LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX DIET
INTRODUCTION The Low-Glycemic Index Diet chooses low-glycemic index foods in a dietary plan, where GI is a rating of how fast foods increase blood glucose levels in an individual after consumption. Based on high consumptions of whole, minimally processed foods that exert a slow relative blood glucose response, the diet establishes blood sugar stabilization and effective weight control, reducing the risks of both chronic diseases: type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It is basically founded upon the very fact that not all carbohydrates are created equal, and the quality of carbohydrates is just as important as the quantity.
