The theory is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can eat fewer food without being miserabl;e. It is also extremely beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in reducing surges in blood glucose secretion.
