Gi Diet Plan
Focusing on a Low-gi Diet Plan
Making positive, healthy lifestyle changes and finding effective weight loss solutions does not necessarily mean you have to cut back on food. Simply eating foods higher in soluble fiber can make a difference and many people are embracing this concept with open arms. Therefore it comes to no surprise that diets based on Low Glycemic Index have become a hot topic among celebrities, athletes and regular folks who want to lose weight, or are concerned about their health.
Glycemic Index or GI is a ranking system for carbohydrates, and how quickly they will burn and metabolize in your body. It is based on their effect on blood glucose levels and compares available carbohydrates in individual foods. Subsequently, a Low Glycemic Index diet focuses on eating foods that are more slowly digested by the body. For instance, instead of eating white bread, you would eat whole wheat bread and white pasta could be served, topped with some cheese or a meat sauce, which would also slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Following a Low-Glycemic Index diet lowers cholesterol, and clears up acne. It will help prevent macular degeneration and may decrease the risk of developing breast, colon and lung cancer. A lower glycemic response is often linked to a lower insulin demand, and a better long-term blood glucose control, which is quite valuable to diabetics. People suffering from obesity may also benefit greatly from a low GI diet. Studies have shown that eating low GI foods increase a feeling of fullness. Indeed, being satisfied and not feeling hungry will subsequently result in reduced energy intake, and the stabilization, or reduction of body weight.

ANSWER:
If you can do it, that’s a good start. You want to get to at least 120 minutes of cardio each week, and that schedule has 150. The two sessions of resistance training are also a good start, but three or four times a week, with a two- or three-day split would be an improvement.
