Easy To Prepare 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.

All foods containing high levels of sugar, processed foods, sweet juices, white bread and similar products are bad for your health. Some other foods, rich in fibers, fresh, with low percentages of sugar, foods that need more time to be digested, provide more energy and suppress hunger. Nuts, vegetable oils and similar products have high energy levels, but low glycemic indexes.

Of course, if you want to lose a few pounds, you still have to pay attention to the nutritional value of the foods you consume or the number of calories. However, choosing a low glycemic index will speed up your weight loss process while you will not be constantly hungry and you will have more energy.

One of the simple and easy recipes, especially for these hot summer evenings, is this one. Slice a few zucchinis and one or two eggplants and grill them, seasoned with salt and pepper- Put them aside. Mix yogurt, cottage cheese, chopped garlic and a pinch of salt. Spread it on grilled vegetables and roll the slices. Add a few drops of a good olive oil and serve with seasonal salad.

Pasta made from whole grains with tomato sauce and garlic is a very simple dish you will prepare quickly. Cut a few garlic cloves and fry them on olive oil. Add chopped pelati tomatoes from the can, several chopped dried tomatoes, chopped olives, capers, little oregano and crushed anchovies. Add salt, pepper and chili and pour sauce over cooked pasta.

Brown rice with chicken and vegetables is a very delicious meal that you will easily prepare. Cook brown rice. Cut the onions and mushrooms into thin slices, make thin strips of carrots, peppers, chicken, and zucchini, and cut garlic into tiny cubes.
