Burn Fat Fast Article: More Info On The Glycemic Index

Definition of the glycemic index:
Not all carbohydrate foods are created equal, in fact they behave quite differently in our bodies. The glycemic index or GI describes this difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. Choosing low GI carbs - the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels - is the secret to long-term health reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss.

The glycemic index range:

Classification G.I. range Examples
Low G.I. 55 or less most fruit and vegetables (but not patato), bastami rice, oats …
Medium G.I. 56-69 sucrose, Mars bar
High G.I. 70 or more corn flake, baked potato, jasmine rice, white bread

A low G.I. food will release energy slowly and steadily and is generally appropriate for everyone. A high G.I. food will provide a rapid rise in blood levels and is suitable for energy ricovery.

Just take a look at this chart for comparaison between high and low G.I. food:

What are the beneficts of eating low G.I. food:
Eating a lot of high GI foods can be detrimental to your health because it pushes your body to extremes. This is especially true if you are overweight and sedentary. Switching to eating mainly low GI carbs that slowly trickle glucose into your blood stream keeps your energy levels balanced and means you will feel fuller for longer between meals.

Eating Low G.I. foods …
- Help people losing and controlling weight
- Decrease the insuline resistance (increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin)
- Reduce the risk of heart disease
- Improve diabetes control
- Reduce hunger
- Prolong physical endurance
- Help re-fuel carbohydrate after exercise

How to switch to low G.I food:
All reffined foods have an high glycemic index. For instance, all products made with white flour like white bread have a high glycemic index because the shells of the seeds is taken off. In this case, the digestion is quite quicker. The level of glucose in the blood increases quicker and the secretion of insulin is quite higher and the fat storage is therefore higher.

For instance, white bread: 70 full bran bread: 50 full barley bread: 40

The deal here is to switch high G.I. carbs with low G.I. carbs:
- For breakfast, use cereals based on oats, barley
- Eat bread with wholegrains, stone-ground flour
- Reduce the amount of potatoes
- Fruit and vegetable with a low G.I. index. You have to privilege salad, tomatoes, green vegetables and for fruits for instance appels, stauwberries and to avoid grapes
- use bastami rice
- Enjoy pasta made with brown flour
- Eat plenty of salads with vinaigrette dressing
N.B. Little trick to decrease the amount of oil in your vinaigrette dressing, you make 50 oil/50 water

P.S. next step is to deliver here a new message with a large list of foods with their own glycemic index (G.I.)

Burn Fat Fast

The Diet method according to the blood group

Burn Fat Fats

The diet method according to the blood group by the Doctor Peter J. Adamo

Peter J. Adamo introduced a theory according to which it would have there 4 dieds adapted to our blood group.

It associates, indeed, the mode with the apparation of the blood group in the history of the man.

With the base, there were not 4 blood groups. But the first men (approximately 40.000 years before J.C.) only the group O. These people were hunters.

For the group O:
An hyperproteinic food and an intensive physical activity are advised.
Therefore, much of meats and fish. On the other hand, the cereal and dairy products are not advised, quite simply because agriculture was not developed yet when this group appeared.

For the group A:
The group A was identified and associated to the first man farmers, it is thus important to eat natural foods, in particular with cereals and vegetables.
The people of group A must privilege a vegetarian mode.

For the group B:
This group appeared between 15.000 and 10.000 before J.C. in a community of nomads originating in Causase and Mongolia.
It is advised: exercises moderated such as walk and swimming.
It is the only group which authorizes the consumption of a large variety of dairy produces. Are advised: green vegetables, meat, eggs...
But are in particular disadvised: the chicken, corn, groundnuts and lenses.

For the group AB:
Group AB appeared in 20th century after J.C., it is most recent but also rarest.
The product disadvised are: red meats, kidney beans, seeds, corn and wheat.

To summarize:
- a loss of 500 grams per day
- a short duration
- adequate Contribution of proteins, rock salt and vitamins and not involving risks
- Like many dieds, with the resumption of a traditional food, one notes many weight recoveries for many people.
- It does not seem credible, to see whether there is of true scientific studies going in the good direction.
