What does GI Stand for Anyway?

The ?GI? in GI diet stands for Glycemic Index. The Glycemic Index is based on the carbohydrate content of food and how quickly those carbohydrates affect your blood glucose level. Foods with a high Glycemic Index are quickly digested and turned into sugar. It is no surprise that these foods usually lack necessary vitamins or nutrients and contain needless calories and fats. Foods with a high Glycemic Index (foods ranking 70 or greater on the scale) include:

? Foods high in sugar or glucose
? Baked or mashed potatoes
? White Rice
? Regular (not whole grain) bread
? Cookies, cakes, muffins, doughnuts
? Junk foods

A Little Thought and Preparation Make a Big Difference

The method of food preparation also affects the Glycemic Index. Foods that are cooked or pre-cooked have a higher GI. For example, instant oatmeal or grits have a higher Glycemic Index than the same foods cooked in a more traditional manner. Due to this reason Adidas Originals Uomo Superstar Skate Scarpe Blubird Saldi , individuals who are on a low GI diet tend to put more thought into foods consumed and tend to consume less pre-cooked, pre-packaged foods filled with preservatives or additives.

This diet is also critical for individuals with diabetes or other conditions that make it necessary to monitor their blood sugar levels.
