G.I. Load over G.I foods

The G.I. diet plan is a greath way to lose weight and eat a healthy balanced diet. The difficulty is combining various index scores together for a whole meal. For this we use the Glycemic load or the average score for all the foods in a meal. Here is an example showing how it works.

Salmon steak (G,I = 18) + Brown Rice (50) + Peas(40) + French Beans (30) = 138. Divide this total by 4 (number of foods in the meal) = 34.5. This Glycemic load for this meal is a low rating and good for controlling blood sugar.

An example of a bad Glycemic load meal would be an Indian chicken Korma.
Chicken Korma (70) + WHite Rice (50) + Onion Bhaji (65) = 185. Divide by 3 = 62.
