GI JANE
GI stands for glycaemia index. This is a method of numbering carbohydrate foods to tell you if a particular food will make your blood sugar levels rise very quickly, moderately or vary slowly. Low GI foods release energy more slowly than high GI food. Here are some of the benefits of eating the GI way:
Feel fuller for longer
Boost energy levels
Re-fuel your carbohydrates stores after exercise
Reduce cravings
Control blood sugar and insulin levels

TOP TEN LOW GI FOODS

Peppers
Brown basmati rice
Strawberries
Dark chocolate
Brovvoli
Pasta
Lentils

PERFECT PLATE
Fill half your plate with salad or vegetables, a quarter with lean protein and a quarter with carbohydrates. Keep sauces on the side so you can control the amount you eat.
SEE-SAW
You will lose more weight some weeks than others. This doesn’t mean your doing something wrong its simply the nature of...
