I get asked A LOT about my diet and I love this question because I’m super confident in my eating method. 

I stick to a low-glycemic diet.  

It helps you control and lower your weight by minimizing spikes in your blood sugar and insulin levels.

The overall key is to choose low-GI foods since they are slowly digested and absorbed, causing a slower and smaller rise in blood sugar levels.

All foods containing glucose, fructose or sucrose (various forms of carbohydrates or sugars) can be classified as high GI, moderate GI or low GI. 

 

The glycemic index values of all foods range from 0–100:

• High GI = 60 to 100

• Medium GI = 60 to 35

• Low GI = below 35

 

It’s very easy to eat low-GI there are just a few 

simples principles I stick by.

Here are my seven principles

1. Completely eliminate partially hydrogenated fats (trans fats), which are in fast food and packaged foods.

2. Eat non-starchy vegetables & fruits (Some fruits like bananas, mangoes, and papayas tend to be high-GI).

3. An obvious, stay away from white potatoes and refined-grain products, such as white breads and white pasta. 

4. Eliminate concentrated sweets and instead sweeten things with Stevia or Monk Fruit (both don’t spike blood sugar). 

5.  Eat plenty of veggies, proteins and healthy fats.  

6. Have three moderately sized meals and one or two snacks each day. 

7. And most importantly, use the glycemic index chart to help you choose the right type of foods.

Eating low-GI has helped me with fat loss, stabilized moods, and reduced cravings. 

It’s definitely worth a try 🙂
