How will the Gi diet work for you?

The Glycaemic index (Gi) tells us what effect a carbohydrate food has on our blood sugar levels. Low Gi foods release sugar slowly into the blood stream, providing us with a steady supply of energy. This helps us feel fuller for longer, reducing cravings and eating these filling, low Gi foods makes it easier to reduce our calorie intake without hunger, boosting weight loss painlessly! Low Gi foods are also important for managing diseases, such as diabetes where controlling blood sugar levels is essential.
