Jennie Brand-Miller on the fat-burning benefits of low GI foods
Low GI foods result in lower insulin levels which makes fat easier to burn and less likely to be stored. Low GI foods include multigrain bread, rolled oats or muesli, biscuits made with dried fruit and whole grains, apples, citrus fruits, sweet potatoes and sweet corn.
