Science Behind Monitoring Blood Sugar & Weight Loss

We investigated the effect of low and high glycemic load (GL) diets on satiety and whether satiety varied by body mass index (BMI), gender, and serum leptin. In summary, reducing GL, and/or increasing fiber, may be an effective way to lower calories consumed, improve energy balance, and ultimately reduce cancer risk.

Low glycemic load experimental diet more satiating than high glycemic load diet
