Fruit and vegetables

 
Fruit and vegetables

All veg (spinach, green beans, tomatoes, carrots, fennel, aubergine), have a low GI index of practically zero! Salad is also excellent because it's very high in fibre and can lower the GI index of a meal, so go for big helpings! For the same reasons, chunky soup is a great weight loss weapon. 

With a few exceptions (lychees and watermelon), all fruit has a low GI index. Fruit is bursting with fat-busting vitamins and fibre, which makes them excellent at the end of a meal. They'll lower the GI index of what you eat because of their high fibre content.
