16 Jul 2009To lose weight eating healthy can sometimes feel impossible You so desperately want to lose those extra pounds, and the grapefruit diet (or avocado, or egg, or whatever) promises you will lose several pounds a week!
Don’t let yourself fall into that very trap! Risk is you end up on an everlasting road of yo-yo banting: losing weight quickly, only to gain it again just as quickly, followed by yet another attempt to lose it real fast. Somehow hopeless…
This is where the glycemic index comes in. Though not designed specifically to make you lose weight, it will most certainly make you do just that.
Why is that? It’s as simple as this: when you eat the way your body was designed to, by following the glycemic index, you will automatically stop being overweight.
As long as you make sure to choose foods with a low glycemic index value, there are no strict rules on what to eat or not. Of course, you can still not overeat, no diet in the world will make you lose weight while pushing way too much food into your stomach. But chances are that you will soon lose the urge to eat too much, since you will feel full and content in a whole new way.
Your body will turn into a strong, healthy one, that will be at your service for the rest of your life, simply by eating the good, nutritious food that will make you lose weight!
And as an extra bonus, you can still have a cake or a piece of chocolate now and then.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But this is how it works when you eat the way your body was designed to, way back in our history when our physical body evolved.
Our bodies have a hard time trying to manage our (to them) brand new habits of eating those fast carbohydrates that make our blood sugar levels bounce like a bouncing ball. They have simply have had no chance to adapt.
