Читать книгу The GL Diet Made Easy: How to Eat, Cheat and Still Lose Weight - Nigel Denby - Страница 22

The GL Diet has been shown to reduce food intake and body weight in children. Having a low-GL breakfast reduces the amount of food eaten for lunch, in both normal and overweight children. This could contribute to a significant reduction in overall energy intake and help combat the rising levels of obesity among children.

A low-GL diet has also been shown to be more effective than a low-fat diet in reducing BMI (body mass index) and body fat in obese adolescents.

‘Yesterday I collected my two girls from school to find my eldest in a terrible state. She was white as a sheet, slightly clammy and shaking. It turned out that they’d had the biggest “dorm feast” ever, with the most sweets and fizzy drinks on record, a classic case of sugar overload. Needless to say, she wasn’t very nice to be around – but two low-GL meals later, she’d come back down to earth and actually managed to sleep through the night. Thank you, Nigel, Tina and Deborah, for giving me the knowledge to cope with this kind of blood-sugar overload – it’s making a huge difference to our lives.’
