Low GI

Do you find low carbing/ no carbing too hard to achieve? Do you still want to eat everything around you? If you barely eat are you real tired? Are you deteremined to get that weight off? Do you want to chose a healthy living lifestyle with more choices? Well Maybe.. the choice your looking for is LOW GI dieting.

GI stands for glycemic index. GI shows the effects of carbs on our blood sugar levels. When you are chosing food from the low GI scale you are chosing carbrohydrates that are breaking down much slowly releasing glucose into our bloodstream over a period of time. With this type of diet I have read many success stories of women that overcame PCOS. This diet is more or less the diet to use to avoid picking foods that make your blood glucous levels to surge rapidly( cuzing symptoms, weight gain, mood swings).

What has been created is a low glycemic index scale that ranks foods we eat and enjoy. The foods best for us rank 55 and under on the index. These are the complex carbrohydrates that maintain to keep us fuller for a longer period of time which also helps with weight loss because NO MORE BINGE eatting, You're full! For us women with PCOS they reduce the risk of us developing type 2 dieabetes, and help us shed off the unwanted extra pounds.

Sooo, what are some food your enjoy? Well I enjoy.....
apples                                     GI-36
banana bread                          GI- 47
whole wheat speghetti              GI-37
oranges                                   GI- 43
macaroni                                 GI- 45
tomato                                    GI- 15
tomato soup                            GI- 38
cherries                                   GI- 22


And.. most non starchy veggies have a GI of 15.

Now which foods are cuz surges in our blood sugar levels?
HIGH GI FOOD/ FOODS TO AVOID!
Instant Rice                           GI-91
Baked Potato                        GI-85
Instant Mashed Potatos        GI-83
Bagel                                     GI-72
French Fries                         GI-76
Mashed Potatos                   GI-73
Dougnuts                              GI-75
White bread!!                       GI-79
Watermelon                          GI-72
Honey                                   GI-73

As you can see the low carbing/no carbing one I chose to follow is very much like this both do not recommend white bread, french friends, any form of potatoes and rice. The difference is LOW GI gives you much more of a variety with few limitations. Also with the low carbing/ no carbing you are turning your body into a fat burning machine because your stalkin up on Protein.

Remember ladies there are 3 different rankings food can get LOW GI, MEDIUM GI, AND HIGH GI.
The ones we are really trying to avoid are the HIGH GI foods. Some foods that make the medium list include. Popcorn, Special K, brown rice, Icecream, Oatmeal cookies, whole wheat bread, and sweet potatoes although these are not as good as the LOW GI foods you may still want to put the in your diet.

This healthy life style choice maybe the one for you. It may be good to say I wanna low GI as a new years resolution. Hey you could even have just no carbing days and low GI most of the time. The decision is up to you on which way you want to go about changing your lifestyle.

Now my question to you ladies is..... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
