Legumes generally have a low glycemic index. One of the foods from the legumes family that you can add to your low-glycemic diet is lentils. Lentils are bushy annual plants that have lens-shaped seeds. The glycemic index value of lentils ranges depending on the type and how they are prepared. When prepared plain, the glycemic index value is 18, but when combined with foods or additives that are high in glycemic value, they are raised to 52. So, instead of a full serving of rice, you can replace half with lentils. Lentils are also vegetarians food which can be used to replace meat. [9]
