What to eat on a diet to stay low glycemic

Well, the basis of a low glycemic diet requires eating fruits and vegetables that are low glycemic. Simple enough and on my blog I list these in total but to give you an idea I´ve listed 16 great foods below that are low glycemic and can be enjoyed even if losing weight is your key objective. The only fuits and vegetables that don´t qualify as far as being low glycemic, are watermelon,apricots,bananas,cantaloupes,mangoes, papayas,paw paw, raisins and sultanas. All of these are fine in moderate amounts but if you are on a weight loss plan to lose excess fat avoid them completely. All legumes are low (most beans) as are green vegetables, most yellow and orange vegetables slip into the moderate range index unless some of them are eaten in their natural state, except pumpkin which is high. Regular readers of my articles will already know this, of all the vegetables potatoes are the worst on the glycemic index. If you want to lose fat, stop eating potatoes period. Snacking is not sneaking food, it is good to eat. Stop dieting and eat on a diet, start living! fit, nuts and seeds are all great for snacking as far as  glycemic indexing is concerned to lose fat. Nuts contain protein amino acids which your body need to succeed in becoming lean and eaten moderately in their natural state are great between meal snacks because of their kilojule and fat content. Since ALL sugars are carbohydrates, dairy products are listed on GI charts. Remember that you need good fats and protein but consume in moderation.
