What is the Glycemic Index?
So what is the glycemic index anyway? We’ve seen it talked about on TV with the Nutrisystem diet, and it seems like it’s all the rage in weight loss.
You can eat breads, pasta, pizzas, and more and still lose weight? …How is this possible?
Well, the glycemic index refers to the rate at which our body breaks down food and burns energy.
Foods that are high in the glycemic level burn through your body quickly and leave you feeling hungry sooner. Low glycemic foods burn more slowly and help you to eat less because you feel less hungry.
To make it easy to stay on a low glycemic diet, we’ve got printable charts for you.
