Foods that have a low glycemic index are digested for longer, so you do not feel hungry for a long time, yet you have enough energy to carry out your daily duties.

High calorie foods such as olive oil must be used sparingly, in case you are concerned about your weight, of course. On the other hand, consuming only low GI food will result in more efficient weight loss, because your body will have to use more energy to process this food.
