The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index weight loss program is based on the glycaemic index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the glucose and energy in the food type gets changed to sugar in your body. The theory is that long-acting foods (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to take in fewer food without being miserabl;e.
It's also very useful for diabetics, as the low GI foods are beneficial in minimizing surges in blood glucose amount.
