The Glycemic Index (GI) relates to the way your body’s sugar levels respond to certain foods.
Low Glycemic Index eating avoids causing spikes in blood insulin levels. A low GI diet has several advantages:
-
-
-
- There is no starving involved
- Cravings (especially for sweets) are decreased dramatically
- Serum cholesterol levels normalize and weight loss is easy for most who follow it
- Proteins stay healthier longer- and this slows the aging process
- There is an increase in fat burning- especially between meals
- No calorie counting, portion control, or weighing and measuring foods are necessary- just choose your meals and snacks from the Low Glycemic Index lists
