Easy To Prepare Low Glycemic Index Recipes

By Nancy Sullivan


There is nothing especially mysterious about the low GI everybody is talking about lately. Some food have higher GI, some have lower, and you should simply choose the food with lower GI if you want to live healthier and feel full longer. This might help you lose weight as well. All low GI food can be found in Boston MA. Low glycemic index recipes might help you getting some new ideas for your tasty, healthy meals.

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.

Some foods obviously have very high GI, for example sweets, candies, sweet juices, sugar and so on. Other foods are not so simple to recognize, for example potatoes, or different processed foods. The main rule is to pick natural food, the one that is not processed, that is rich with fibers, in short, the foods that need more time to digest, and spend more energy during this process.

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.

Here is one easy to prepare recipe, really tasty and refreshing. Simply slice zucchinis and eggplants, season the slices with pepper and salt and grill them. In one bowl combine salt, cottage cheese, yogurt and chopped garlic. Spread this mixture on slices, roll them up and sprinkle them with good quality olive oil. These rolls taste great with fresh tomatoes, red peppers and cucumbers, one really great summer dinner.

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. Fry it all together on olive oil, add salt and pepper, a little soy sauce and lemon juice. Serve with cooked brown rice.

When you want something sweet, here's a simple recipe. Remove the middle of a few apples.
