3. Broccoli
When a person starts considering a low carb diet it can be easy to get confused about whether or not they should be eating certain fruits and vegetables. While fruits and vegetables offer many great nutrients that the body needs, there are some that are also high in carbs, such as the regular white potato noted above. However, there are some vegetables such as broccoli that should be a part of a healthy low GI diet.
When it comes to thinking about foods to eat on a low GI diet, it is important to not lump all foods into a category like carbs, proteins, and fats. Instead, look at each food individually. Broccoli is considered a carb, but it also is high in fiber and protein. The GI of broccoli is just 10, which is really low. This means that you can eat as much broccoli as you want when you are following a low GI diet.
