Make a Low GI Diet high on your list

There are quite a few benefits of a Low GI Diet but I’m just going to talk about my favourite…feeling fuller for longer.
First an admission. I’m a serial snacker, greedy comfort eater and, for my efforts, carry an extra 8 kilos, mostly around my tummy. I used to eat 3-4 bowls of cereal every morning (seriously) and thought I was virtuous eating grains and dried fruit. What I’ve come to realise is I was addicted to the carb/sugar hit.
It also didn’t occur to me my mid-morning hunger pains were as a result of food I ate 2-3 hours ago.
When my business partner Nick mentioned SuperStart cereal “just fills you up, and keeps you feeling full” I had to give it a try. (To cut a longish story short, Nick and I were so impressed SuperStart kept its promise we bought the company).
When someone asks about SuperStart or Low GI the best thing I can say is what it noticeably does for me – keeps my hunger away for longer.
A more scientific explanation is GI or Glycemic Index ranks carbohydrates based on their effect on blood glucose levels. High GI carbohydrates like white bread, many cereals and, sorry, chocolate, break down quickly during digestion and the blood glucose response increases quickly.
Low GI carbohydrates break down slowly, release glucose gradually into your blood stream.
What’s low GI and what’s not?
A great thing about low GI foods is there are so many to choose from. You don’t feel like you’re missing out like you do on most diets. Here’s a list of high GI foods and their low GI alternatives (not surprisingly SuperStart is in there).

HIGHER GI

Corn Flakes, no particular brand

White rice

White bread

Rice Cakes

Ice Cream

French fries

LOW GI

SuperStart with low fat milk

Brown rice

Soy and linseed wholemeal bread

Nuts and seed muesli bar

Yoghurt

Sweet potato

Word of warning – not all GI foods are created equal
Some low GI foods are high in sugar and of poor nutritional value. That’s the trick for young players. Unlike some other low GI foods, SuperStart is highly nutritious. The high quality, natural ingredients deliver a wealth of lipids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. And, there’s just 2.1% sugar, all occurring naturally in the ingredients.

Buy 6 packs and save
$8.95 per bag for 6 or more 400g packs.
That’s just $1.28 per 50g serve (including delivery). Plus, think of the money you’ll save by snacking less.

One low delivery price Australia-wide. And we take international orders.
