When Dieting, Not All Calories Are Created Equal: A low-glycemic-index diet is better than a low-fat or Atkins diet in terms of improving metabolism and reducing the risk of various chronic diseases. The ideal diet that promotes a fast metabolism — that is, your bodys ability to quickly burn off calories — as well as promotes long-term health in terms of disease-free organs appears to be (surprise!) fresh vegetables and whole grains or any foods that reduce the surge of blood sugar after a meal. These foods are said to have a low glycemic index and are generally foods that are not processed. The Mediterranean diet is one example. Source: Scientific American Jun 27, 2012 |
