What is a Low Glycemic Index DIET? How will it help me get to and maintain a healthy weight?

The Weight Loss results are FAST, EASY and SAFE.  Learn how our weight loss programs can help YOU.

The Glycemic Index or GI, is a measurement of the blood glucose levels. The GI gives a rating to foods, since all carbs are not created equal!! I do not believe in carb absent diets. They set people up for failure and make you starving. So, when you are ready to eat you want to eat everything in sight. And besides carbs are needed in a healthy balanced diet to aid in regular body functions, including brain function and it also helps you to get the most out of your workout! So, why would anyone ever want to cut out carbs! Therefore, by using the GI rating system you can substitute high GI foods such as potatoes and white flour with foods low on the GI scale such as a yam or oatmeal. This will help you feel full longer, feel satiated sooner, prevent spikes in blood sugar and fend off cravings for sugary foods, balances insulin levels, helps reduce excess body fat, increases sports endurance and performance.
