BEHAVIORAL

Low GI diet

This educational session will cover information on obesity, complications of obesity, the benefit of weight loss, the glycemic index and its associated low GI diet, a food-exchange table including high- to low-GI foods, and self-decision in food choices. The dietary advice will be based on the standard food pyramid for the conventional Chinese diet as promoted by the Hong Kong Department of Health, with an emphasis on the selection of low-GI products. Practical tips will be given such as the selection of low-GI rice and rice products, the impact of cooking methods (including cooking time, cooking conditions, and cooking liquid volume) on rice GI, intervention to reduce the GI of rice, and listing low-GI food options and meal plans.
