High GI level in which the GI score comes about 70 or more, a medium GI level that is from 56 to 70 and a low GI level that is from 0 to 55. The sample obtained is then averaged for ten people and then the approximate value is generated. This chart is beneficial for the people to choose the right diet.

How Low GI diet work:

A low GI diet by the virtue of their properties like slow digestion and slow absorption, there is a gradual rise in the blood sugar level and insulin level. Due to this there is less secretion of glucagons. Thus excessive production of glucose is avoided and the energy required by the body is obtained by timely release of the glucose from the Low GI products. Also it promotes growth hormones that take the energy from the stored body fats, as there is no excess glucose available. Scientific studies have proven this fact that a Low GI diet is beneficial to the health of an individual and there are no further side effects by taking low GI diet. As compared to High GI diet where there is an instant release of high level of glucose that are ultimately stored in the body in terms of fats. A pyramid related to low GI diet can be explained as usage of fruits and vegetables at lower and preliminary level, usage of unrefined grains and cereals at middle level and usage of refined grains, potato and other related products can be used at higher level.
