Low Gi…a Diet For Life
|
You did again…you ate that chocolate bar and felt fantastic for about 1 minute. However, you not only feel the guilt an hour later, you also feel tired, run down, and looking for another hit.
The GI diet is all about eating food that gives you energy and keeps your blood sugar levels balanced throughout the day.
The Glycaemic Index (Gi) is a way to rate carbohydrate foods to indicate how quickly they're broken down and the impact they have on our blood sugar levels.
Glucose and white bread are used as the standard and they both have a Gi of 100. All other foods are then measured against these two.
• Low Gi foods have a value of 55 or less
• Medium Gi have values of 56 to 69
• High Gi have a value of 70 or more
High Gi foods cause a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, followed by an equally rapid drop as insulin does its job. This means sugar rushes and energy dips followed by more cravings.
Low Gi foods are broken down slowly so there are no roller-coaster energy levels. They are filling, satisfying and healthy.
The result of eating a low GI diet is increase energy levels and healthy weight loss.
