As a matter of fact, there is not a fixed glycemic index meal plan when you lose weight with the glycemic index. But there are some things to think about and strive for when you plan your meals for the day.
Eating breakfast is very important, as it influences the glycemic index of the coming meals during the day. So EAT breakfast, and take care to choose food with as low glycemic index as possible. The following is an example to get you on the right track:
Grapefruit, half or whole or An apple (take care when choosing fruit, some have a much too high GI value) A bowl of oatmeal porridge and milk
Since you will eat a breakfast with a really low GI value, the risk for cravings between meals during the day is minimal. But if you really feel you need a snack, choose fruit only if you pick one with a really low GI value. Some fruits have a much to high GI value to be a good alternative for a snack between meals.
Nuts are full of proteins, vitamins (especially E) and essential fatty acids, making them the perfect snack. But only a handful, or else you will overeat.
You must avoid fast food, because that commonly has a high GI value. The best choice is to bring your own lunchbox, but if you want to join your workmates in the lunch restaurant, skip rice, potatoes and the like in order to keep the low GI values in your glycemic index meal plan.
As for dinner, compose a meal you like from the GI table, and again, make sure you get all the proteins, fatty acids and vitamins your body demands.
Fish, meat and eggs are all food with high protein content and no GI at all since there are no carbohydrates in them.
