Behind it lies the hormone insulin. It ensures that the sugar is transported from the blood and stored in the fat cells. If we want to lose weight, we should take care of our insulin. The tried-and-tested Glyx diet keeps insulin levels flat . It relies on foods that result in low insulin secretion - measurable on the so-called glycemic index, Glyx for short .
A low value keeps you slim. Foods with high glyx should be avoided as far as possible: wheat bread, cola, sweets - and surprisingly some typical diet favorites such as rice waffles, cornflakes or crispbread . But who wants to sift through long tables or memorize which food has which value?

All you have to do is fill your plate according to the following pattern: 3 parts vegetables, 2 parts protein and only 1 part carbohydrates. With this blend, you 'll absorb fat, protein, and carbohydrates in the right proportions and insulin levels will stay balanced. This relieves the metabolism, prevents cravings and makes fat pads melt. And you can eat like that permanently. Because with the plate trick you feed yourself healthy and balanced.
The Glyx Diet and the Teller Trick
3 parts vegetables
Colorful vegetables should always make up most of your plate contents. Variety of meals is thus ensured. Most vegetables have a low to medium glyx factor. Only with starchy vegetables such as pumpkin, beetroot and cooked carrots should you be a little more restrained. You can also access fruit with low Glyx value. These include apples, pears, berries, fresh figs, pomegranates, grapefruits, kumquats, tangerines, nectarines, oranges, peaches, rhubarb, sour cherries, plums or plums .
2 parts protein
Our body is made of protein. We therefore need a lot of this nutrient. He plays the second most important role on our plate. Protein saturates for a long time and contributes to fat burning. If you take care to fill your plate with 2 parts with high-quality protein suppliers (eg poultry, fish, tofu), take it off easily. Ideal: enjoy legumes 3 times a week. At the same time, protein lifts the mood. Because it stimulates the production of the happiness hormone serotonin. This curbs the appetite and lets us sleep well - also important for losing weight.
1 part carbohydrates
Because carbohydrate-rich foods in the body are converted directly into sugar and energy, they cause a particularly high release of insulin. Therefore you do not have to ban them completely. But: They only come on the plate for the smallest part. And: much better than z. Wheat, which also has a high glyx in the wholegrain variant, is spelled, barley, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, oats, natural and wild rice. Even with potato supplements you should be restrained. The only exception: jacket potatoes. Two little ones make z. For example, make a good carbohydrate portion on your 3-2-1 plate. White bread should be eaten extremely rarely.
