The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss regime is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and an indicator of the speed with which the carbs of the food gets converted to sugar in your system. The theory is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and help you to injest less food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also extremeley effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in reducing surges in blood glucose levels. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, chives and welsh onion) The onion family of foods is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is little scientific proof published, allyl sulphides are also believed to aid in antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime. |
