The Low-Glycemic Index Diet was developed by Dr. David J. Jenkins, a professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto and later turned into a successful line of diet books by author and former president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, Rick Gallop. According to the publishing company, Virgin Books, the G.I. Diet has sold over two million copies. G.I. stands for Glycemic Index, a medical term used to measure the speed at which carbohydrates break down in the digestive system to form glucose. Glucose is the body's source of energy - it is the fuel that feeds your brain, muscles, and other organs. Glucose is set at 100, and all foods are indexed against that number. So foods that are quickly digested have a high G.I., and foods that are digested more slowly have a lower G.I. In spite of the common belief that table sugar contributes to the development of diabetes, it has medium (55-69) GI that produces lower blood glucose levels than the equal amount of calories obtained from starch and some other carbohydrates. Leading international diabetes associations (e.g., Canadian Diabetes AssociationCDA) ) recommends that table sugar be actually part of the diabetes diet. EXAMPLES OF G.I. RATINGS High-G.I.

According to the Low-G.I. Diet, when you eat high-G.I. foods, such as corn flakes, your body rapidly converts them into glucose, which dissolves in your bloodstream, spiking your blood sugar level and giving you that familiar sugar rush or high. When you eat a low-G.I. food, such as oatmeal, it will break down more slowly and deliver the glucose into the bloodstream at a slower but steady rate. From Wikipedia under the

Ignore that Wuyi nut and his suspect intrusive links. Google GI diet. There are suggestions and recipes. Tou should lose a safe 2lbs a week on 1250-1500 calories (depending on your weight and activity). Go for the 1250 to 1350 first, see how you get on with that and be patient.

Q. need adive Asked by meggers - Wed Feb 6 00:08:53 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. If the diet has a word like detox, beach or anything like that it is most likely a fad that will not provide lasting results. A low GI diet is extremely healthy and works for long term weight loss. Answered by iQ Fitness - Wed Feb 6 00:40:55 2008 How long does it take to see results after starting a new fitness/diet plan?
Q. Last Friday I started a new diet, I only eat foods with a low G.I. (Glycaemic Index). I have also been doing at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise on the exercise bike daily. It has nearly been a whole week and I am proud to say I have stuck to my new lifestyle and am feeling great. My question is, how long does it take to start noticing big changes in weight loss? I am a 21yo female weighing around 54kg if that helps (my bathroom scales haven't been used in a long time so not sure how acurate this is). Thanks for any input! :) Asked by Skye - Thu Apr 22 01:06:10 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments From Yahoo Answer Search: "G.I. Diet"
