Let’s Get Down to Basics

Оглавление

OK, so now we know why following a low-GL diet is so good for weight control and general health, let’s get on with it! The basic templates (pages 15 and 19) will help you with balanced menu planning and shopping. We’ve based the templates on the basic principles of a healthy, balanced diet.

For instance, most of us know we should eat some oily fish every week, have five portions of fruit and veg every day and include dairy foods, which are a good source of calcium for healthy bones. The templates show you how to organize healthy low-GL eating by thinking about your day, deciding how much time you’ve got to prepare food, whether you’ll be eating on the run or eating out, and balancing your foods throughout the day. If you have meat for lunch, you probably don’t need meat again for dinner. Or if you struggle to eat a substantial breakfast, make sure you have a decent mid-morning snack to help you stay in the driving seat till lunch time.

The templates will give you the confidence to know that you are not only lowering your overall glycaemic load (GL) but also eating a good balance of food and nutrients at the same time.
