I know I should stick to low GI foods on a fast day. So which foods are best?

As we’ve seen, foods with a low GI or GL will help keep your blood sugar stable, increasing your chances of a successful day with few calories. Vegetables and legumes are, needless to say, amazing, and you should rely on them on a fast day. Packed with nutrients, their bulk fills you up, they have relatively few calories and they keep your blood sugar low. Carrots are a great snack, particularly with hummus dip, which scores an astonishing GI of 6 and a GL of 0. Fruit is handy too, though some fruits are more fast-friendly than others.

Check the GI count of your chosen fast-day foods online. Diabetes UK has an excellent guide at www.diabetes.org.uk.

Or look at the GI Index from the University of Sydney on www.glycemicindex.com, noting that some foods have an unexpected count. Staples, for instance, are worth scrutinising with an eagle eye:
