Lose weight without feeling deprived? What if the solution was on our plate? Let's talk about low-glycemic index (GI) diets, an approach that's gaining more and more followers. But what exactly is it? Is it really effective?
👉 What is the glycemic index?
The glycemic index measures how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood sugar levels. Think of your body like a car. The GI is like the type of fuel you use. High-GI foods, like white bread or soda? That's fuel that gets you going, but then leaves you completely flat.
Low GI foods, like legumes or dark chocolate (with at least 70% cocoa), are like a steady fuel that keeps you going smoothly.
👉 Why does it work for weight loss?
It's simple:
- No more uncontrollable cravings! Stable blood sugar means goodbye to 4 p.m. sugar cravings.
- You stay fuller longer, without feeling deprived.
- Fewer insulin spikes mean less fat storage. Your body thanks you!
👉 How to get started concretely?
No need to be a Michelin-starred chef. Here are a few simple tips:
- Choose whole foods: brown rice, quinoa
- Choose lean proteins: fish, eggs
- Add fiber to every meal: green vegetables, chia seeds
- Limit refined sugars
- Focus on good fats: avocado, nuts
