Low GI living is helps you live your best life in more ways than one. It works even if you have a terrible sweet tooth, even if you have family history, even if you don’t like to cook. When I say it’s the best and most flexible diet, it’s not just my word or lived experience, it’s backed by research.

Here are 10 reasons to start low GI living today and every day.


1. “You’re really tired of feeling the way you do. You want this to work.”

If you’ve said something like that out loud — or just at 11pm on the couch to no one — you’re who Low GI Living is for. Not the women trying to optimize their wellness. The women who are done with the way they feel, and need a place to start that’s not another reset, another fast, another protein bar.

2. “You have a terrible sweet tooth. You eat when you’re bored.”

You don’t have to white-knuckle this. There is a low-GI version of almost every craving you have, and you can have it. The afternoon sweet thing you can’t stop thinking about — it’s not an enemy, it’s a swap. The Substitution Library does the work for you.

3. “You want to reverse prediabetes and stay in the 5.5 or 5.4 range for A1C. Your nutritionist wants you to eat more carbs, but you’re afraid to.”

If your A1C has been creeping and no one’s giving you a straight answer about carbs, that’s the gap we fill. The Custom Plan tells you how many carbs are right for you — at your weight, your numbers, your activity — and what to eat them with so your blood sugar holds steady. No more guessing. No more afraid of a slice of bread.

4. “Your family history scares you. You’re motivated by fear.”

Some of us are here because something happened. A funeral. A diagnosis. A doctor’s appointment that didn’t go the way we hoped. If that’s the place you’re coming from — bring the fear with you. We turn it into a daily plan you can actually follow.

5. “You lose, then gain it all back and more.”

If that’s the story of every diet you’ve ever done — Weight Watchers, Whole30, keto, intermittent fasting, faster way to fat loss — it’s because each one of those was built to stop. Low GI eating isn’t a stop. You learn what spikes you and what doesn’t, and that knowledge doesn’t expire. Quiet, steady, not a diet.

6. “You want a balanced way to eat that gives your body the nutrition it needs and keeps you at a healthy weight — without feeling like you’re on a restrictive diet.”

That’s literally the brief. You’re not banning food groups. You’re not weighing your food. You’re not counting macros until your phone dies. You’re learning what works for your specific body — and then you eat that, for the rest of your life.

7. “You’re eating dinner at 10pm during the week because your real schedule doesn’t end at 6.”

We don’t pretend you live somewhere else. The Custom Plan asks about your real week — when you eat, when you commute, when you finally sit down — and builds around that. Not around an ideal version of you with three hours of free time and no obligations.

8. “You work Monday through Friday. You hit the gym a few nights a week. You need something you can reheat when you get home.”

If meal prep on Sunday is the only way your week works, this was built for that. Printable shopping lists. The Soups & Bowls collection made for batch cooking. The Morning Anchor Breakfast Collection for the days you’re running. You’re not learning a new lifestyle — you’re learning a better way to use the time you already have.

9. “You don’t like to cook. You eat too many prepared meals.”

So we don’t ask you to become a cook. The Food Finder tells you the glycemic index of any food — including the prepared meals already in your cart. You’ll learn which ones don’t spike you and which ones do. You can do this without ever turning on a stove if you don’t want to.

10. “You want to feel comfortable and have energy again. To feel confident in your body.”

That’s all of us, actually. Underneath the A1C number, and the meno belly, and the 2pm crash, and the family history — that’s what you want. To feel like yourself again. That’s the whole reason this exists.
