Glycemic Index Diets
Information About Glycemic Index Weight
Loss Diets
Originally created for diabetics, the Glycemic
Index (GI) ranks carbohydrate foods according to the rate at which
they raise blood glucose levels (glycemic response) during and after digestion.
A food with a low GI rating (GI less than 55) is absorbed into the bloodstream
more slowly and keeps blood sugar levels constant, thus avoiding hunger.
A high glycemic index food (GI 70+) may disrupt blood sugar levels causing
appetite swings. Foods with a GI between 55 and 70 are called Intermediate
foods.
G;lycemic Index Weight Loss Diet Trials
Low glycemic index diets contain only intermediate
or low glycemic index foods. Diet trials show that these low glycemic
index diet plans cause greater satiety, less hunger pangs and better insulin
control. Because Low GI diets reduce the body's exposure to the harmful
effects of insulin, they reduce the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes,
as well as coronary heart disease.
Weight Loss Diet Advice
Fad diets or other unbalanced weight loss
plans do not lead to lasting weight loss and may contain too few calories
and inadequate nutrition. For sustained weight loss, the best diet is
usually a balanced diet with foods from all the nutritional food groups,
which offers realistic weight reduction goals and provides a manageable
eating plan. This type of diet program should be combined with a realistic
weight loss fitness plan.
