Glycemic Index of Foods:
"Foods that produce high levels of blood sugar are called high glycemic index (GI) foods. When your diet consists of predominately of these foods, your body responds by producing higher levels of insulin than it would if you were to eat lower GI foods. When insulin levels are high, your body not only converts blood sugar into energy, but also stores extra energy as fat. Thus, when insulin levels are high, you store more fat; when insulin levels are normal you burn fat more efficiently.
Additionally, a diet that consists primarily of hihg GI foods can lead to carbohydrate cravings and an overall increase in appetite-- potentially resulting in unwanted weight gain. These foods can cause large fluctuations of both blood sugar and insulin levels, leading to a vicious cycle of overeating.

Nothing beats healthy eating.
Concentrate on overall fitness and maintaining a healthy heart.
For best results, eat six times a day. Try balancing your meals 70% protein 30% carbs.
Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels.
Eat your proteins from lean sources (Chicken, fish, boiled eggs, lean beef with all the fat drained off) and beans (lentil, lima, chile or any type of bean)
For your carbs stay away from breads and rice. They do provide energy but they are high in calories. Choose leafy vegetables, carrots, raisins, broccoli and fresh fruits. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week.
Drink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA
Good Luck !!!
