The effect of low glycemic index and glycemic load diets on hepatic fat mass, insulin resistance, and blood lipid panels in individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Evaluation of the effect of macronutrients combination on blood sugar levels in healthy individuals. Glycemic index and diabetes.īasturk B, Koc Ozerson Z, Yuksel A. A review of four studies found that low-GI and low-GL diets reduced liver fat levels and levels of a marker of liver damage called alanine transaminase (ALT) in individuals with NAFLD. Following a low-GI diet could benefit people with NAFLD. People with fatty liver disease: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a liver condition characterized by excess fat buildup in the liver tissue.Study results suggest that low-GI diets could be effective for promoting fat loss in certain groups, such as people with metabolic disease. People who want to lose weight: Following a low-GI diet may help cut out foods associated with weight gain and excess body fat, such as sweets and sugary beverages.Research also shows that low-glycemic diets can improve blood sugar control in people with type 1 diabetes. For example, in a review of 10 studies, most of the included studies found low-GI diets resulted in a significant improvement in post-meal blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

People with type 1 and 2 diabetes: Numerous studies have shown that low-GI diets can help improve glycemic control in people with diabetes.
