Some low G.I. foods include fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains, lean meat/fish and low-fat dairy. Based on the G.I. level of foods, they are broken down into three colors. Red light foods are ones you shouldn't consume. Yellow light foods should be eaten on occasion. Your diet should be comprised of green light foods.
Two green light foods, roasted peanuts and low-fat yogurt, have a G.I. value of 14, while mashed potatoes and white bread have a G.I. value of 70. A G.I. table can help you keep tabs on the foods you should be eating. Green light foods have a G.I. of 55 or less. Yellow light foods have a G.I. of 56 to 69 and red light foods have a G.I. from 70 to 100.
Following a G.I. diet will do more than just help you lose weight. It will lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. You won't go hungry or feel deprived, especially when you're eating pecan brownies, chicken jambalaya, grilled pesto salmon with asparagus and other mouth-watering meals.
Expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week when following the G.I. diet. You'll also notice that although the pounds might come off slowly, your clothes will fit better in no time.

I found this very interesting and it would make it much
easier to lose weight without feeling that you were on a
diet. I liked it.

I found the information very helpful. I had heard about Glycemic Index diets, but I didn't know how the diet worked. Luckily, I eat all the foods recommended now, and rarely eat anything made with white flour. I eat low amounts of sugar and never processed foods.

This is an excellent food plan. I was diagnosed diabetic last March and started looking for a food plan that I could live with. The G.I. plan has been easy to follow and satisfies me.

When you said GI diet I thought you ment GI as in stomach and the rest. I have a hiatial hernia and have bad acid reflux. My husband has problems with gas and liquid stools. We could use a report on GI help.

any diet that professes to accomplish this much has to be on the correct tract and worth looking into.

Hello....I grew up with someone who is a diabetic. So, I am very skeptical of any diet that doesn't include the 4 food groups. This is the first diet that I have seen that makes sense with a diabetic diet. Even if you don't eat a totally diabetic diet or aren't diabetic yourself, keeping tabs on what you eat is a good practice. Good fats and lots of dairy is a good idea, in my opinion.

I want to start this diet asap. Right now I have asthmatic bronchitis, but as soon as this is resolved I will get on the diet. This site has been a help and I would like to keep the above information after I send this rating/opinion of this site. Thanks! Patricia

I have done this diet. It works amazingly. I have many health problems and all I can say this has helped me out quite a bit. It is almost like eating the mediterrain way.

I did this diet for health reasons.It was amazing.Not only did I drop the weight,my sugars came down,colestoral was in the 600's, it is now in the low 200's. I was never really heavy to begin with,only wanted to lose 10 lbs.When I found out how it helped me, I now eat this way all the time.I'm of middle eastern decent, so it's almost like a mediterrian diet.Which happens to be a very healthy way of eating.
