I saw someone do a review of the bikini model programme and i decided that since I want to lose weight I
would try to use a review type thing as a motivation. So I will be doing the Low G.I diet and commenting on my progress every week.
I'm allowed only low g.i foods and some medium and rarely some high.
"The
glycemic index,
glycaemic index, or
GI is a measure of the effects of
carbohydrates on
blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and release
glucose rapidly into the
bloodstream have a high GI; carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. The concept was developed by Dr.
David J. Jenkins and colleagues
[1] in 1980–1981 at the
University of Toronto in their research to find out which foods were best for people with
diabetes. A lower glycemic index suggests slower rates of digestion and absorption of the foods' carbohydrates and may also indicate greater extraction from the liver and periphery of the products of carbohydrate digestion. A lower glycemic response usually equates to a lower insulin demand but not always, and may improve long-term blood glucose control
[2] and
blood lipids. The
insulin index is also useful for providing a direct measure of the insulin response to a food."

im excited to see if this will work!
its basically a lifestyle change!
