The Glycemic Index (GI) is a guide to a healthy way to stabilize your energy levels throughout the day, increase your stamina, and a great and easy way to lose weight regardless of your weight loss goal!
The Glycemic Index was developed by Physicians for diabetics as a guide to help keep their blood sugar levels within a healthy range. However, using the Glycemic Index is also an intelligent avenue for most anyone to lower the insulin level and thereby increase the energy level, while slowing the body’s fat storage.

The Glycemic Index is based on science and research by physicians, regarding the body’s reaction to different foods, specifically carbohydrates.
Following the Glycemic Index is about putting the right type of fuel into your own “machinery” and making your body “run” the best it can –for as long as possible. Keeping your insulin levels even helps you reduce the risk of many serious health conditions.
Simply stated, you need to learn which carbohydrates are “slow carbs” (meaning those that take longer to break down into your bloodstream) and to avoid sugary foods that make your body produce insulin. Insulin is the hormone your pancreas gland produces to regulate your blood sugar level. Insulin makes your body store fat because it turns the excess sugar into fat.
If you want to avoid mood swings and dips in your energy, you need to keep your blood sugar levels even throughout the day. The Glycemic Index helps you avoid the foods that will give you a quick kick, just to later bring your energy way down. Some of the foods to avoid include baguette and other white breads, baked beans (lots of brown sugar), sweetened cereals and juices. Following the Glycemic Index is easy as you don’t need to worry so much about calories and fat counts. You need only to keep the sugars on a low, even level. Instead of cereal or sweet yoghurt and orange juice for breakfast (a very high GI value), you could make low GI choices, such as an egg, lean ham and whole-grain bread.
