A promising nutritional approach suggested by this thematic review is metabolic effect of low glycaemic-index diet.</p> <p>The currently available scientific literature shows that low glycaemic-index diets acutely induce a number of favorable effects, such as a rapid weight loss, decrease of fasting glucose and insulin levels, reduction of circulating triglyceride levels and improvement of blood pressure.</p> <p>The long-term effect of the combination of these changes is at present not known.</p> <p>Based on associations between these metabolic parameters and risk of cardiovascular disease, further controlled studies on low-GI diet and metabolic disease are needed.</p> |
