The Glycaemic Index or GI diet
For as long as there have been dieters there have been people searching for a diet that helps them to lose weight and keep it off that doesn’t require constant weighing, measuring and counting, and doesn’t leave them feeling too deprived. Could the GI diet be what they have been waiting for?
Certainly proponents of the GI diet say that by eating mainly low and medium GI foods most people will feel full for longer and therefore take in less energy and burn more fat. Moreover it is claimed that if all the family are following GI principles, this will help to establish healthy eaing petterns that will live with your children throughout their adult life.
These pages offer an explanation of how the GI diet works, what you can expect if you try it out and which foods are ‘better’ than others.
