Finally, a way to look up GI and GL values for nearly 8,000 common foods, *and* record them to a daily food log! Low GI Dieters LOVE Low GI Diet Tracker: "A fabulous help if you are following a Low Glycaemic Index diet as it allows you to check all the foods which you buy or prepare." -- myhealthportal.co.uk "Wonderful tool. It provides me with all I need to maintain a low carbohydrate lifestyle". "Great App!!!!! I have been recently diagnosed with prediabetes, and this app is really helping me plan menus to help me get the most from my diet..." "I love it." Glycemic Index is a measure of the impact of a food on your blood sugar / glucose levels. The higher the index value, the more that food raises your blood sugar. Managing the GI of the foods you eat may be an important step in maintaining a healthy diet, especially for prediabetics and people on low carb diets. With a few taps, you can search through thousands of foods, color-coded by high-, medium-, and low-GI ratings. Next, select a serving size based on common servings (or select by weight -- grams, ounces, or pounds). This will bring up a convenient view of each food's GI, glycemic load (a measure of the impact of your selected serving on blood sugar), net carbs (total carbs minus dietary fiber), and a macronutrient breakdown pie chart. You can quickly 'log' this food as eaten. The food log feature allows you to see the average GI of all foods (a weighted average based on amount consumed), the total glycemic load of all the foods, total net carbs, total calories, and a macronutrient breakdown. Plus, quickly review the GI of each meal, plus see a sum total of the each meal's average GI and total GL. HIGHLIGHTS - "No frustrations"design.
