Glycemic Index Weight Loss Diets

Originally devised for diabetics, the Glycemic Index (GI) is an index of carbohydrate foods ranked according to the rate at which blood glucose levels rise when a particular food is eaten. Glucose itself has a rating of 100, so the closer to 100 a food is, the higher its 'GI' rating and the more quickly it is absorbed.

A food with a low GI rating is absorbed more slowly and likely to keep blood sugar levels constant, which may help avoid hunger, whereas a high-GI food may disrupt blood sugar levels causing appetite swings.

Glycemic index diets such as The Glucose Revolution, written by Thomas MS Wolever, published in 1999, is that a diet containing most of its carbs as foods with a low or moderately low GI will help you lose weight by keeping blood sugar levels even and hunger pangs at bay.

Glycemic Index Weight Loss Diets - Bottom Line

Weight loss experts are still divided as to how useful the Glycemic Index is for weight management.

Weight Loss Diets
Almost all diet programs help us lose weight and teach us something about healthy weight loss. There's no such thing as an ideal weight loss diet. But ideally, follow a balanced diet, set realistic weight loss goals and set aside enough time for aerobic exercise.
