Low Glycemic Index Eating And The Road To Weight Loss And HealthBy Ellen AgiusThe Glycemic Index (GI) was developed 20 years ago through research on diabetic diets and looking at more complex carbohydrates (sugars) that took longer to process and digest than simple carbohydrates. Therefore this resulted in measuring the Glycemic index of foods.The Glycemic Index (GI) measures the effect of foods

What we now know from numerous observational cohort studies aroundthe world is that the average GI of the diet of people in the lowestquintile (20% of the population) is about 40-50. Similarly, in a recentmeta-analysis of 15 experimental studies investigating the role of lowGI diets in managing diabetes, the average GI was 45.

I am fortunate as this website I found is in my 'extended' area.Now I can bake my own low GI bread the easy way by purchasing a low GI bread mix.

I'm really amazed, I've lost another pound this past week.I'm amazed because I've been to friends' places for dinner and have met friends out for lunch a few times this week. Sound like a real social butterfly........not really, it was just one of those weeks when everything happens together.So because of my social butterflying, I've not been as strict as I should have been with the low gi foods

I found a new recipe for Sunday night's dinner, it's a low gi chicken recipe so I thought it sounded good enough to try on the family. They had gotten a little spoilt with all the new dishes and then the repeats were fine for a while but 'the natives are getting restless again'.So, as they all like chicken, I went looking for a new low gi chicken recipe and found this one.

My bedtime reading this week has been The GI Diet Breakthrough, there is so much good info in that book, it's not just a diet book. I'm determined to understand this low gi diet plan. All these years I've been guilty of using the "I need a sugar hit" to get me through the afternoon. I've done this so often and reading GI Diet Breakthrough, I now realise just how 'off beam' I've been.Things

Since starting on my low GI foods quest, I've found that I'm not eating potatoes very much at all....and.....the good part is I feel so much better. Now I know that it has a lot to do with the way I'm introducing the low gi foods into our meals but having our main meals without potatoes seems to be having a very good effect.By replacing the potatoes with rice and pasta, the meal is not so heavy

With the low gi recipes and low gi diet, finding easy things to have for meals is not hard, and there are so many options that don't require much preparation. After a day at work there is nothing worse than to come home and have to get a meal ready that needs lots of preparation. I found grilling vegetables nice and quick, served with rice and different meats is no trouble.So here's how I grill

just found this on Wiki, it's about low GI diets and foods, remember the carrots being a medium GI well this is how it came about.....======================================From Wiki BooksLow-GI diet refers to a diet that advocates consumption of foods with a low glycaemic index (GI). The glycaemic index measures the rate at which the body converts the carbohydrate in a given food to glucose (

The more I research the more I like the idea of building up my low GI recipes. I started out wanting to control my carb intake and so reduce my weight. With Wesley Atkins' book The Low GI Diet Breakthrough there is so much information to help with the choices I need to make.With this book I'm beginning to understand about low GI or glycemic index and the reason I've been adding the weight,

Well now, what I've found with low GI and meats is really good for someone like me who loves meat, beef, lamb, pork and chicken.FromGlycemic Index Listing for Meatlovers and A'fish'ionados"Meats are a protein food, so as you see in the glycemic index listing they all have very little carbohydrate and therefore a very low GI."That must by why the Lemon & Parsley Chicken, I added to my low GI

While I've been looking for low GI recipes I realized that it's one thing to get a diet book but another to actually follow the diet.

I've found this low GI recipes site for a low GI diet, they have, with each recipe a break down of the nutritional information so I thought I would check on how many carbs I needed each day and found a site where I could work this out, so...........My daily intake of carbs should be 235grmsTo check on daily carbs, here's where I found the calculator. http://www.healthcalculators.org/calculators/

What you may ask are low GI recipes and why might I be setting up a blog about them. Well, first of all what is low GI? I found this on the website called Home of the Glycemic Index. See the GI stands for Glycemic Index. Not what I'd call an inviting name but maybe one that sounds like it should be good for you. Here's what they said about Glycemic IndexNot all carbohydrate foods are
