Low glycemic index diets best for weight loss

Last Updated: 2007-07-18 8:00:05 -0400 (Reuters Health)

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Low glycemic index diets are more effective than other diet strategies for helping overweight or obese people lose weight and improve their cholesterol levels, a review of the medical literature shows.

"Lowering the glycemic load of the diet appears to be an effective method of promoting weight loss and improving lipid profiles and can be simply incorporated into a person's lifestyle," Dr. Elizabeth Elliott of The Children's Hospital at Westmead in New South Wales, Australia and her colleagues conclude.

There is little consensus on the best approach for helping overweight and obese people trim down, Elliott and her team note in the latest online issue of The Cochrane Library, adding that evidence on the effectiveness of low glycemic index diets has been mixed.

Glycemic index is a measurement of how a food affects blood glucose. High glycemic index foods, such as white breads, cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels, while low glycemic index foods, such as vegetables and beans, which tend to be higher and fiber and contain more complex carbs, are metabolized more slowly and release a steadier, slower flow of glucose into the blood stream.

Elliott and her team evaluated six clinical trials, including a total of 202 people, which compared low glycemic index diets to other diet approaches. The diets lasted from five weeks to six months.

On average, the researchers found, people on low glycemic index diets lost 2.2 pounds more than those on other types of diets. They also cut their body mass index by an average of 1 to 2 points.

In two studies, obese subjects on a low glycemic index diet lost an average of 9.2 pounds. "Hence, low glycemic diets appear to be effective even in obese people who need to lose considerable amounts of weight," they write.

Reductions in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein, the "bad" cholesterol, also were greater among people on the low glycemic index diets.

Low glycemic index diets are easy to follow, Elliott and her colleagues note, and if people strictly limit themselves to low glycemic foods they can eat as much of them as they want. "This is more conductive to good quality of life than a very restrictive diet," they conclude.
