Some examples of low-glycemic foods include:
- Non-starchy vegetables: broccoli, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, bell peppers,
- Legumes: lentils, chickpeas, black beans, beans, etc.
- Whole grains: oats, quinoa, brown rice, barley, wheat bread, etc.
- Nuts and seeds: almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, etc. Fruits: berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries), apples, oranges, pears, etc.
- Lean proteins: chicken breast, turkey, fish, tofu, eggs, etc.
- Dairy products: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, milk (preferably low-fat or unsweetened).
For snacks, the ex-supermodel chooses vegetables or hummus.
Vegetables provide a large amount of fiber, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. They are also naturally low in calories. Hummus is made from chickpeas, which provide a good amount of protein. Together, hummus and vegetables make a great healthy snack.
