Glycemic Index - Low GI Diet               

 glycemic index

The Glycemic Index is a tool for anyone looking to increase energy, lose fat and just feel better. It is a valuable guide to good and bad carbohydrates. But should be used in conjunction with the right protein intake: see your daily protein requirement here

All carbohydrates convert to blood sugar, some fast, some slow, and the Glycemic Index measures the rate the conversion takes place.

Eating high-glycemic carbohydrates (ones that turn to sugary quickly) will hinder the fat burning process and will decrease energy levels.
Here's why: When you eat high-glycemic carbs, your blood sugar levels soar; when this happens your pancreas produces insulin. One of the roles of insulin is to keep your blood sugar levels regulated -but its also a storage hormone.
When your sugars go up, your body produces the storage hormone to clear the excess sugars. Those sugars end up in fatty tissue. Ultimately, your gaining fat, because internally, your telling your body to store.

here's how it relates to energy levels: When you overproduce insulin, you clear the sugars out of your blood-the end result is that you are now hypoglycemic. What does that mean? Blood sugar levels are lower than they should be, "you crash" or get lethargic, and now your body craves sugars.
So what next? You end up overeating , and the cycle continues

Formula 1 contains soy protein, dietary fibre, minerals and vitamins and fructose carbohydrates and  has a low Glycemic Index and thus produces a steady release of energy into the system.
It is also the best carbohydrate for weight loss

The Glycemic index...is readily available, and tracks virtually every brand of every food. Some of the more common entries are listed below. Each entry is compared to glucose, if the rate that glucose converts to blood sugar equals 100. Numbers lower than 100 mean that food converts to blood sugar slower than glucose-and in terms of your mission to increase energy levels  and burn body fat, alow GI index is better than a high GI index.

Are you getting the right protein intake? Cereals and toast for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, carbohydrate snacks through the day and pasta for dinner?!
