7 Day GI Diet Menu
7 Day GI Diet Sample Menu
When asked to recommend a type of diet to a friend I immediately suggested the GI Diet. However, I was amazed at the reaction I got - it would take up far too much of her time and she wouldn't be able to eat anything "normal".
So, just to prove a point, I came up with this one week GI diet menu, to illustrate that with a little planning you can have great, and importantly, "normal" food while sticking to a GI diet. This menu is a short example that eating GI wont have you going hungry and even allows for packed lunches and lunches on the go.
Admittedly I've cheated a bit with some of the meals by using recipes from Anthony Worrall Thompson's GI Diet and Rick Gallop's Living the GI Diet, but seeing as they have already done the hard work I thought I should take advantage of their GI and culinary knowledge to create a truly yummy diet menu.
