The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is linked to the glycaemic index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the ease with which the carbs of the food type gets converted to sugar in your body. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and help to consume fewer food without feeling you are always hungry.
It is also extremeley useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in controlling increases in blood glucose secretion.
