Low GI Diet Breakthrough Review
The Low GI Diet Breakthrough is based on the GI index or Glycemic Index eating strategy where you eat more foods in the lower level of the GI index and eat less foods on the higher level. The GI Index is a scientific way of measuring the amount of sugar that each type of food contains. The more sugar that a food contains, the more that food will spike your blood sugar levels.
You may have learned that when you eat a food that has a lot of sugar, you’ll get a quick boost of energy for about 30 minutes or so. When the sugar high wears off, your system will come crashing down, which makes you feel lethargic. This happens because the high sugar content in what you just ate causes your body to produce an excess amount of insulin.
Unfortunately, many of the guilty pleasure foods we like to eat: candy, donuts, cake, cookies, baked potatoes, and even watermelon are very high in sugar. These foods will cause your body to store a lot of fat, because sugar often turns into fat. If you are diabetic, these high sugar content foods can wreak havoc with your insulin levels.
The obvious choices in the good food categories are fresh fruits and vegetables, but you can also eat medium level foods like mac and cheese, blueberry muffins, ice cream and angel food cake – so this diet does not deprive you of tasty foods.
While this diet does have some things in common with Atkins, South Beach Diet and some others, those diets go way overboard in the carb and protein department. The Low GI Diet won’t have you eating tons of meat – you can eat a well-rounded diet and feel good the entire time.
The book gives you several GI Index charts where it shows you popular foods and what their GI level is: High, Medium or Low. These charts will help you to make wise food choices when you are in everyday situations. Wesley Atkins, the author, realizes that you cannot prepare and eat every meal at home, so the book and charts also prepare you for eating in restaurants and fast food places.
This GI diet plan is pretty easy to follow and includes recipes for GI foods and diet plans. As long as you follow the guidelines of the GI charts, you can find many more recipes that include these low and medium index foods.
The book also discusses the importance of exercise – this is a must. Wesley talks about endurance exercises where you do both biking and running, but if you stick to brisk walking and light weight training, you’ll burn fat and still look great.
The Low GI Diet Breakthrough is a great diet plan for everybody, but especially for diabetics who must watch their sugar levels at all times. This book is a great guide that will show you exactly what types of foods are safe for you to eat and how you should eat them so that you can remain strong and healthy.
