The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet is reliant on the gi index, a list of foods and a score representing the speed that the glucose in the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that slow release types of food (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to eat less food without feeling hungry. It is also extremeley effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in controlling surges in blood glucose levels. Foods containing carotenes (includes parsley, turnip greens and tomato puree) These amazing vegetables and fruits contain carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by scientists to help in helping stop cancer, specifically those cancers involving the stomach. Many also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet system. |
