We have identified the most popular food products available to us and divided them into two groups: 1) With a low glycemic index – does not harm health; 2) With a high glycemic index – consume in small quantities. Based on these lists, everyone can easily evaluate their current diet and draw up a new, healthy one.
Naturally, foods that can help you maintain your weight and health include vegetables, fruits, meat, and protein. And products that cause harm are most often subject to additional processing – semi-finished products, various pastries and desserts, starchy vegetables. Another significant observation: the products of the first group usually do not have a long shelf life, the products of the second group can be stored for quite a long time.
This approach, of course, is significantly simplified, but in no way inferior to the diets of Atkins, Sears, Hellers and Aids. After examining the entire list, you can easily determine which products you should pay attention to when going to the store, and which ones to bypass at a great distance. So that the food is not “monotonous”, dry, change the menu every few days, diversify it with exotic fruits.
