Weight Loss Following A Low Gi Diet
Ensuring that the whole family leads an active life and has a healthy diet can be quite a challenge especially for busy mums who try to cater for all the family’s tastes.
Planning meals in advance helps take some of the stress away and enables you to visit the shops less frequently and buy in bulk – helping to save both time and money. But more often than not it is the pressure of what to serve up that causes the most concern. The combination of mums’ watching their weight, dads’ wanting a hearty helping, teenage girls’ experimenting with vegetarianism and growing boys’ with hollow legs is enough to send even the most talented chef into a state of disarray.
But fear not, there is a diet plan that caters for all these varying needs. The low GI diet, which is actually more of a lifestyle than diet, promotes overall health and well being as opposed to dramatic weight loss and is ideal for all the family.
The principles of the low GI diet is based on the slow release of energy which means that you stay fuller for longer (so you don’t need to snack) and the ways in which foods are cooked are healthier ideal if you’re watching the waistline, the food is (or can be as) hearty and wholesome as you wish, pulses and nuts are all key low gi foods so it’s perfect for vegetarians and as energy levels from low gi foods are released more slowly it means you’re energy levels are sky high!!
Other benefits of following a low gi diet include:
*Better concentration
*Helps regulate mood swings
*Weight control
*Helps maintain consistent blood sugar levels
