Do you want to lose weight and keep it off? Increase your energy levels? The claim: You’ll lose (or maintain) weight while cutting your risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. The theory: Eating “good” carbs – bran cereal and many fruits and veggies, such as apples and carrots, for example – controls appetite and delays hunger, promoting weight loss. “Bad” carbs, such as white bread and instant mashed potatoes, are quickly digested and released into the bloodstream, spiking blood sugar and making you hungry sooner. The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of a carb’s effect on blood sugar. Good carbs are lower on the glycemic index. They are digested slowly, so you feel fuller longer, and your blood sugar and metabolism don’t go out of whack. Why Low GI Not all carbohydrate foods are created equal, in fact they behave quite differently in our bodies. The glycemic index or GI describes this difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. The low GI diet is the secret to long-term health reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss. Why Vegetarian?
