The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet is based around the gi index, a list showing foods and a score illustrating the ease with which the carbs in the food type gets changed to glucose in your body. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and mean that you can consume fewer food without starving yourself. It's also very efficient for diabetics, as the low GI foods are beneficial in reducing surges in glucose levels. Brassicas, Wonder foods that aid Your diet (includes Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Mustard greens and Chinese cabbage) Vegetablesi in the brassica family have large amounts of vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (eg. potassium), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents and isothiocyanates.
