Why Choose the Glycemic Index Diet?
GI, which stands for Glycemic Index, is a number. This number is assigned to a food, mainly carbohydrates, based on how fast its sugars and starches are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream when compared with pure glucose. So, this means that a low GI indicates that the food is digested and absorbed more slowly.
Reduced Diabetes risk: Consuming too much of sugar makes heavy demands on insulin-producing cells. It wears them out. Over time, insulin stops responding to the high blood sugar levels and finally, insulin production eventually stops. You develop diabetes. Studying and understanding a basic glycemic index chart (included in this book!) can be very helpful in forming a dietary plan. You will learn to focus on foods that are lowest on the glycemic chart. These foods are rich in proteins and healthy fats. You can almost eliminate the risk of contracting diabetes by following the GI Diet. By protecting your insulin response from being over worked, the GI Diet keeps your heart, brains and other organs healthier, even if you have a history of diabetes in your family.
Lose weight effectively: The GI Diet teaches you to make food choices that allow you to lose weight naturally – and even better, keep it off easily. This is because by following a low GI diet, you choose food that keeps your sugar and insulin levels on a healthy and constant plateau. You don’t feel the need to keep eating.
Improve your heart health: The GI Diet will allow you to choose food which will help to lower your cholesterol, which in turn will reduce the chances of developing other health issues.

Glycemic Index Diet - The Total Evolution
Introduction
Are you familiar with the glycemic index but want to learn more or is it an entirely new concept to you? Either way, we are about to show you how the glycemic index is calculated and how natural foods can stabilize your blood sugar levels and give you added health benefits too – one of them being radical weight loss.
You get to understand how controlling the foods you eat based on the glycemic index can result in weight loss, reduce the risk of diabetes and lower your cholesterol.
The glycemic diet is not just another fad diet.
When you use the glycemic index to plan your meals, it means that you are actually following a glycemic index diet. What may come as a surprise to you is that the GI diet is not a diet
where you have to follow specific meal plans, lists of foods to eat and foods to avoid; rather, it’s a way of life. The glycemic index is a tool and proven method you can use to select foods that meet your specific dietary needs and desires.
The glycemic index measures carbohydrates, which are made up of simple or complex sugar molecules. It also ranks food depending on the rate at which the body breaks it down to form glucose.
The goal of this ebook is to help you understand these effects and adhere to the simple guidelines that will help you recognize foods by their glycemic index. The ebook will also help you to make better food choices.
Carbohydrates have earned a bad rap, but they are not really the villains they are made out to be. Many carbohydrates are good for you, and it is not necessary to avoid all carbohydrates, as many fad diets suggest.
As you read on, you see how high and low blood sugar levels can affect your health and your feelings of well being. You are able to identify the direct link between GI and controlling diabetes. You may even be able to substantially reduce the risk of becoming diabetic.
This book also includes a list of many common foods and their GI rating together with easy-to-follow suggestions that will allow you to make the right food choices. You can then use the glycemic index to make gradual, lasting changes in your diet, at which point, you will realize that making the best food choices comes naturally to you.
We won’t pretend that it’s an easy journey. It will take a lot of work on your part to learn good dietary practices and change how you think about food. The end result is certainly well worth the effort.
Chapter 1: The Glycemic Index—An Overview
The GI concept was originally developed in 1981 by Canadian professor and scientist, Dr. David Jenkins, along with his colleagues at the University of Toronto. It was designed mainly to help people with diabetes. GI is now also promoted for weight loss and overall wellbeing. The idea behind GI is to make sure people consume foods that are digested more slowly in order to promote greater satiety. Being satisfied after a meal also helps people to eat less.
Glycemic Index—How does it work?
GI, which stands for glycemic index, is a number. This number is assigned to a given food, mainly carbohydrates, based on how fast its sugars and starches are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream when compared with pure glucose. So, this means that a low GI indicates that the food is digested and absorbed more slowly.
