A low-glycaemic index diet may not be any help for obese people trying to lose weight, contrary to growing popular belief, suggests a new study out of the US.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota tested whether reducing the glycaemic index of a diet already low in calories would have any further benefit for a group of obese adults.
But although the new trial confirmed the benefit of lowering glycaemic index on insulin sensitivity, it did not impact the subjects' weight, they write in this month's issue of the Journal of Nutrition (135:2387-91).

I am not surprised with this study since it compares the two diets with an equal caloric intake. What readers may be misled to think is that a low-glycemic diet is no better than a high-glycemic one in trying to lose weight. My own experience is that a low-glycemic intake helped me lose 20kgs in 6 months simply by stabilising my sugar levels and preventing hunger-pang-binging-spells.
