Glycemic Flex is the most evolved nutrition method based on the principles of Montignac and then Atkins 2. In this sense, Glycemic Flex is part of the category of diets without calorie counting with a central principle of High Protein Low Carbohydrates but with a minor deviation in this regard. Glycemic Flex involves a sugar-free diet and foods with a lower glycemic index, which in turn result in a low daily glycemic load. In this way, the practitioner of Glycemic Flex corrects insulin resistance if it exists and then maintains a low and constant daily level of blood glucose concentration / glycemia.

The Glycemic Flex method is the most adapted because it can determine the maximum glycemia determined by each food in real time, teaching the practitioner of the method which foods to avoid. Glycemic Flex practitioners will learn in real-time over the course of several weeks without a permanently dedicated instructor which foods develop high glycemia because it is not a rule that the same food will result in similar glycemia for two different individuals, even if it has a different glycemic index and glycemic load.

However, guidance from a doctor or nutritionist is necessary to help the practitioner understand the basic concepts. Glycemic Flex is not inherently a weight loss program, but weight loss is a secondary element resulting from hypoglycemic nutrition, which ensures the avoidance of diabetes and consequently a lean physique and sculpted body. Glycemic Flex needs to be supplemented with other elements that maintain glycemia, namely hormonal balance influenced by physical exertion and avoidance of emotional stress. These latter two elements together also contribute to glycemic control and implicitly to the onset of obesity initially and then diabetes.

What we need to understand is that Glycemic Flex is a complex method aimed at healthy overweight or obese individuals who have not yet developed serious illnesses due to their diet. Glycemic Flex is applied in pre-diabetic metabolic syndrome or healthy individuals. A proven fact is that by maintaining a low level of blood sugar, we lose weight and stay fit. So the goal is twofold because we avoid metabolic diseases and look slim. The method involves lightly or moderately distributed physical exercise accessible to almost all healthy individuals to allow us to consume all types of foods and continue to regulate blood sugar. Hormonal imbalances that make us gain weight need to be corrected medically separately. Anxiety increases the values of certain hormones and must be addressed separately.

In addition to keeping us slim and free from diabetes, this method ensures the best control of lipids in the body, including cholesterol and its compounds, which, in the absence of high blood glucose, are consumed themselves in the process of energy burning, preventing arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke caused by the large amount of lipids deposited over time on blood vessels.
