GI diet-My Story

I lost 20lbs in three months by following GI diet plan. Losing weight was always a nightmare for me as I had thyroid problem. I used to pile up fat every now and then and with every failing diet plan I was losing my confidence.

Then I decided to try GI diet. Crash dieting will lead to loss of muscle tissue rather than fat hence I never really liked that idea. I always preferred a healthy way of losing weight.

The importance of GI diet is that I never starved and was having food at regular intervals. GI diet involves selecting low GI food items which can reduce the insulin level in the bloodstream. High levels of insulin can cause exhaustion and fatigue which in turn may lead to hunger pangs.

We have food whenever we feel hungry and this causes increase in weight. Low GI food can keep the insulin level low by which hunger pangs are reduced.

If you follow the diet plan correctly, then the chances of achieving your weight loss goal is very high. Select breakfast consisting of oat barn, porridge or whole wheat bread.

You can make soup with vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes and carrots. Have food at regular intervals will reduce the total intake of food thereby keeps the weight in control.

So have low GI snacks like peanuts, walnuts and corn chips during breaks. Drink 8-10 glasses of water to flush the toxins out of your body.

GI diet is the most nutritious way to shed those extra pounds, in my opinion.


*Here I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
