And don’t take ANYTHING without your doctors approval.

GI or GL Diet. What is the Difference and Which is Better for Weight Loss?

Tracy — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:25:29 +0000

Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:

Question:
GI = glycemic index

GL = glycemic load

Answer: First off, remember to check out my diet plan here: Tracys Weight Loss Now, on to your question…The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggersâthe higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low.

The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn't tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food's effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn't a lot of it, so watermelon's glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.

Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI.

You need to use both for weight loss as there are many foods that contain the similar figures. I use a combo of both for reference. It can get really scary when there are so many diet rules out there but use your commonsense and you can't fail. I try to follow LOW GI/GL, Low Fat, Low sugars and depending upon time of the day LOW CARBS (after 4pm).

Hope this info helps and good luck!

Answer: First off, remember to check out my diet plan here: Tracys Weight Loss Now, on to your question…The most important thing by far is take your thyroid medicine daily.

Can Daily Exposure to Bright Light Help Weight Loss - is There Any Evidence or Theory That It Might Work?

Tracy — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 07:26:25 +0000

A weight loss question that should definitely interest you all this week

Question: Obesity seems more common in higher latitudes where sunlight is relatively weak. Also I have noticed that I lose weight during summer holidays. I'd like to know if exercising outdoors in bright light might do me more good (in terms of weight control) than exercising indoors in relatively dim light. Is there some kind of hormone effect connecting light and appetite levels, or some other plausible mechanism?

Answer: First off, remember to check out my diet plan here: Tracys Weight Loss Now, on to your question…You are actually asking two questions.
1.) Q: Can sun exposure help with weight loss? A: YES - this is due to the affects of vitamin D production and ultimatley hormone regulation.

2.) Q: Why are people in higher latitudes heavier? A:Besides the fact that they spend less time outside because of the cold winters, the issue also stems from evolution. People who's ancestors come from colder climates tend to have more trunk weight. This was so that they could protect the vital organs by insulating them with fat during cold months. People in warmer climates tend to have their weight more in the extremities. Phillipines and the islands. This is to keep the fat insulation away from the body organs so they don't overheat.

Great question!
