Simple Low Glycemic Index Recipes

By Nancy Sullivan


Everybody is talking about low GI foods. It's not really complicated to find food with low GI, and choosing it in your diet might ease your battle with extra pounds immensely. In Boston MA there are many specialized stores offering this type of food, but it can also be found in your nearest store as well. Low Glycemic index recipes don't have to be complicated, and can improve your health and the quality of life.

Foods that have a low glycemic index are digested for longer, so you do not feel hungry for a long time, yet you have enough energy to carry out your daily duties. In contrast, foods with high GI quickly increase blood sugar levels because they are digesting very quickly, but that energy does not last long, so you will quickly get hungry.

Some foods obviously have very high GI, for example sweets, candies, sweet juices, sugar and so on. Other foods are not so simple to recognize, for example potatoes, or different processed foods. The main rule is to pick natural food, the one that is not processed, that is rich with fibers, in short, the foods that need more time to digest, and spend more energy during this process.

High calorie foods such as olive oil must be used sparingly, in case you are concerned about your weight, of course. On the other hand, consuming only low GI food will result in more efficient weight loss, because your body will have to use more energy to process this food.

Zucchinis and eggplants with fresh cheese and garlic are easy to prepare and make the perfect meal for hot summer days. Wash the eggplants and zucchinis and slice them into thin, long slices. Season with salt and pepper and bake them for a short while on the grill. Mix fresh cheese, finely chopped garlic and a little yogurt. Spread it on each slice and roll it over. Sprinkle with olive oil and serve with fresh salad.

Whole grain pasta have low GI and makes you feel full. If you fry chopped garlic in olive oil, and add chopped canned tomatoes, dry tomatoes, anchovies, oregano, olives and chili, with some salt and pepper, you will get a perfectly tasty meal. With the addition of fresh seasonal salad, this will make you full and satisfied.

Brown rice with peppers and chicken breast stripes is one really simple recipe. You should slice the onions, chicken breasts, garlic, peppers, you can use yellow, red and green ones together, mushrooms, carrots and zucchini. Fry everything on some olive oil, season it with salt and pepper and in the end, add a little bit of lemon juice and soy sauce. Cook brown rice and serve it all together with salad.

When you want something sweet, here's a simple recipe. Remove the middle of a few apples. Mix one egg white, add two teaspoons of honey, two teaspoons of cinnamon, two teaspoons of stevia and one hundred grams of ground walnuts. Fill the apples and bake them in the oven.
