Glycemic Index Explained

Comments (1)

All carbohydrate foods behave differently in our bodies. The Glycemic Index, (GI), ranks all these types of carbohydrates from 0 to 100 according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. It is only based on foods high in carbohydrates and is about quality of that food and not quantity.

Creating long-term health for yourself by using the Glycemic Index is very simple. It is just a case of choosing the low GI foods that will release glucose into your blood stream at a slow pace, little by little and for a longer period of time. This keeps your energy levels balanced also makes you feel fuller for longer between meals.

Some carbohydrates act in a different way and are quickly broken down in the intestines rapidly raising blood glucose levels. The foods with these types of carbohydrates should be avoided; these have a high Glycemic Index.

Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in our bodies. To put it more simply it is the amount of energy, (calories), your body burns to maintain itself.

“I completed my first 11 days and shed 3 kilos. They promise 4 but it doesn’t matter, maybe my portions were slightly bigger than they should have been. I didn’t work out at all. During the 3day off period I couldn’t eat much because I had gotten used to eating small portions. They ask you to eat till the point you’re not totally full, therefore limiting calories.

The idiot proof idea seems to be that you don’t have to ‘drown’ in numbers and calorie count but eating and stopping before you’re full will do the job for your body. The 2 days of really low calories are the worst, but the remaining 9 are decent. I’ll stick to it because it’s easy to do.

For the diet generator there’s no option for foods containing sugar, bread potatoes or pasta so I guess most people will lose weight just by eliminating these foods. My question is whether their premise is right, the idea that shifting calories keeps the metabolism active and you lose weight more effectively. I will stick to it because, scientifically sound or not, it helped me quit my nasty eating habits and start losing weight by following a plan. They also offer a vegetarian option.”
