Low GI Foods

Tue, 24 Mar 2015 21:30:44 +0000

Low gi – Glycemic Index or GI Index, is a ranking of carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the extent to which they raise blood sugar levels.
Low GI = 55 or less
Medium GI = 56 – 69
High GI = 70 or more
This is a value obtained by monitoring a persons blood sugar after eating the food. Your body will digest these foods slowly leaving you feeling full for longer and allowing you to eat less calories without feeling hungry. Adding a low GI food to a meal will lower the glycemic index of the whole meal.
Because the carb content of meat and fish is minimal, these foods have a low-GI value with minimal effect on blood glucose levels.
Below foods that do contain carbs, but are slow-release carbs, ie good carbs or low-gi foods.
