The Glycemic Index DietThe Glycemic Index (GI) rates how fast carbohydrates break down and increase blood sugar. Lower glycemic carbohydrates stabilize blood sugar better, which helps control insulin. It is said eating foods with a low GI will:
• Control your blood glucose level • Control your cholesterol level • Control your appetite • Lower your risk of getting heart disease • Lower your risk of type 2 diabetes  Consuming foods on the middle to lower end of the GI should keep you full over a longer period of time helping you control your appetite and therefore reduce your weight. Diabetics must eat foods low on the Glycemic Index to
control their blood sugar levels. Glycemic Index Food TablesVH= Very High H= High M= Medium L= Low  
A friend of mine followed the GI diet by eating unlimited foods with a Low rating, 3 foods per day with a Medium rating, 2 with a High rating and allowing herself only one food per day with a Very High rating. She lost the 20lbs she needed to lose in seven weeks, but as an added bonus reports a very marked improvement in her cellulite, which must be a brilliant motivator!
