Yep, you bet! The basis of low GI diet is a numeric value on the carbs in most common foods. Get a copy of the GI Index 2009 and it will help you to see what foods are considered low, medium, high and at what exact amounts. It will surprise you!
If you are borderline diabetic take this seriously and as a wake up call to change your life while you can through diet and exercise. Invest in a few books (see below) that will help you in knowing great food choices versus the ones making you sick (refined, processed sugars and carbs). Switch to all Whole Grains and go easy (majorly easy!!!!) on brown rice and other rice containing foods. Also, stay away from corn…it has a ridiculously high GI value!
No artificial sweeteners (they do further damage to your insulin production), no sugars, no alcohol, and stay away from “no sugar, low sugar, or sugar free” products as they can certainly contain sugar, just not the FDA allowed Sucrose therefore they are allowed to advertise as sugar free!
There is always a bit of contention about what diets are Best for diabetics, One of my diabetic nurses likes the GI diet and others don’t. So I use a mixture of low GI foods and bits of other diets that fit in to my lifestyle and so mix and match in a way. So find out what is the best way for YOU to stick to you new diet. The one thing everyone agrees with is that things labelled ‘for diabetics’ ie chocolate are no good and in the case of chocolate if you want to include some occasionally then it is better to stick to a good dark chocolate with the highest percentage of cocoa solids you like ie more than 50% as it contains iron and current research shows it can help in heart disease.
Yes they are healthy for everyone.
Your body will digest these foods slowly leaving you feeling full for longer and allowing you to eat less calories without feeling hungry. Adding a low GI food to a meal will lower the glycemic index of the whole meal.
Foods with a high GI tend to quickly raise your body’s blood sugar levels, by contrast foods with a low GI will raise them more slowly and over a longer period.
One nice thing about low GI is that it really is not a diet. And yes it would be great if all of us ate that way. It would reduce Type 2 diabetes to almost nothing. Cancer and many other diseases would decline. I practice Low GI and do not feel deprived one bit. All the food I love are low GI. The best Glycemic Index on the web is :http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
It contains a list of 2,480 foods. Check it out.
If you want to lose weight Nordic walk at least 30 minutes a day. Nordic walking is with Ski Poles or just plain sticks. Why just walk when you can build upper body at the same time.
Kewl!
