Why is breakfast so crucial? There's a reason it is often the most crucial meal of the day.

What is the Glycemic Index Gi ?
You might hear folk talk about eating low carb or carb free diets as though carbohydrates are bad for you. The truth is that carbohydrates are an crucial food group; but not all of them are created equal and they can affect us quite differently depending on they type they are. Our bodies break down all the carbohydrates we eat into simple sugar for energy. But the rate at which they break down varies; and the Glycaemic Index Gi is a way to measure and compare this rate. The Gi describes this difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels.
Choosing lower threshold Gi carbs e.g. unprocessed wholegrains produces only little modifications in blood glucose and insulin levels and is the secret to long term health, reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes, and is the key to weight loss. Low Gi foods also take much longer to break down and keep you feeling really satiated for longer. High Gi carbohydrates on the other hand, are often refined or sugary, break down really quickly, and raise our blood glucose and insulin levels in an unhealthful way.
