Low GI Dinner

Low GI Dinners – Enjoy the many low-glycemic possibilities available! Invest in a great low GI cookbook with lots of mouthwatering pictures, or get inspired with a few of the suggestions we’ve listed.

Consider making double batches when cooking and then freeze half for an easy low gi meal another night. Also, rather than eating up all the leftovers, keep some aside for lunches.

Keep in mind portion, sizes too. Is it really necessary to go back for seconds? Or thirds? If you feel comfortably full, stop there! Or have some more vegetables or fresh fruit to finish off instead.

If you can, do your best not to eat your evening meal too late at night. Studies have shown that eating late in the evening can cause a restless night’s sleep. That means no late night “snacks” either!
