What Is the Glycemic Load Diet?
The glycemic load diet is a style of eating that aims to control glucose levels in the body, in order to control food cravings. Carbohydrates are the easiest form of fuel for the body to digest, but simple carbohydrates tend to raise glucose levels quickly and then drop levels fast. Fast drops in glucose levels cause cravings. The glycemic load diet includes foods that help to slow down digestion and glucose drops in order to eliminate the intense hunger often associated with fast dropping glucose levels.
