The gi (or glycaemic index) diet system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and a score illustrating the ease that the glucose and energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can take in less food without feeling you are missing out. It is also especially beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in reducing rises in blood glucose levels.
