By Nancy Sullivan


Everybody is talking about low GI foods. It's not really complicated to find food with low GI, and choosing it in your diet might ease your battle with extra pounds immensely. In Boston MA there are many specialized stores offering this type of food, but it can also be found in your nearest store as well. Low Glycemic index recipes don't have to be complicated, and can improve your health and the quality of life.

The difference between foods with low and high GI is basically in the time needed for their digestion, if you want to simplify the things. Sugar will boost your energy really quickly, but you will probably be hungry very soon after consuming it. If you eat foods with low GI, you won't be hungry, because this type of food won't instantly rise your blood sugar levels, and it will make you feel full.

Some foods obviously have very high GI, for example sweets, candies, sweet juices, sugar and so on. Other foods are not so simple to recognize, for example potatoes, or different processed foods. The main rule is to pick natural food, the one that is not processed, that is rich with fibers, in short, the foods that need more time to digest, and spend more energy during this process.

Of course, if you want to lose a few pounds, you still have to pay attention to the nutritional value of the foods you consume or the number of calories. However, choosing a low glycemic index will speed up your weight loss process while you will not be constantly hungry and you will have more energy.
