What is a GI diet?

Foods with a high GI value cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. This can often leave you feeling hungry within a short time, and will often result in eating a snack. If this pattern is repeated often, you will gain weight by constantly overeating.

Diets based on low GI value encourage you to avoid eating foods with a high GI value and it helps to prevent swings in blood sugar, helping you feel fuller longer. Most GI diets recommend reducing fat and especially saturated fats.

The Glycemic Impact Diet is an excellent diet because it takes the best from other diets like South Beach Diet and the Zone Diet and combines them with easy-to-follow advice.
