There is nothing especially mysterious about the low GI everybody is talking about lately.

The difference between foods with low and high GI is basically in the time needed for their digestion, if you want to simplify the things. Sugar will boost your energy really quickly, but you will probably be hungry very soon after consuming it. If you eat foods with low GI, you won't be hungry, because this type of food won't instantly rise your blood sugar levels, and it will make you feel full.

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.
