Substitute high GI foods for lower GI alternatives
The Glycemic Index (GI) Foundation has prepared a list of suggested food swaps, and the concept is simple:
- Take the meals you love and list the ingredients
- Replace high GI foods with low GI foods
- Continue to enjoy food, while preserving your heritage and traditions
