Low GI Jane Diet Plan - What?

Most people associate GI with the armed forces, such as GI Joe, GI Jane. In these cases it is short for Government Issue. But GI is also a term used to describe a tool used in weight management by nutritionists and dieticians.

In these situations GI is short for Glycemic Index. This is a scale which rates how much readily available sugar there is in food by measuring the speed at which blood sugar levels rise after eating.

High GI foods raise blood sugar (also called glucose) quickly, whereas low GI foods raise levels slowly.

Blood sugar has two important impacts on our body: 

1. it increases the released rate of insulin which facilitates sugar storage as fat and also in muscle
2. its rise and fall affects hunger

The index has been around for ages, Dr. Atkins was a fan of it, also many NHS dieticians use it to help overweight patients lose weight.

It works. It is a scientific tool that helps people to manage their diet in such as way that it aids weight loss.

Why it is not more popular is a mystery!

New Tips to Lose Belly Fat

We are always searching for the most efficient way to lose belly fat and this is possibly the best method discovered so far.

To lose belly fat quickly you need to combine intensive cardio exercise, weight training workouts and a protein rich, sugar free diet. Why?

Intensive Cardio Exercise: This burns fat faster than any other form of exercise. It is also the fastest way to get fit, and the fitter you are, the harder you can exercise, which means you burn more fat.

Weight Training Workouts: Weight training builds muscle and muscle is greedy. Muscle building requires a lot of calories, so when building muscle calories that would have been converted to fat are converted to muscle. Also, muscles require more energy just to maintain themselves, so if you are muscular your energy needs are higher - you have a faster metabolism. You literally burn fat (or utilise energy from food) quicker than people with less muscle mass.

Sugar Free Diets: The biggest cause of weight gain is sugar. Fat may have more calories per gram than carbohydrates, but most people eat way too many carbohydrates. Stomach fat is almost always caused by excessive sugar. So cut out sugar from your diet. Also, muscle needs proteins to grow. So to build the muscle to raise metabolism, consume more protein.

These are the basic rules to weight loss. To put them into action, follow these tips:

• Perform at least 2 weight training workouts per week
• Perform at least 3 intensive cardio sessions per week
• Eat eggs for breakfast
• Cut out all bread, all cereals, all fruit juice
• No more cakes, cookies, pasta, bread, soda, take away food, junk food or processed food
• Never eat more than you need
• Drink lots of water 
• Eat soup everyday - soup helps you feel full

These tips should help you lose weight faster.
