Glycemic Index Article

The Glycemic Index rates foods according to how quickly they affect our our blood glucose level. By measuring the increase in blood glucose during the 2 - 3 hours after eating, the index gives us a snapshot of the affects certain foods have on our bodies. This new information suggests that complex carbohydrates such as white bread and potatoes can raise blood sugar quicker than white sugar! The best weight loss diets available today are all based to some degree on this discovery (although most do not mention it by name specifically).

The Glycemic Index Diet

The author of The G.I. Diet fought his own battle of the bulge, tried several diets before discovering the Glycemic Index or G.I. He realized he had found a magic weight loss bullet and the Glycemic Index Diet was born.

High Glycemic Index foods break down quickly and leave you hungry sooner. Low G.I. foods break down slowly and keep you feeling fuller, longer. It is these low G.I. foods that form the core of this diet.

The Glycemic Index Diet makes all the calculations for you by listing all foods in three traffic light color categories: code red foods which you should avoid if you want fast weight loss; code yellow foods are foods that are to be used sparingly; and code green foods - go for it!

The G.I. Diet will not leave you feeling deprived or hungry. It will not harm your health like some other diets, and it will actually reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and colon and prostate cancer. With pull out shopping lists, recipes, snack ideas, pantry guides, and dining out guides, the G.I. Diet is the way you should eat for the rest of your life.
