giindex.jpgMost of you might have heard of this term which is simply a ranking of foods based on the speed at which they are absorbed by the human body. Experts say that a GI diet is a good way to acheive and maintain a perfect body as long as it is managed and designed properly by a dietician who regularly checks the dietary needs of your body. Carbohydrates are classified as the most worrysome of foods for it is responsible fopr body mass or too much of it that is. Taming those carbs, and watching their sugar contents is not only healthy but allows the body to maintain a well-balanced nutritionsl system that is good for everybody.
Enjoyed by celebrities like Sharon Stone who is turning 50 but has the body most 20 year olds would die for. The system works by classifying foods such as; Reds (meats and other high Carb foods) are cut out or strictly limited, Yellows are moderated and Greens (obviously vegetables and fruits) are the most favorable according to their nice GI rating.

“Eating low instead of high GI foods is a good slimming stretegy and good for your health, because it avoids blood sugar lows that cause snacking and fat storage. As long as you keep the rest of your diet balanced, like Sharon does (by eating protein, dairy and moderate quantities of fat), this is a healthy eating plan.”


Even if the approach is good, it shoiuld always be managed and monitored for each and every person has a specific nutrition needs which might need more or less of some nutrients to prevent disease and allow the nody to function properly.
