Understanding the Glycemic Index

The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels. Lower GI foods are digested slowly, providing steady energy without spikes.

Low GI (0-55)

Best for blood sugar control - slow, steady energy release

  • Stable blood sugar
  • Prolonged satiety
  • Better insulin response

Medium GI (56-69)

Moderate impact - consume in moderation with proteins/fats

  • Moderate energy release
  • Good with meals
  • Balance with fiber

High GI (70+)

Rapid blood sugar spike - limit consumption

  • Quick energy (sports)
  • Post-workout recovery
  • Use sparingly

Benefits of Low GI Eating

Transform your health by choosing foods that work with your body, not against it.

Stable Blood Sugar

Low GI foods release glucose slowly, preventing spikes and crashes that lead to cravings and fatigue.

Weight Management

Feel fuller for longer, reduce overall calorie intake naturally, and support sustainable weight loss.

Heart Health

Lower cholesterol levels, reduced inflammation, and improved cardiovascular markers.

Mental Clarity

Steady glucose supply to the brain improves focus, concentration, and cognitive function.

Sustained Energy

No more afternoon slumps - enjoy consistent energy throughout the day.

Diabetes Prevention

Reduce insulin resistance and lower your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
