whats the GI diet ????

Answer 1

It stands for Gargantuan Intake

Answer 2

It's the Glycemic Index and has to do with the effects of certain foods on the insulin levels in the body.

By biological design, your body stores extra starches in the fat cells around your middle. Because of this, the baked potato, and not the toppings, may actually be the source of unwanted weight gain in many people.

The GI diet is the only diet that has been clinically proven to lead to real and lasting weight loss (not just the loss of water or unsafe wasting).

A great book to read is called "The New Glucose Revolution." Also the "Genetic Key Diet" provides great insight into how to apply this to your lifestyle instead of just giving you the "diet of the week."

Answer 3

It shouldn't be called a diet. It should be part of your lifestyle. It's about staying away from high glycemic carbohydrates. High glycemic carbohydrates stimulate the release of insulin in the body. Insulin is the hormone responsible for increased fat storage. That is why the carbohydrates you eat should be all low glycemic. The only time you should ever ever have high glycemic carbs is after a rigorous workout with some protein.

Answer 4

Glycemic Index Diets....is a ranking system for carbohydrates based on their effect on blood glucose levels in the first two hours. It compares carbohydrates gram for gram in individual foods, providing a numerical, evidence-based index of postprandial (post-meal) glycemia. The concept was invented by Dr. David J. Jenkins and colleagues in 1981 at the University of Toronto.
