Simple Summer Slim-Down

If you eat a diet that contains predominantly foods with a low glycemic index, it doesn’t matter much if you secrete insulin quickly or slowly, as these foods won’t provoke a rapid insulin response.

Whether you go to a farmers’ market or a supermarket, shopping for summer meals can be a treat. With such fresh, fragrant fruits and vegetables, you don’t need to do much to them. Here, three-course meals with whole foods low in fat and low on the glycemic index.

Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner
Steel-cut oatmeal with fresh berries and bananas or an egg white omelet with fresh vegetables	French vegetable soup with basil	White bean salad with zucchini, tomato and basil
Toasted stone-ground whole-grain bread	Arugula salad with corn and red onions	Spring vegetable stir-fry with tofu or whole-wheat pizza with roasted eggplant and peppers
Orange wedges	Sliced fresh peaches	Fruit salad with lime and mint
