Low GI Verses Low Carb Diets
The Glycemic index is a measurement of how much glucose increases after eating a specific food. It only applies to carbohydrates foods. Carbohydrates often used to be categorized as either simple (fruit sugar and table sugar) or complex (breads, pasta, grains). This was on the basis that simple carbohydrates tended to be absorbed faster than complex carbohydrates. Low GI diet and Low Carbs diets are concerned to a certain degree with fats.
Differences
1. Important difference between low GI diets and low Carbs diets are currently more widely accepted in the medical world. This is because low GI diets are more closely aligned to the healthy eating guidelines promoted by most Western government than low carbs diets. Healthy eating advice still follows the principles that around 60 percent of daily calories should come from the carbohydrates and that the only healthy diet is a low fat one .
