===========================================================

The Glycemic Index Diet (low GI diet) is about eating according to the effect food has on blood sugar. This is very important for those who want to lose weight and especially those who are diabetic or live with hypoglycemia and heart disease. I put on weight very easily and as a result I follow a low GI and healthy diet.

Lowering GI in meals is very easy.

You can lower the glycemic index of your meals by:
- Sprinkling some seeds to your salads,
- Adding some lentils to your stews and rice,
- Substituting some of your mince meat with lentils,
- Using more deciduous and citrus fruit than tropical fruit,
- Cooling your starchy food and reheating before eating,
- Eating more beans and
- Having vegetables with most meals.

With the summer fast approaching in the Northern hemisphere, everyone is looking for an unhealthy quick fix to a fab body. Low GI diet compliments low fat and high fibre diets in a very good way. It is never too late to start living healthy. Start investing in your healthy lifestyle, small baby steps at a time. Take a look at the articles we have on low GI living, below. It should give you a great start if you are still confused by the number of fad diets in the market. As expected we have some food lists to help with your groceries too.

High-Carb and High GI Diet Raises Women's Diabetes Risk

Black American women and Chinese women who ate foods high on the glycemic index -- which measures the effect of carbohydrates on blood glucose levels -- were at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, two new studies found.

One of the studies also found that eating more cereal fiber may be associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes in black American women. (SOURCE: JAMA/Archives journals, Nov., 2007)

Weight-Loss Aids Bought on Internet Might Harm Your Heart

Weight-loss supplements widely available for purchase online often include ingredients that are potentially hazardous to your heart, and a new study shows the labels often don't include this warning. (SOURCES: Heart Rhythm Society, San Francisco)
