Getting started on a low-GI diet
he glycemic index has gotten a lot of attention lately, and some studies show that eating a diet of foods that are low on the glycemic index may help certain people lose weight. Low glycemic foods are those that don't cause blood sugar to spike suddenly, but instead let it increase at a slow, steady pace. It's believed this may be healthier for the heart, prevent diabetes, and help people stay full for longer periods of time.
Prevention recently organized lists of foods by how they rank on the glycemic index. Not only does this make shopping and meal planning simple, they offer suggestions on how to get started on a low-GI diet. If you think that this type of diet is for you, it might be worth a look!

This really is as easy as avoiding white foods: refined sugar, flour, potatoes. I think radishes and turnips are okay :)
