The term, Low GI (Glycaemic Index) refers to foods containing carbohydrates and the affect they have on blood glucose levels after they have been eaten. The index measures how fast a carbohydrate will take to trigger and raise your blood sugar levels and that in turn determines your waistline. As a rule of thumb, the more processed and refined the carbohydrate is, the higher the GI. Products like white bread being a prime example and a definite NO NO!
