Lowering the GI

There are a some tricks you can do to lower the GI of your meal.  A few are adding oils to your meal, such as olive, flax and grape seed oil, along with adding an acid to your meal, such as lemon and balsamic vinegar.  In addition, adding vegetables and other fiber will also lower the overall GI of your meals. I also mention in a previous blog that cinnamon and (possibly) stevia also help control the GI when added to foods/meals.
