The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of foods and a score illustrating the ease that the glucose and energy in the food type gets transformed to glucose in your bloodstream. The claim is that slow release types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to consume fewer food without feeling hungry. It's also extremeley effective for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in managing surges in blood sugar secretion.

If a meal has higher calories, then it will gives you a larger amount of energy when consumed. Foods low in calories include bok choy, mushrooms, apricot, lower fat hot-dogs, and white eggs.
