The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet system is based on the glycaemic index, a chart showing food types and an indicator of the ease with which the glucose of the food gets changed to sugar in your bloodstream. The claim is that long-acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can injest less food without feeling you are always hungry.
It is also extremely good for folk with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in reducing surges in blood sugar amount.
