Types of dietThe Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition and weightloss system is based around the gi index, a chart showing food types and an indicator of the ease that the glucose and energy in the food gets converted to glucose in the dieters body. The claim is that long-acting foods (ie with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremely efficient for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in controlling rises in blood sugar secretion. |
