Low Glycemic Index Diet
The Low Glycemic Index (GI) Diet focuses on foods that have a low GI score. These are foods that cause a slow, steady rise in blood sugar levels instead of a quick spike, aiming to control hunger and manage energy levels.
Followers of this diet believe that by selecting low-GI foods - such as whole grains, legumes, fruits, and non-starchy vegetables - they can feel full longer, thereby controlling their appetite and possibly aiding in weight loss. They also think that this approach can help manage or prevent diabetes and heart disease by controlling blood sugar and insulin levels.
In comparison to diets like the Atkins or Keto diet, which focus on limiting carbohydrates in general, the Low GI Diet does not restrict carbohydrate intake but rather focuses on the type of carbohydrates consumed.
