Dieting 101
The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index weight loss program is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed with which the carbs in the food type gets transformed to glucose in the dieters blood stream. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those food types with a low Gi score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help you to injest less food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also very beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in preventing rises in blood sugar amount.
