Low GI Diet ebook
A low glycemic index diet helps you to lose weight for 2 simple reasons:
- It helps you to manage your appetite
- It encourages the body to breakdown fat more often
Our guide to the Glycemic Diet Plan teaches you to eat great foods that will reduce your hunger, improve your health and actually help you to start losing weight.
There is more to healthy eating that just avoiding fried food and eating some fruits. Our bodies require a careful balance of specific foods to be truly healthy.
Our increased reliance on processed food, junk food and high energy carbohydrates with no nutrition, the so called “empty calories”, is partially responsible for the increasing weight and associated health problems.
Some call it the natural diet, others the caveman diet, but we give it the name it deserves – The Low GI Diet Plan eBook. Only $8.99

More on Low GI Diets:
DiOGenes Study shows that Low GI Diets Improve Health
Some new research has shown that eating a low GI diet is good for health, even if there is no weight loss. We are a great believer in the low GI approach to diet as a way to help manage weight, but it goes deeper than that.
The research was carried out by a team of scientists from all over Europe as a part of a the DiOGenes Study which is examining the relationship of diet, obesity and genetics.
The study examined the effects of five different diets on 932 overweight adults over a 26 week period following weight loss while on a low-calorie diet. The diets examined were a high protein diet, a low protein diet, a high glycemic index diet, a low glycemic index diet and a control (a balanced diet).
The main conclusion of the study was that low GI carbohydrates and also a low-protein intake may reduce inflammation and associated comorbidities in overweight/obese adults. So less protein and healthier carbohydrates (steamed vegetables, fruits, generally non-processed carbs) seems to improve health.
During the low-calorie phase of the study (before the comparison of the protein / GI diets) subjects lost on average 11.23 kg, which is about 25 pounds. One again, this is proof that a well-managed, low-calorie diet will always lead to weight loss in overweight people.
During the weight maintenance diets those consuming a low-protein diet and a high GI diet gained weight during the 26 weeks after weight loss.
The only diet to show further improvements in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (an indicator of inflammation and associated with high blood pressure) was the low GI diet.
The low-calorie diet at the start of the study also reported an improvement in health in all individuals, with reductions in blood lipids, triglycerides and cholesterol levels.
Overall it seems the consuming a low GI diet even after losing weight and getting fit is a good way to reduce blood pressure and inflammation that is often associated with diabetes, heart disease, cancer and arthritis.
White Bread And White Rice Make You Fat - University of Copenhagen Study
In Novemer 2010, the University of Copenhagen published the results of the “world’s largest diet study“. The good news is that many of the findings agree with what we have been saying for years.
Main findings of the Copenhagen Life Sciences Diet Study:
- Refined starch calories cause weight gain
- White bread and white rice are the worse
- A diet high in protein with lean meat and low-fat dairy and pulses is best
- Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables are still important
This diet study followed the eating habits of 938 adults and 827 children in Europe. The study revealed that the most important factor in managing weight is teaching people how to eat a healthy diet that is suitable to their needs. More often than not, people fail to follow a healthy diet.
Traditional recommendations tend to confuse people, resulting in over consumption of “empty carbohydrates”, which are energy dense and nutrient poor foods, such as bread, rice and pasta.
5 Weight Loss Diets Compared
Part of the study examined different weight loss diets to determine their effectiveness and long term benefits. The results of this part of the study are proof that calorie restricted diets work. First all 938 adults were set a calorie restrictive diet to lose weight. This was then followed by 5 different diets over a 6 month period to determine which diet works best at maintaining a healthy weight.
800 Calorie a Day Diet
All 938 overweight adults agreed to follow a strict 800 kcal/day diet (1 kcal = 1 calorie) for 8 weeks. On average each person lost 11kg (24 pounds) in those 8 weeks, or an average of 3 pounds per week. This is in line with our recommendations for cutting daily calories by 500 calories to lose 1 pound a week, or 1000 calories to lose 2 pounds per week.
The average sedentary man requires around 2350 calories per day, so 800 calories a day represents 1550 calorie reduction, or 3 pounds a week weight loss. See the daily calorie table for more on energy requirements.
The main point of this diet is that it proves once and for all that a calorie restrictive diet works every time. 938 adults lost weight, without exception. People who fail to lose weight while “on a diet” are cheating on their diets – they eat so many snacks that they increase their daily calories to the point that weight loss in no longer possible.
High Protein and Low GI Diet is Best
Of the various different diets that were studied, a diet that was high in protein and low GI was the only one that ensured that all dieters maintained their weight loss over a 6 month period.
People that were placed on a low protein / high GI generally gained weight, averaging around 3 pounds in total. This is the type of diet that is often recommended, i.e. a “low fat diet” that does not provide any guidance on consumption of bread or other energy dense foods.
Protein is vital for healthy growth and muscle development. It also helps you to feel full. When the body starts to digest proteins it releases a hormone that sends a signal to the brain to make you feel full.
Low GI foods take longer to digest and release less sugar into the blood, which means that less energy is stored as fat. Low GI also keeps blood sugar levels stable which reduces hunger pangs.
Raw and Cold Food
Another interesting finding was that raw foods and cold foods helped people the manage weight best. This is because the act of cooking foods makes it easier for the body to digest food, and allows the body to digest more. Digestion requires a lot of energy, but cooking aids the digestive system by breaking down the molecules before ingestion.
The best foods for this are really low GI salads with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Vegetables that are high GI, such as carrots, are also best eaten raw. Cooking carrots raises the GI level considerably, as does cooking pasta. Al dente pasta (slightly cooked, so still hard) is lower GI than cooked pasta. Potatoes are also best lightly cooked and eaten cold instead of hot. A table of GI foods can be found in our eBook.
Children Lost Weight Without “Dieting”
Children in the study did not follow the initial 800 calorie a day diet, however many were overweight. They just followed the same diet as their parents. Of the children than were also on the high protein / low GI diet, many lost weight without any other intervention, and without counting calories.
Before the diet 45% of the children were overweight, after the 6 months that figure dropped to 30% – this was without any calorie counting or additional exercise. These results were so groundbreaking that they were published in the American medical journal Pediatrics.
Recommendations
This research does not really change anything for us, as we have been recommending a low GI diet with lean protein sources for several years. Bruce Lee’s diet followed these rules, and in more recent years the rise of the “caveman diets” have also highlighted how natural foods help people to lose weight.
Charles Darwin’s Low GI Diet to ease IBS
In 2008 some newly discovered letters from Charles Darwin to his doctor revealed that he was well aware of the benefits of a carbohydrate controlled diet that is rich in protein to help digestive problems, long before Dr. Arkins made such a diet popular. Not only did Charles Darwin follow an high protein / low GI style diet, he could also have given some diet tips to Beyonce. In one letter Darwin sent to Dr. Henry Jones in 1866, he says:
“A little game or fowl twice a day and eggs, omelet or macaroni or cheese at other meals, and these I think suit me best” – Charles Darwin, 1866.
Charles Darwin suffered stomach complaints throughout his life, and like people today, had to resort to a method of trail and error to determine what he could, and could not, stomach. Like many people that suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), high-GI foods and refined carbs, where often a problem.
Darwin lived from 1809 to 1882, and during this time also increased his coffee intake to two cups a day. He would add ten drops of muriatic (hydrochloric) acid with cayenne pepper and ginger to help his upset stomach but flatulence remained a problem. This potion is similar to the Beyonce’s maple syrup with cayenne and lemon juice that helped her to lose weight before filming Dreamgirls.
Dr Jones also advised Darwin to ride ‘rough pony‘ so he could be “shaken once daily to make the chemistry go on better”. The naturalist wrote that this made him feel ‘much more vigorous and active’. One simple cure for consipation is to go for a long run or jog. Simply getting the body moving is sometimes enough to help things along.
Dr. Alison Pearn, of the Darwin Correspondence Project, points out that ‘He was prey to passing fads and preoccupied by health. His wife kept records of his weight and diet and he’d try anything he thought would help. On the advice of another doctor, he lay down with ice packs on his spine.’
The project, based at Cambridge University, was set up in 1974 and aims to find all the letters written by
and to Darwin. It can be found at www.darwinproject.ac.uk.
Greek Ionian Diet – A Mediterranean Low GI Diet
The Greek Ionian diet is another weight loss diet that claims to allow you to eat as much as you like. In a way it is a lot like Atkins or the Caveman diet. The name is derived from the Ionian Islands which are a small group of islands that run along the coast of Greece in the Mediterranean Sea. It is partly for this reason that we consider the Ionian Diet to be a modified version of the better know Mediterranean Diet.
The Low GI Connection
The Ionian weight loss diet is designed to control blood sugar levels which helps to control your appetite and works for the same reason that a low GI diet is very useful. The Ionian diet also promotes regular eating, with small meals every few hours, much like how professional athletes and bodybuilders eat.
This weight loss diet actually emphasises that low GI foods should be eaten. Low GI means it has a low glycemic index which is related to the amount of sugar is present. White bread is very high GI whereas green salads are low GI. Lets be clear – this is not a low carbohydrate diet or a high protein diet. Carbohydrates are encouraged, but only if they have low sugar levels.
The other advantage of low GI foods is that they are usually more complex foods on the cellular level, which means that they are harder to digest. Any food that is hard to digest serves two purposes:
- It takes longer to digest the food, so you feel full for longer
- It requires more energy to digest, meaning you increase your energy deficit.
The Greek Doctor Diet
The Ionian diet was thought up by Dr. Fedon Lindbergm who now lives in Norway but was born in Greece. It is for this reason that the diet is also called the Greek Doctor Diet. He is a specialist in obesity and hormonal disorders so is in a good position to educate us on the role of diet and insulin (a hormone) and our appetites and metabolism.
Natural Fats Are Encouraged on the Ionian Diet
Many foods contain healthy fats that are essential to a healthy body function. Many fats are required by the immune system and some improve muscular performance. You are encouraged to consume the following to increase healthy fat intake:
- Natural seeds and nuts
- Avocado
- Olives
- Olive oil
- Oily fish, such as salmon, sardines and mackerel
Limit Cheese, Butter, Alcohol and Coffee
This is the hardest part for some people, so cut out cheese, butter and booze. The reasoning for this is that cheese and butter are high in calories so even a little may delay the weight loss effect of the diet. Alcohol and coffee apparently increase the desire for sweet, sugary foods.
Live Longer and Lose Your Belly Fat on the Ionian Diet
Dr. Lindburg believes that following the Ionian diet will not only trim your belly fat, as weight loss quickly and naturally while following this diet, but it also will help you to increase your life expectancy. This does make sense, as research as shown that sugar raises heart disease risk and we know that too much saturated fat and processed food also increase cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer. So by following this diet you will really be living a healthier as well as lighter life.
Olive Oil Diet – High Fat, Low GI Diet Plan
So, what is the Olive Oil Diet? Is it really any different from the Mediterranean Diet, Greek Ionian Diet, Caveman Diet or Low GI Diet?
The Olive Diet is a bit different from the other diets, in fact there is one huge difference – bread is allowed. The Olive Diet allows you to eat bananas too. White bread is very high GI and bananas have a high sugar content too. They are both great energy sources and for this are not generally recommended to people looking to lose weight. More energy leads to more body fat.
Why An Olive Oil Diet?
Research from the The Miriam Hospital in Providence, RI, which was published in 2010, found that a diet high in olive oil helps people to lose weight faster that a low fat diet. The research focused on women with breast cancer, as if a woman puts weight on during breast cancer treatment there tends to be a higher risk of the cancer returning again later after treatment.
In their study they found that 8 out of 10 women who consumed a plant based olive oil diet lost more than 5% of their baseline weight. Of those on the low fat diet, only 31% managed to meet this weight loss target.
Olive Oil Diet is Better and Cheaper
The women in the study were later allowed to swap the olive oil diet for the low fat diet and almost all said that they preferred the high fat olive oil diet as it allowed them to eat better tasting food and the food was cheaper to buy.
The most important piece of research came from the follow up study. 6 months after the initial controlled diet the women who were on the olive oil diet managed to carry on with their diet plan and were either the same weight or had lost more weight. Most women on the low fat diet had put weight back on. It seems that the olive oil diet could be a good way to help manage and lose belly fat for many people, especially those that tried and failed to lose weight with low fat diets.
Dr. Mary Flynn’s Statement About the Olive Diet
“the women who enjoyed the olive oil diet said not only were they losing weight but they weren’t as hungry. That’s because they were advised to include fat in the form of olive oil or nuts at each meal, so they weren’t as likely to snack between meals, which can cause weight gain”.
Dr. Mary Flynn is the research dietician at The Miriam Hospital and the lead author of this study.
As well as the weight loss benefits the olive oil diet plan also resulted in lower triglycerides (a type of fat found in the blood) and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, or “good” cholesterol). High triglycerides and low levels of HDL have both been linked with increased cancer risk.

Thank you for your kind comment Ryan, I do strive to provide unbiased and most importantly correct information whenever possible.
Keep mentioning it to friends and colleagues,
Take care,
Jon.
I am post menopausal and insulin resistant from Stein Levanthal. Drs. say that I will never be able to lose weight at this age. What kind of diet that breaks hunger do you suggest. WW has a Purdue U anti-hunger breakthrough diet. The suggested diets include no chicken. I eat no beef or fish. So, it was not very useful. There is very little information for older people.
Thanks for any information.
M
I really cannot see how eating chicken and fish could be a bad thing. Better to avoid sugar and high GI foods I think. Are you able to walk daily? If so, walk for 30 minutes every morning, and eat a healthy diet, avoid sugary foods.
Motley Health,
I do not eat fish at all. I eat chicken, a little lean pork, and buffalo. I also eat the deer family if I can get good clean meat. I cannot walk here. I have extremely small arteries and veins in my heart and we moved to 1800 feet altitude. I can walk some at 0 altitude. But, now, I have to walk very short distances. I have the Lebed method of exercise and Richard Simmons (I can do about 15 minutes on a good day).
This constant hunger is only a problem for the last couple of years.
I tried adding coconut and almonds to breakfast and it seems to have helped. Perhaps, if I can alter the menus to have my acceptable foods, it will help with the extreme hunger.
Thanks,
Margaret
I am very interested in trying the Purdue University anti-hunger breakthrough plan. I read about the plan in Woman’s World (March 2010). I am wondering if there are any more sample daily menus besides the ones available in this issue. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank You! ~Kelli
I am slim but i have big stomach, how do i get flat tummy.Thanks.
You reduce calories, eat healthy, and exercise. A low GI diet will help manage your appetite while still providing the essential nutrition for intensive exercise.
Hey guys, so I am almost 15 and i weigh about 135 being 5’9″. Lately I have been so hungry all the time. I don’t have a good idea about what foods to eat to really reduce he amount of fat in my stomach. And when I do eat healthy, I can always see the size of my stomach increase right away. I exercise quite a bit for over an hour a day.. But still I am always hungry! Is there anything I can do to stop my hunger and feel healthy again?
Hi Jade. Two common tricks to reducing hunger are to eat some protein with each meal (it releases a hormone that suppresses appetite) and also to eat soup for lunch, as the volume of soup keeps the stomach filled for longer.
Or course, you are not overweight with a BMI of 19.9. You may benefit from a change of exercise regime, add more resistance training and bodyweight workouts into your routine.
I have been on a good exercise and diet plan for 3 months. I never drink sodas or have snacks at night any more. I really watch what I eat. However I can not get rid of this last 1″ pinch of fat around my waist. How to do this?
Hi Phillip. You may just need to increase exercise and see how that goes.
In the last 4 weeks I have only lost 1.7kgs..I am doing cardio twice a week, but I find that I am good on most days, can you please cofirm what I really need to do.
Hi Carol. Have you been reducing calories, eating low GI vegetables and more protein in addition to the exercise? How much exercise are you doing? 60 minutes of moderate to high intensity?
How many calories am i mean to be eating? I am doing 60 minutes moderate – high intesity?
That depends on how old you are. The Daily Calorie Table shows daily calorie requirements. To lose 1 pound a week eat 500 Calories less per day, for 2 pounds per week (about 1 Kg) 1000 Calories less. So on the days you are exercising you will be following the guidelines in the low or high activity column, and the other 5 days the sedentary column.
What is important is that you maintain a healthy protein intake and get those low GI carbs. This combination helps ward off hunger, control blood sugar and prevent muscle wastage.
I have an unusual condition that requires me to eat large amounts of salt (relatively). Even so, just about every time my blood is tested, I find I am sodium deficient!! This really seems to complicate most diets, which assume salt causes weight gain… Any answers??
Hi Patty, really you should get some advice from a registered dietician if you have a medical condition that impacts on your diet is such a way. Salt on its own does not cause weight gain though, but excessive salt is not healthy.
Thanks for the info, Marc!
For Margaret – I am 64, post menopausal and at least somewhat insulin resistant. I have had the problem of almost insatiable hunger. But I just lost 50 pounds in five months with the Ideal Protein diet. It’s probably available where you are. Their website will tell you. You could also try Medi-Fast, which you can acquire online. I do think I may have lost a bit too much for my age, but love not having to carry that weight!!!
Now I want to go slower, maintain my weight loss, and maybe slowly lose more! And that is why I am here! Good luck, Margaret!!
Hi,
I started exercising about 2 months ago and I’ve seen tremendous changes in my stomach however I really want abs. My stomach is actually flat but when I sit down sometimes it then gets fat. I really want as little fat on my stomach as possible. How do I do this? Do I really have to go on a low carb diet or is this for losing weight which is something I’m not trying to do.
Also when I started going to the gym I weighed 116. A month later I weighed 118. 3 weeks later and I now weigh 115. Is this good? My goal is to gain weight/muscle. Is this weight loss a result of me eating low carbs for the last 2 weeks. Or is it a sign that I’m losing fat or that I need more protein and calories. Help. Thanks.
Hi Jasmine, firstly, well done, sounds like you are making great progress. 2 months is a relatively short time, so certainly be patient and give yourself more time. Cutting down on high and some medium GI carbs could well be the way to go, more lean protein and more exercise and weight lifting will help to strip off more fat. Your weight fluctuations are normal, there is a lot going on with fat reduction, muscle growth and then other changes such as water retention etc. which can confuse readings. Focus on your goals – getting fit, getting slim and revealing that 6 pack. It is not possible to say what the cause of your weight changes are – has your waist reducing in circumference? Taking your own biometrics (body measurements) is the best way to determine if you are losing fat.
Hey, does this really work? Can we still eat chicken, meat, protein? Are slimfast shakes allowed?
Hi again Olga! Yes, it does. I have spoken with dieticians during my studies who believe that a low GI approach to eating is the best way to manage weight. The key is the effect on blood sugar levels and how it helps you to manage your appetite. The faster that food is broken down and digested the sooner you will feel hungry again. If you eat high GI food your body breaks it down quick, but it you do not need all the energy you store some as fat (blood sugar leads to insulin release which leads to fat accumulation). When you eat low GI food your body breaks the food down more slowly.
Love all this info! I’m in the same boat with trying to lose belly fat. After having 3 babies in 3 years, I piled on the pounds. I just lost 30 pounds in 3 months eating a 1200 cal/day diet and exercising for about 240 min. a week, mostly on the elliptical. I am now pretty thin, but still have excess belly fat which does not want to leave! Is it safe to drop below 1200 cals a day? I think I need to start making sure those 1200 cals are coming from low GI foods and not just empty calories.
Hi Motley
- Im George Age 27 current weight is 82kg I like to reduce it until 70kg
- Everyday for 15-30 minutes, I exercise as soon as I wake up before going to work and also continue exercise after work .
- I drink plenty of water everyday.. I just drink water…no juice, coffee, tea, etc
- usually my diet will be like this
for breakfast I eat 1 boiled egg, raisins, raw almonds, and raw cashew nuts
lunch/dinner – skinless chicken breast, vegetables
dinner/lunch – fish and vegetables, more raw cashew nuts and raw almonds
I usually cooked/steamed the chicken and fish using oven without oil..just using water
but the weight is still the same,
what did I do wrong? im not giving up yet.
I tried to increase the duration and intensity of my exercise but the weight just does not want to go
Help
Hi George, you diet looks good, you are lacking in exercise though. 15 minutes is not enough if you want to make some big changes to your body shape. Aim for 45-60 minutes a day instead.
Hi there, I am trying to figure out what I can do about to lose my belly fat, I have had three c-sections all 4 to 5 yrs apart, a hernia repair above the navel, and a hysterectomy back in the beginning of 2010, I work out daily with a high intensity w/ weights and a low carb diet but I can not seem to lose the belly fat, Can someone please give me some pointers on what I can do to help lose this belly fat?
Hi Cheryl, sounds like you are doing the right things, maybe increase the cardio workouts while maintaining the weight training and healthy eating. Low carb diet is only good if you are still getting some healthy carbohydrate and not over-consuming protein and fat.
Dear Sir
Is it advisable to drink some olive oil every day tom lose weight. Is eating chicken increase the weight.
Dear Sir
I am 42 years old. I have a problem of hair fall. The hair fall rate is very high. In which ever place I sit we can see a lot of hair in and around. More ever after taking bath when I wipe of my head with a towel I could see a lot of hair in the towel. Just two years back i got a lot of hair. Now I am almost tending to baldness. Can you suggest any ways of avoiding this hair loss problem.
Olive oil will not help you lose weight directly. Chicken is packed with protein so will help build muscle, if you are exercising. Otherwise it will help gain fat – just like any food eaten to excess.
Sorry, apart from being as healthy and stress free as possible, there is nothing you can really do.
Is walking reduces weight. More ever consuming green tea , ginger and cinnamon really reduce weight. Please reply.
Arumugam.V
Hi, walking does burn calories and there aid weight loss. See our walking plan for more advice on this topic. Green tea may help with weight loss, the jury is still out on that one. It does have some properties that seem to increase weight loss. However, without healthy diet and exercise, drinking green tea will make no difference.
