Low glycemic foods can be a great way to push weight loss forward, especially when teamed with a low fat diet plan. Why? Because if you look at the food pyramid and how much from each food group you should be eating, eating foods that are low on the glycemic index along with foods that are low in fat is exactly how you should be eating anyway! It is a perfect match.
This being said there are some things to take into consideration if you plan to make this into a personal diet plan:
1. All low glycemic foods are not equal. Try to stay away from processed foods that are lacking in nutrients and amino acids. Steer toward fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts and oats rather than quick-oats or canned goods.
2. All low-fat foods are not equal. Again, stay away from processed diet snacks (which probably are not low on the GI scale anyway). If you are creating a low-fat diet plan, remember that low-fat does not mean that a food is more healthy.
3. To restate the above two points: You do not have to count calories, but try to make all of your calories count! Don't just munch on pretzel because they are low in fat, choose a food instead that is low fat plus low GI.
4. Know what a serving size is. Just because a food choice is low glycemic and low fat does not mean you can eat as much as you want. Try to stay within a healthy range of serving size.
4. And last, add your lean low-fat protein and low-fat dairy in accordingly.
This is nature's diet. A way to lose weight, feel good with no sugar "crashes" mid-afternoon, and something that is easy to stick to, with as much variety as you want. It is also a diet of longevity. A healthy diet plan equals less chance for disease and ailments and early mortality.
