There is nothing especially mysterious about the low GI everybody is talking about lately.

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.

All foods containing high levels of sugar, processed foods, sweet juices, white bread and similar products are bad for your health. Some other foods, rich in fibers, fresh, with low percentages of sugar, foods that need more time to be digested, provide more energy and suppress hunger. Nuts, vegetable oils and similar products have high energy levels, but low glycemic indexes.

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.
