A Few Simple And Easy 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.

Sweets, juices, potatoes and white flour, sugar and similar products have high GI. High-fiber foods, whole grains, fresh vegetables, but also olive oil, nuts and similar foods have low levels of GI, suppress hunger, and provide enough energy to last longer. This means that your body uses energy to digest these foods, so you can also regulate your body weight.

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.

Here is one easy to prepare recipe, really tasty and refreshing. Simply slice zucchinis and eggplants, season the slices with pepper and salt and grill them. In one bowl combine salt, cottage cheese, yogurt and chopped garlic. Spread this mixture on slices, roll them up and sprinkle them with good quality olive oil. These rolls taste great with fresh tomatoes, red peppers and cucumbers, one really great summer dinner.

Whole grain pasta with spiced tomato sauce is another practical and tasty recipe you can easily prepare. Fry garlic slices in olive oil, add chopped canned tomatoes, anchovies, capers, chopped olives, salt, pepper, oregano and chili powder. Serve with cooked whole grain pasta and salad.
