Whilst GI (Glycaemic Index) diets are very popular, it is also important to know the GL (Glycaemic Load) per portion to get the full picture on how a meal or snack will affect you. This clear introduction to GI and GL explains how following a low GI/GL diet can help you lose weight and keep blood sugar levels under control. Do you want a food programme that will keep you healthy and boost your energy levels? Want clarification on good carbs and bad carbs? The Glycaemic Index (GI) is a simple measure of the effect of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels. The Glycaemic Load (GL) refines this to allow for everyday portion sizes. The GI+GL Diet points you to foods that regulate blood sugar levels and help you to control your weight. Still unclear? This book will explain it all, by including: basic GI+GL rules, shopping lists, recipes, and advice for eating out; practical ways to fit low GI+GL foods into your lifestyle; clear explanation of Glycaemic Index and Glycaemic Load |
