GI (Glycemic Impact) Diet
Rating: 9
Where to buy:

Description: This diet balances unrefined complex carbohydrates with lean protein and healthy fat. It stabilizes your blood sugar and helps increase energy while you loose weight.

Review:  This diet was very easy for me to follow.  I am a sweet nut and this diet allowed me to have my sweets but in amounts my body could handle.  By limiting my sweet intake to simple sugars and increasing my fiber intake I was able to regain energy but still reduce my calorie intake so I could loose weight.

I didn’t realize that food was put into 3 categories, low, medium and high index foods.  The GI Diet takes these 3 categories and includes them in each meal for a healthy balanced meal. I always felt full for a longer period of time.

This diet helps with those famous sugar highs and lows we all go through.  After being on this diet I noticed that my mood swings and irritability had started to subside and my energy level was going up. 

Once I reached my desired weight then I was able to maintain that weight on this diet.  Maintaining my weight has always been a big problem for me so that is a big plus.

As with any diet if you have medical situations with your health you should consult your Dr. before starting the GI Diet.

Criticism: This diet isn’t good for people who prefer to eat fewer meals or are looking for a diet that includes fast food on the menu.

Also this is a self-starting diet.  So if you need assistance in starting and maintaining this diet you should check out books or online diet places for help before starting this diet.
