Thirty Days To A Slimmer You

Taking the Glycemic Index (GI) of feeds into account when you diet is a heathy way of eating, because you can include carbohydrates with a low GI in your diet, instead of excluding all carbs. The GI measures how your blood sugar levels react to foods. Foods with a high GI value lift your blood sugar level more swiftly - these are usually processed foods.

Saul Katz: Low Glycemic for Life!: Low GI - The Exorcism of "Demon Carbs" reports:

"The Glycemic Index is needed to extend the observations made by Mr. Smith regarding grains to other foods and eating occasions throughout the day, because many complex carbs can elevate blood sugar faster than simple carbs, depending on how they are prepared. The Glycemic Index is the new characterization of carbohydrates, beyond the notion of simple or complex, because it is based on an actual physiological measurement of how a particular food (individual or mixed) impacts blood sugar."

Although eating the low GI way sounds complex, it's quite easy once you know which foods are low GI.

Here's a list of low GI foods.
