The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and an indicator of the speed with which the carbohydrates of the food gets converted to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The believe is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Gi score), keep you satiated for longer and help to injest less food without craving snacks all the time. It's also especially beneficial for diabetics, as the low GI food types are beneficial in preventing rises in blood sugar levels. Foods containing carotenes (includes carrots, collard greens and sweet potatoes) These foods have high levels of carotenes (alpha and beta) thought play a key part in minimizing the chances of contracting, specifically of the the esophagus and stomach. A good number also have a low calorie count, so are ideal for including in your diet. |
