Benefits of Low Glycemic Diet
A low glycemic diet is a diet that involves removing foods with high GI and replacing them with a lower GI.
A low glycemic diet has various health benefits, such as:

- Increased weight loss: Various research discovered that following a low GI diet will promote short-term weight loss. However, more studies are needed to understand how it affects long-term weight management.
- It could benefit people with fatty liver: Following a low-glycemic diet will help reduce over fat and liver enzyme levels in people that have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. [3]
