Low Glycaemic Load Diet (GL)

The Glycaemic index (GI)is concerned with carbohydrates based on their rating of glyacemic response (their conversion to glucose within the human body), but does not provide portion sizes. The Glycameic Load (GL) provides a guide to assist in providing a measure by weight / portion size of any single carbohydrate ingredient. This is to make it easier to control the intake of different foods.

The GL Diet considers both the type and the amount of carbohydrate consumed. The only thing that you need to be concerned with if you are on a GL diet is eating foods that are low in glycemic load. Controlling the GL controlls blood-sugar and fat burning. As with the traditional diet, these diets are a way of eating for life, that if followed correctly should maintain weight, blood sugar and energy levels. The level of carbohydrates recommended is higher than the high fat low carb diets, but it is still based on limiting carbohydrate intake.
