Glycemic Impact Diet. The truth

The basic theory is that simple carbohydrates make you retain fat and raise your insulin levels. Learn more about the science. These diets are healthy, but they are highly restrictive, which creates a fundamental problem in the long-term. Most people fall off the wagon and end up gaining the weight back. I think we all know what that’s like. Thinking you can cut out sugar and white flour from your diet forever is a fantasy for most people.

The glycemic index and its recommendations to replace simple carbohydrates with complex ones is a great idea, but probably best followed in moderation for your own mental ability to sustain a lifestyle change. The bottom line is that decreased caloric intake and increased daily exercise is the most sensible and sustainable strategy.
