How to apply a Low GI Diet ( It's all about balance)
Low GI Diet means eating smart, choosing Low GI foods.

Low GI Diet is nothing but swapping high GI carbs for low GI ones in the same group, Choosing right carbs to eat. For example, choose Porridge or Muesli  instead of Corn Flakes. For achieving a successful Low GI Diet, simply follow these tips:

   meal. All carbohydrates that you eat do not need to be low GI.

   low or intermediate GI foods whenever possible. This will decrease the
   average GI of the meal.
