Finding The Right Diet Is Like Finding Your Soulmate

Have you ever met that special someone and everything just clicks.

You wake up happy, you go to bed happy, your moods are good and nothing seems to bother you. Ah yes, isn't love grand!

Imagine if you could feel like that, even if you have not found that perfect partner!

That's what eating the right foods will make you feel like. Eating foods that are in harmony with your body on a regular basis will keep your energy levels high, help to keep your moods stable and allow you to have a great night's sleep so you wake up energised and happy!

Cutting scientific research is showing that eating foods that are lower in the glycemic range will do exactly this - stabilize your blood sugar, which means no major spikes in energy, just a constant steady release.

Low GI foods also keep you fuller for longer, so it helps to reduce snacking tendencies so you can maintain or lose weight.

Having a low GI meal at the end of the day also means that we get a better night sleep because our bodies do not have to work overtime to process foods high in fat or sugars.

The idea of Low GI is not to stress your body out so it can lose weight easier. Here's a few tips on what kinds of food to eat to give you that happy, day-long glow!

1. Looks for Low GI labels on foods in the supermarket

2. Eat as unprocessed as you can get - lots of vegetables and fruits

3. Eat more legumes such as broad beans, chick peas, lentils, butter beans, bertoli beans and black eyed peas - they are nutritious, they fill you up and are really inexpensive.

4. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure this contains lots of Low GI yummies like oats (the old fashioned stuff, not toasted). Add some fruit and yogurt to the oats and you have a really tasty and healthy filling brekkie. If you need more add some wholegrain or rye toast with nut spread or avocado

5. Eat regularly throughout the day so you don't go hungry - snack on nuts, prunes, yogurt, fruit.

So if you are still looking for that perfect someone, do not worry because in the meantime, be the healthiest and happiest you can be...and the rest will surely follow.
