The GI diet is one of the most advised weight loss diet by dieticians. It is based on an index known as the Glycemic Index, where carbohydrates are measured on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the G.I. number in a food sample the better for your body because such a food is easily broken down and absorbed into the body. A G.I. of 60 and above is considered ideal.

The dieticians’ advice is therefore to make sure that in every meal there is a sizeable portion of such kinds of food. The diet’s premise is regular intake of food; diversify foods which must be high quality, less sugars, fats and sweets, lots of water and less of alcoholic drinks and caffeine, and foods high with fiber.

Such a diet works on the gastrointestinal system and ensures that unnecessary fatty wastes are not deposited in the colon.
