What's the skinny on........The G.I. Diet?
The G.I. Diet
Based on the theories of the Glycaemic Index of foods, this is the must do diet of the moment.
So what's the story? Is it the miracle solution millions of overweight people have been praying for?
Well, the truth is that there are no miracle solutions, but as eating plans go, the principles of the G.I. are balanced and based on reasonable nutritional science. However, the whole story with any healthy eating plan is never based on one principle alone and most dietitians will have been incorporating the basics of G.I. or, more appropriately, Glycaemic Load into healthy eating and weight management advice for some time; other considerations such as low and healthy fat, correct portions and sufficient fruit, veg and micronutrients remain important.
There is a proliferation of G.I. recipe books, diet books, tapes and e-diets as the scientific information and even the term G.I. are not protected- i.e. anyone can write a G.I. diet book without infringing on copyright.
The I.N.D.I. has an information sheet to download free of charge.
