GI Diets

What is a GI or the Glycaemic Index?

The Glycaemic Index looks at how the carbohydrates in your food affect your blood sugar level. Surprisingly, not all sugary or starchy foods affect the blood sugar level the same way. Some foods have a drawn out, slow effect on your blood sugar level while others cause a sudden, dramatic change.

Blood sugar level effects

Eating food that suddenly raises your blood pressure will also make it 'crash' afterwards as your body overcompensates and metabolises more than it should. This is why you can feel tired a short while after eating something sweet, you get the initial rush of sugar in your blood then your blood sugar, and energy levels, dive down.

Weight loss and GI diets

A slower release of sugar keeps you feeling fuller, longer. As a result you don't eat so much and you lose more weight.
