GI and Weight Control

2009-11-04T14:34:00.000-08:00

All sounds a bit too hard, really it's not. Most people are familiar with the term 'glycemic index' or 'GI' but do we really know what it means and can a Low GI diet really help us to control our weight.

Some carbohydrate foods breakdown quickly during digestion and their blood glucose response is fast and high. They are therefore classed as having a high GI. GI is actually a measurement of carbohydrates in foods which affect blood glucose levels. Complex carbohydrates break down slowly, releasing glucose gradually into our bloodstream, which means this is low GI. Initially the term was used in the dietary management of diabetes.
