Bread for sustained energy

As November is Diabetes Month, we would like to give you accurate information on the GI of different foods to help you to eat for sustained energy.

Bread needn't be evil as (most dieters make it out to be). Make sure you choose one with a low GI, meaning it will breakdown and release sugar (glucose) slowly into your blood and keep your energy levels constant. Have this list handy the next time you go down the bread aisle at your supermarket- it's super handy!
