Loose 9.5 Kilos In 27 Days…

When You Discover The Most

‘Potently-Effective’ Method For

Melting Fat From Your Body

Like Butter In a Pan…”

And Keep-off those Extra Kilos

For Rest of Your Life.

Dear friend,

You’re about to discover what might be the most powerful fat loss system ever developed. It’s the same system that has been documented and scientifically proven by weight loss experts all over the world.

This incredible system has already had a major impact on the health and lives of countless people all over the world… People just like you.

This is the only diet concept that results in MASSIVE weight loss… And it will work for you, even if you are only 75% committed to following my quick and easy weight loss plan.

What am I talking about…

“The Low Glycemic Index Diet —

Better Known as The Low GI Diet”

Finally, a diet program that WORKS!

The LOW GI Diet focuses on foods that are ‘slow-release’ in your body. What this means is that when you eat any food, your body digests that food either, quickly, or slowly depending on the Glycemic index of that food.

Why is this important…

Well, quick ‘release foods’ are your bodies worst enemy as they are digested quickly by your stomach and your body is unable to burn off the calorie from that food… Causing fat deposits to stick to you.

So, our diet “must” consist mainly of ‘slow release foods’ which allow us to burn off the calories ingested.

Slow release basically means that your body is getting energy from your food throughout the day and therefore your fat stores will be limited as the calories from your food will be burnt off throughout the day.

At Last! .. A Simple Step-By-Step Method

For Easily Loosing Maximum Weight In

The Shortest Time Possible.. While Still

Eating The Foods You Love…

Unlike many diets you will still be able to enjoy the foods you love and enjoy.

The key to the LOW GI Diet is… Moderation! … And the best part is, you don’t need to starve yourself, do weird exercises every day or run hundreds of miles every month… and… certainly you don’t need to take any dangerous or unpredictable drugs for you to see these kinds of amazing results.

The LOW GI Diet is simple… For a weight loss program to be successful it has to be EASY TO DO!.. It’s a basic truth that people just don’t do well on programs that are difficult to follow.

But you don’t have to worry about that with the LOW GI Diet. This plan is so incredibly easy to follow even a kindergartner could do it (and actually it would be very beneficial for kindergartners’ health if they did follow this plan instead of eating all the junk food that today’s youth consume).

Let me ask you a question: How much easier would your life be if you lost 5 to 25 Kilos, had tons more energy and felt healthier than you had in many years? And if you are overweight and feeling bad now, how much worse will it be in 5 or 10 years?

I can tell you from experience that, without a doubt, you will either fix this situation now or your weight will continue to increase and your health will slowly spiral downward.

Turn around your future now… Allow me to introduce.

“The Ultimate Low GI weight-loss Program”

E-book — The Easy, Healthy Way To

Achieve Permanent Weight Loss..”

At last!.. Every ounce of information you need to succeed with the LOW GI Diet is here.

Over the last 30 years, research into food and blood glucose response has completely changed our carbohydrate classification system.

It has been learned that it is impossible to predict the impact on blood glucose levels by certain foods, instead people are fed carbohydrate foods and the response measured.

This response is known as the Glycemic Index (GI), it is a measure of how quickly carbohydrate foods are digested and absorbed, and ranks carbohydrate foods according to their impact on blood sugar (glucose) levels: as indicted by elevated blood glucose

Foods with a high GI are absorbed quickly into the blood stream and cause a rapid rise in blood glucose levels. While foods with a low GI are broken down more slowly over time and keep blood glucose levels more stable (Remember that low is slow!).

Some carbohydrate foods will maintain your energy levels for hours, while some may cause your blood glucose to rise and fall. Different types of carbohydrate can also affect feelings of fullness in the stomach and this can influence hunger and your ability to control your body weight.

Why is the GI important?

When our blood glucose levels are stable we have plenty of readily available fuel for the brain and muscles. If our blood glucose levels drop too low (hypoglycemia) we feel tired, dizzy and generally unwell. If our blood glucose levels rise too quickly a rapid drop usually follows this.

Include low glycemic index foods in meals and snacks to slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream. A low glycemic index snack a few hours before exercise will help maintain your energy levels for more effective training. After high intensity exercise (strength training) a high glycemic index snack should be consumed within 30 minutes. This will help to replace energy and start the recovery process.

Low-GI foods take longer to digest and help delay hunger pangs that little bit more and thus promote weight loss. So please choose your carbs carefully as this will lower your insulin levels and burn more fat. The secret is to swap high GI foods with low GI foods.

Simple steps to a low GI diet.

Step No 1

Start with a healthy, well balanced and varied diet based on a good nutrition program. The diet should be low in fats, moderate in carbohydrate and protein. The program should be high in fibre and contain a varied amount of foods to provide the required amount of vitamins and minerals.

Step No 2

Look at the type of carbohydrates that you consume during the day. Look at the carbs that you eat the most, as these will have the most dramatic impact on your diet.

Try to change the carbs you eat the most with at least one low GI one. (Replace potato with sweet potato, use noodles instead of rice) By substituting half of your daily carbohydrate from high GI to low GI will result in an overall reduction in the GI of your diet.

Reducing the GI in your diet reduces your insulin levels and increases the fat burning apparatus in your body. Try to reduce the high GI’s in your diet by substituting them with low GI’s.

Regular consumption of low GI foods increases the feelings of fullness and satisfaction and so prevents weight gain. Try taking in six small meals a day of healthy low fat low GI foods to prevent overeating at meal times and control appetite.

Remember, that it is also important to look at the calories in food too Rice and bread might be low in fat but when your body is burning the carbohydrates in these foods it doesn’t burn as much fat. So if you are on a low fat diet, you wont loose as much weight if your calories are still high.

Have a look at the table below for the different GI food ratings.

Low GI()

Grapefruit (26)

Baked Beans (15)

Lentils (29)

Peanuts (13)

Soy Beans (15)
Pineapple (66)

Raisins (64)

Sweet corn (59)

Potato Chips (51)

All bran (51)
Cornflakes (80)

W/M Bread (72)

Brown Rice (80)

Carrots (92)

Baked Potato (98)

Compare these two menus and try to adjust your diet accordingly.

High GI Menu

Breakfast: 40 Grams of cornflakes with milk. Two slices of whole meal toast with margarine and jam.

Snack: Two sweet biscuits with a white coffee.

Lunch: Ham and salad whole meal Roll with an apple.

Snack: Four crackers with cottage cheese and chives

Main Meal: Serving of Roast chicken with a large baked potato, peas. And Small piece of cake.

Low GI Menu

Breakfast: 40 Grams of bran with low fat milk. Two slices of low GI toast (Try Burgen) with margarine and jam.

Snack: Two oatmeal biscuits with a coffee (Low fat milk).

Lunch: Ham and salad Roll (Low GI bread). Soft-serve vanilla yoghurt with toasted muesli sprinkled on top.

Snack: Two bananas.

Main Meal: Serving of Roast chicken with a small baked potato and peas. Two scoops of low fat ice cream with half a cup of canned

Chicken, beef, fish, eggs, nuts, and avocados contain very little or no carbohydrates. These foods if eaten by themselves will not have much effect on your glucose levels and are very low GI. Alcoholic beverages especially wine are also low GI so can be included in your diet but remember to count them in your daily caloric intake.

Low GI foods are ideal for loosing weight due to the slow absorption from the stomach. Low GI foods also help to keep blood sugar levels more stable and this has an effect on reducing sweet cravings.

David asks…

How can I lose weight the fastest?

I’m a 5’6, 18 year old female who weighs 290 pounds. I’m not fat, per say.. I’m stocky. Anyways, my High School Graduation is coming up in five months and I want to become thin to look good in my Grad dress. So, I’m thinking a good weight would be 140 pounds.

Basically, I want to lose a 150 pounds in five months. I’ve joined Zumba and I’ve tried cutting down my food intake, but nothing is working. Any tips for a crash diet or just any in general to make me lose weight fast?

Please and thank you!

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Sandra asks…

dieting………?

what is South Beach Diet?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The South Beach diet, developed by Miami, Florida-area cardiologist Arthur Agatston, emphasizes the consumption of “good carbs” and “good fats.” Dr. Agatston developed this diet for his cardiac patients based upon his study of scientific dieting research. The diet first appeared in a book of the same name published by Rodale Press.

The South Beach diet is often incorrectly compared to the Atkins diet (see Atkins Nutritional Approach), which is predominantly a low-carbohydrate diet.

Dr. Agatston believes that excess consumption of so-called “bad carbohydrates”, such as the rapidly-absorbed carbohydrates found in foods with a high glycemic index, creates an insulin resistance syndrome—an impairment of the hormone insulin’s ability to properly process fat or sugar. In addition, he believes along with most physicians that excess consumption of “bad fats”, such as saturated fat and trans fat, contributes to an increase in cardiovascular disease. To prevent these two conditions, Agatston’s diet minimizes consumption of bad fats and bad carbs and encourages increased consumption of good fats and good carbs.

The diet has three phases. In all phases of the diet, Dr. Agatston recommends minimizing consumption of bad fats. In Phase I, lasting two weeks, dieters attempt to eliminate insulin resistance by avoiding high or moderately high-glycemic carbs, such as sugar, candy, bread, potatoes, fruit, cereals, and grains. During this phase, Dr. Agatston says the body will lose its insulin resistance, and begin to use excess body fat, causing the dieter to lose between 8 and 13 pounds.

After two weeks, Phase II begins. Whole grain foods and fruits are gradually returned to the diet, although in smaller amounts than were likely eaten before beginning the diet, and with a continued emphasis on foods with a low glycemic index. When the dieter reaches the desired weight, Phase III begins. In Phase III the diet expands to include three servings of whole grains and three servings of fruit a day.

The diet distinguishes between good and bad carbohydrates, and good and bad fats.

Good carbs are high in fiber or high in good fats, and have a low glycemic index, that is, they are digested and absorbed slowly. Other preferred carbohydrates are those with more nutritional value than the alternatives. For instance, brown rice is allowed in moderation, but white rice is discouraged. When eating any carbohydrates, Dr. Agatston recommends also eating fiber or fat to slow digestion of the carbohydrates.
Good fats are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, especially those with omega-3 fatty acids. Saturated and trans fats are bad fats.
The diet emphasizes (1) a permanent change in one’s way of eating, (2) a variety of foods, and (3) ease and flexibility. Eating whole grains and large amounts of vegetables is encouraged, along with adequate amounts of mono- and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, such as are contained in fish. It discourages the eating of overly refined processed foods (particularly refined flours and sugars), high-fat meats, and saturated fats in general.

The diet does not require counting calories or limiting servings — Agatston suggests you eat until you are satisfied. Dieters are told to eat 6 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with small snacks between each meal.

In 2004, Kraft Foods licensed the South Beach Diet trademark for use on a line of packaged foods that would be designed to meet the requirements of the diet.

A 2004 study of the South Beach Diet by Agatston, et al., reviewed a 1998-1999 trial completed by 54 participants over the course of a year. A 2005 study of the South Beach Diet conducted by Kraft Foods was completed by 69 subjects over the course of just under three months. Both studies showed favorable results for the groups using The South Beach diet.

Helen asks…

anybody has the atkins diet?

does any body has the atkins diet??
or any other effective diet .. please provide it for me…

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diets do not work, especially the Atkins diet.

The Atkins diet is low in fiber and fruits/veggies and high in meat and saturated fat. There is science behind it, but it gets incredibly boring and is completely dependent on eating how the diet instructs.

Both my father and my uncle tried the Atkins diet. Yes initially they lost weight, but they immediately gained it back when they let the diet slip. My uncle accidentally was given a regular soda and because of that one deviance he didn’t lost weight for 2 weeks.

I can’t support any weight loss plan that lets you have bacon but not an apple.

Best way to lose weight eat less and exercise more. There are many books and websites on weight loss (and even the Atkins diet), use a search engine.

Sharon asks…

Diet Pills?

Does anyone know of any diet pills that actually work good with diet and exercise?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diet and weight loss pills can have a significant impact on our blood pressure, metabolism and general health. Pills are not an easy option for easy or fast weight loss. Whether they assist weight loss or not, most diet and weight loss pills have unpleasant side effects, create drug-dependency and interfere with other medications. Weight loss medications are really designed for obesity control where the advantage of losing weight outweighs the disadvantage of side-effects. They are a short-term diet aid for severely overweight dieters. Finally, nearly all clinical trials of diet and weight loss pills show that weight loss drug therapy is only effective when part of a comprehensive weight management program of diet, exercise and weight loss support.

There just isn’t an easy way.

You are better off just watching what you eat and increasing your exercise. Ultimately… You gotta burn it to lose it.

Seriously… Go to your doctor before you take diet pills. Each year there are several deaths linked to diet pills. It just isn’t worth it.
