Weetabix

Thankyou I am now very disapointed with weetabix -- as I was 100% sure that it was low GI - with added banana or hand full of raspberrys out of the garden while they lasted very much enjoyed!

Is NOT slow release, it is to do with the way the fibre has been treated before it arrives at your bowl. I think its crappy how Weetabix and other companies can get away with portraying such things as 'Slow Release' when infact, in the case of many cereals, it is infact the yoghurt or milk products that bring the GI down...

The reason for the spike, is the relative high Glycemic Load cause by such cereals, as they are obviously rich in total carb content for even a small portion, combined with a fast release of carbs into the blood...

It is very important you test yourself if in doubt...
