Warning – A Low GI Diet Can Seriously Improve Your Health

Over the years many fad diets have come and gone, most of them having short-lived results or detrimental effects on general health.  There is one diet however, that has stood the test of time and is a sensible eating program that not only helps you to lose weight but also has many major health benefits.  This is the Low GI diet.

 GI stands for Glycemic Index and in simple terms, is a measure of  food in your blood sugar.  Foods with a high GI index (such as white breads, sweets, chips etc.)  are converted quickly into glucose and foods with a low GI index (such as breads with grains, nuts and seeds, vegetables and fruit) are converted slowly.

 If high levels of glucose enter the bloodstream the body panics and therefore releases too much insulin which can lead to weight gain.  If this happens too often the cells that normally respond to glucose become resistant to its signals and can lead to many health problems.

 There are many benefits to be gained by following a Low GI diet, some of which are listed here.

 1. Healthy heart. According to research, women who eat lots of refined carbohydrates have 10% less good cholesterol, which keeps the heart healthy, in their bloodstream than those on a low GI diet.  Also it is found that they have 76% more triglycerides, a particularly toxic form of fat.  Also women who switched just one serving of refined carbohydrates to whole grains each day cut their risk of stroke by 40%.

 2. Increased Fertility.Imbalances in blood sugar can reduce the body’s ability to handle progesterone, the hormone that is vital for a successful pregnancy.

 3. Cut PMS symptoms. PMS (Pre menstrual syndrome) has also been linked to erratic blood sugar levels.

 4. Reduce risk of developing diabetes. Following a low GI diet will dramatically cut your risk of developing diabetes.  If you already suffer from diabetes, you will be able to control your condition more effectively by keeping blood glucose levels more stable.

 5. Boost your immune system. Sugary foods attack your immune system.  When fighting illness, white blood cells constantly destroy germs, but when exposed to sugar this ability is dramatically reduced so you will be more vulnerable to picking up germs and fighting them off.

 6. Cut down risk of some cancers. A diet that is rich in high GI foods may increase the risk of breast cancer.  High levels of insulin can trigger an increase in insulin-like growth hormones which can encourage breast cancer cells to grow.  Pancreatic cancer has also been linked to a high GI diet.

 7. Live longer. People with high levels of vitamin C in their blood can live up to 6 years longer than those with lower levels. A high GI diet can decrease the amount of vitamin C you absorb from food by 25%.  This is because glucose and vitamin C enter cells in the same way and if there is too much glucose around, less vitamin C is absorbed.

 It is obviously a good idea to make some changes to your diet and lifestyle, particularly if you eat a lot of sweet  or processed foods. By following a Low GI diet you will give yourself the healthy body you deserve.

The G.I. Diet Cookbook $12.31 Americans are gluttons for diet fads. The trouble is, trendy diets—no matter how effective in helping you lose weight—usually fail when it comes to keeping the weight off. And most impose so many restrictions that they make eating a grim duty. The G.I. Diet Cookbook pursues a much more enjoyable strategy. Its 100-plus recipes, created by British food celebrity Antony Worrall Thompson, emphasize satisfaction, not deprivation. The glycemic index focuses on the benefits of low-G.I. foods from every category, including carbohydrates. Because they’re slow to digest, low-G.I. foods make you feel less hungry, allowing you to shed pounds effortlessly. And because the book’s dishes are so varied and delicious, maintaining weight loss is easier than ever before. The G.I. diet is rooted in sound nutritional principles that have long been used by diabetics to control their weight and blood sugar. But Thompson’s culinary ingenuity—and his devotion to preparing food that’s as tasty as it is healthy—has transformed this formerly “medical” diet into one that everyone will find irresistible.

The G.I. Diet $12.48 "The G.I. Diet," a "New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal" bestseller is now in paperback. Dubbed "The Canadian Miracle Diet" by "Woman’s World" magazine, Rick Gallop’s "G.I. Diet" was a #1 bestseller in Canada, and was chosen by "People" magazine and ABC-TVs "The View" as one of the top diet books of 2005. And no wonder. If you can understand a traffic light, you can understand "The G.I. Diet"–and lose weight permanently without feeling hungry, counting calories, or jeopardizing your arteries. Backed by the science of the glycemic index, the program places every type of food into one of three color-coded categories: green–make these foods the centerpiece of your diet; yellow–eat occasionally, after you’ve achieved your ideal weight; and red–avoid. For example, white bread, including bagels and rolls, causes blood sugar to spike and hunger to return because the body digests it quickly. It’s "red." Stone-ground whole-wheat bread, which is digested slowly and gives a much longer feeling of satiety, is "green." The diet is a cinch to stick to, truly healthful, and couldn’t be easier to follow. Includes recipes, snack ideas, a shopping list, and tips for dining out.

G.I. Diet $13.26 Why was this a #1 bestseller in Canada in 2002, currently with 74,00 copies in print? Because it is an easy-to-follow, easy-to-stick-to, truly healthy approach to eating that is based on the Glycemic Index, the original science behind The Zone Diet, but eliminates that diet’s complexity and tendency to leave dieters wanting more. If you can understand a traffic light, you can understand this diet–and lose weight permanently without feeling hungry, counting calories, or jeopardizing your health. If a food is in the green column, eat it. If it’s in the red column, avoid it. And if it’s in the yellow column, proceed with caution. Take bread for example. White bread, with its high G.I. number is red–because it’s so highly processed the body digest it quickly, resulting in a spike in blood sugar, a release of insulin, potential storage as fat, and a quick return of the hungry feeling. Low G.I. 100 stone-ground wholewheat bread is green–the body takes a while to digest it, with no spike in blood sugar and a much longer feeling of satiety. Green, yellow, red: It’s all here, with a full explanation of how the diet works, plus ratings for breakfast, lunch , and dinner, snacks, eating out or eating in. Includes some recipes, snack ideas, a shopping list, and tips on dining out.
