GI Diet: GI stands for Glycemic Index, the latest thing in weight-loss thinking. If you have had enough of single-food diets (like i.e. the grapefruit diet or the cabbage diet) or the high-protein - low-carb ones ( ie. the Dr Atkins diet), then you may want to look into the GI diet.
The theories of nutritionist Dr David Jenkins about the GI Diet go a totally different way. The Glycemic Index measures how quickly carbohydrates are digested and release their sugars into the bloodstream. Foods with a high GI rating release glucose rapidly, their energy is rapidly burned up and hunger quickly returns. The Chinese meal syndrome, where you're hungry half an hour later, is the perfect illustration of this.
Low-rated slow-release foods, by contrast, provide long-term energy and tend to require the body to do more work to convert it. Oats, beans, barley and similar foods high in soluble fibre represent the ideal forms of low-GI food. Fats are likewise differentiated into the familiar saturated fats (they are bad), unsaturated fats (they are ok) and polyunsaturated fats (these fats are the best for your body).
Naturally, there is more to it than this rather obvious-sounding core concept. To work best, the GI-diet is split into an introductory weight-loss period to shed weight, followed by a less severe maintenance diet (in this, the GI diet is rather like the Atkins Diet but much less difficult to maintain and less restrictive).
Lists of foods graded by GI rating are needed to use the diet and recipes and suggestions for exercise regimes can help you build a lifestyle plan.
