Q 1。 What are the benefits of low GI diet to lose weight?

A: Because the cholesterol content in low GI foods is low, the risk of hypertension and diabetes is reduced, and the burden on the kidneys is also reduced. We lose weight through a low GI diet and don't call for reducing fat intake, so we don't have to worry about the time of malnutrition like a low calorie diet.

Q2。 How to define the low GI value of food?

A: Generally speaking, it is determined according to the influence of carbohydrates in food on the rise and fall of blood sugar. Substances containing hydrogen, oxygen and carbon such as glucose, sucrose and starch are components of carbohydrates. Those with a GI value below 60 belong to low GI, while those with a GI value of 60-85 belong to medium level, and those with a GI value above 85 belong to high GI.

Q3。 What is the GI of food?

A: "GI" is the abbreviation of Glycemic Iddex, which means "glycemic index". It refers to the relative ability of different foods to improve blood sugar speed when the sugar content is the same.

Q4。 What is the principle of slimming with low GI diet?

A: Now we can look at the digestion chart of food:

Eating food with high GI value->; Blood sugar rises too fast-> A large amount of insulin is secreted->; Accelerate fat accumulation-> fat

Eat low GI food-> Food with balanced nutrition->; Blood sugar rises slowly-> Whether insulin secretion is stable-"; slender

If you want to be thin, follow the three principles of low GI.

The first principle of slimming: stay away from high GI food.

The second principle of losing weight: consider other factors that affect the GI value of food

A. The higher the cellulose content, the lower the GI value, because it is not easy to be digested, and more intake is beneficial to the body.

B. processing method and manufacturing time. The more cooked the food, the longer the processing time, the easier it is to be digested, and the higher the GI value.

C. food also contains other ingredients. If the food itself has a low GI value, but contains other ingredients with high GI value, it is also not suitable for slimming.

The third principle of losing weight: low calorie and balanced diet.
