Note: The Glycemic Index (GI) is a relatively new method of assessing carbohydrate in foods according to its immediate effect on blood glucose levels. The basic categories are high-GI foods (GI value 70+); Intermediate GI foods (GI value 56-69) and Low-GI foods (GI value 55 or less). If you have insulin resistance, diabetes or any associated conditions, choose lower GI foods.

GI and Weight Management

As far as healthy weight management is concerned, it is our opinion that GI diets will supercede low carb diet plans, as they offer all the advantages (appetite control, reduction of cravings, improved glucose metabolism) of carb controlled diets without any long term health problems.
