Easy To Prepare Low Glycemic Index Recipes

By Nancy Sullivan


Everybody is talking about low GI foods. It's not really complicated to find food with low GI, and choosing it in your diet might ease your battle with extra pounds immensely. In Boston MA there are many specialized stores offering this type of food, but it can also be found in your nearest store as well. Low Glycemic index recipes don't have to be complicated, and can improve your health and the quality of life.

Low GI foods need more time to be processed by your body, and this makes you feel full for longer periods of time. This type of foods rise your blood sugar levels slowly, and you won't feel the energy boost right away, but you will have more energy and you won't be hungry. This means that you will be able to eat less and to lose weight faster.

Some foods obviously have very high GI, for example sweets, candies, sweet juices, sugar and so on. Other foods are not so simple to recognize, for example potatoes, or different processed foods. The main rule is to pick natural food, the one that is not processed, that is rich with fibers, in short, the foods that need more time to digest, and spend more energy during this process.

High calorie foods such as olive oil must be used sparingly, in case you are concerned about your weight, of course. On the other hand, consuming only low GI food will result in more efficient weight loss, because your body will have to use more energy to process this food.
