Can I lose weight eating food with a low glycemic index?

Food that has a low glycemic index includes broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, red peppers, cherries, grapefruit.

The whole philosophy behind eating low glycemic food for weight loss goes something like this. Choosing low GI carbs, produces only small fluctuations in your blood glucose and insulin levels.

And according to low GI diet supporters, this is the secret to long-term health and is one of the keys to sustainable weight loss.

In our section Glycemic Index, we cover this nutrition approach in full detail.

But we want to make it clear right here on this page, that the glycemic index was developed based on eating carbohydrates by themselves, and in a fasted state.

And the goal of this research was to find which foods were the best for people with diabetes.

When you follow a balanced nutrition strategy with all the nutrients that your body needs, the glycemic index totally loses its importance.

We suggest that you start out with reading the information in our Nutrition Strategy section.

There we explain why it is important to pay attention to consuming moderate ratios of protein, carbohydrates and good fat in every meal during the day.

If you have the time and desire to go a little deeper into what it really takes to create the body of your dreams, you can read all the information we have prepared for you starting with our Home page.

The main point we try to make in our weight loss program is this. By using a balanced approach, you increase your chances of creating a lean, healthy body more than using any other technique!
