Maintain energy, keep your blood glucose stable, and keep a feeling of fullness longer with the Top Glycemic Impact Foods.
The Glycemic Impact Diet is based on research showing that both the grams of carbohydrate and grams of fiber in foods need to be considered in the way they impact blood glucose.
Because portion size is so critical to a healthy diet, we've created the Glycemic Impact Diet, which is personalized to each individual's needs based on his or her current weight, goal weight, and activity.
To maintain stable blood glucose, you should definitely avoid some foods -- white flour, refined sugars, white rice, fruit juice -- cross them off your list.
Equally important to a healthy diet is avoiding hydrogenated fats, excessive saturated fat, deep-fried items, and other "unnatural" foods.
Oh, and it's very important to remember, just because it's healthy, doesn't always mean you can eat "all you want," because calories count.
That's why your meal plan is created with your individual needs in mind.
You're different from your neighbor or friend so you have different energy needs.
1. Whole grains: grains with their hulls and germ intact including whole wheat, rye, barley, millet and oatmeal are full of fiber, protein and vitamins and minerals.
Breads and cereals with whole grain listed as the first ingredient are tops.
One slice of bread, one cup of cold cereal, or one-half cup cooked cereal or grain is one serving.
Suggested servings are generally three or more per day.
2. Green leafy vegetables: all vegetables are good, and the darker the color, the more the nutritional value.
One serving is one cup raw or one-half cup cooked.
Suggested servings are generally unlimited -- the more servings, the better.
