| Our Eating Plans Reflect The Cochrane Collaborations Findings | |
This new approach has been endorsed by the latest research from the Cochrane Collaboration, released on 18th July 2007. The research studied 202 patients, some of whom were given a low GI diet while others remained on a standard eating plan. Here are the authors’ key findings:
“The overweight or obese people on the low GI diet lost more weight than those receiving standard diets.
Body mass index and cholesterol decreased significantly more in the low GI group.
In comparing low GI diets to restricted calorie low-fat diets, participants fared as well or better on the low GI diet, even though they could eat as much as desired. Lowering the glycaemic load of the diet appears to be an effective method of promoting weight loss and can be simply incorporated into a person's lifestyle.”
