First let discuss what low glycemic is before we decide if
it will help you with your weight loss. Low glycemic foods
are foods that when consumed do not dramatically elevate
your blood sugar levels. Eating foods that are high
glycemic will dramatically increase your blood sugar
levels. Your body starts to promote the fat storage of
these sugars when you eat high glycemic foods because your
insulin level increases.
When women want to know or ask what foods to eat so they
can be skinny they are essentially looking for foods that
aren't going to promote the storage of fat. To become low
glycemic a food needs to have a mixture of nutrients, be
lower in overall sugars and contain a fair amount of fiber
with each serving.
For example a piece of white bread is a high glycemic food
because it consists of processed and refined flour. A
piece of whole-grain bread would be a lower glycemic food
because it contains a good amount of fiber and other
nutrients that would slow down the absorption of your food.
You should choose foods that are either a good source of
fiber or contain some protein and fat so that it is a lower
glycemic food choice. Though you also need to look at the
big picture and look at what else you are eating for that
meal since it is all digested at the same time.
When deciding on a meal you want a balance of a lean
protein source, 1-2 servings of vegetable and/or fruit and
1 serving of a higher fiber whole-grain carbohydrate food
choice. When eating balanced like this your total glycemic
level will be lower, which means your blood sugar levels
don't rise as high and your body promotes fat usage for
energy instead of fat storage.
When you eat a lean protein source at your feeding
opportunities you are also releasing a hormone called
glucagon that is the opposite of insulin and counteracts
the effect of insulin by promoting the release of fat to be
used as energy instead of storing it.
So my answer to women who want to know what foods to eat to
be skinny I would say plenty of foods can as long as you
eat them at the right time and in the correct portions.
The best way to be skinny is to eat a lean protein source
at every feeding opportunity and a vegetable that is a good
source of fiber. Stay away from the high sugar soft drinks
or fast foods items that are high in fat.
If being skinny is your goal or you can't lose the weight
to fit into that dress then you also have to make sure you
incorporate exercise into your program. Nutrition alone
may work, but your progress will be much slower.
Incorporating the eating principles above along with an
exercise program will have you looking stunning in that
amazing dress fast!
