Body Transformation with Fortius Personal Trainers - Low GI Total Healing Program
Improved Gut Health, Better Sleep, and More Energy with a Lowered Glycemic Load
Have you ever experienced that things are going too slow or not the way you would want them to go? Or is it a missing piece of a puzzle that doesn't allow you to reach your goals? That is exactly how most of us felt at some point in our fitness journey. Our client Maja is an excellent example of a hard worker that didn't know what was happening with her body; she felt stuck. Maja's case is not unique; most people struggle with the same issues.
Maja was training with our coach Andjela for quite some time with small breaks. She always made progress; however, at some point, she was not satisfied with how her body progressed. She complained about always being bloated, having lousy stool, and other digestive tract issues. She also struggled with lack of energy, frequent burping, and not getting the best sleep. She was already well aware that she was gluten intolerant, so she would barely allow herself to eat gluten. Not knowing what else could it be, we advised her to visit a doctor to do some analysis that could potentially help us discover what's stopping her from making more progress. After seeing a doctor, Maja came up with the result that she has Heliobacter pylori. Now, that said a lot!
WHAT IS HELICOBACTER PYLORUS?
Helicobacter pylorus is a nasty little bacterium that can cause digestive problems, from stomach pain and bloating to ulcers. It's also linked to other health issues like skin problems, anxiety, and depression.
SYMPTOMS OF HELICOBACTER PYLORUS
The symptoms of H. pylori infection can vary from person to person. They may include:
belching or burping
bloating
bloody or black stools
diarrhea
the feeling of fullness
nausea or vomiting
stomach pain or discomfort
sour taste in the mouth
Fortunately, treatments available can get rid of the bacterium and relieve symptoms. But, to eliminate H. pylori, it's also essential to make some dietary changes. One of the most important things you can do is to focus on eating low glycemic index (GI) foods.
GLYCEMIC INDEX AND THE KEY TO TRANSFORMATION
During our conversation with Maja, she mentioned always struggling with her energy levels. Even though she would have a good night's sleep, she would feel tired in the morning, and it would be hard for her to get out of bed. After talking to her further, we discovered that her diet was the main issue. Sometimes, she would have gluten-free chips or other salty/sweet snacks.
Processed foods (like most snacks) are generally high on the glycemic index (GI). The glycemic index is a scale that ranks carbohydrates according to how quickly they raise blood sugar levels. High GI foods (70 or more) are broken down quickly and cause blood sugar levels to spike. This, in turn, can lead to increased hunger, cravings, and fatigue.
We recommended Maja start our Low Glycemic Total Healing program that will lead her to easily avoid processed foods and focus on eating whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, lean protein, and healthy fats. We also advised her to eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day instead of three large meals. This way, she would avoid spikes in blood sugar levels and have more consistent energy levels throughout the day.
HOW EASY WAS IT TO EAT LOW GLYCEMIC MEALS AND MINIMALLY PROCESSED FOODS?
At first, Maja was skeptical about the program as she knew how many gluten products she had to give up on already, so her question was, "What can I eat?". But once she started and realized that there's such a wide variety of low glycemic index foods, she was amazed and felt at ease. With this program, we provided the Meal Plan and CookBook, which made her feel safe and more trustful.
Within a few weeks of following our Low Glycemic Total Healing Program and exercising regularly, Maja started seeing results. She had more energy, her bloating and burping were gone, and she slept better. She also started seeing results in the mirror, which motivated her to stick to the plan and continue working towards her goals.
After just 4 weeks of following our program, Maja became Helicobacter pylorus free. The bloatedness disappeared, and the stool, energy, and sleep improved. The results were just incredible.

She was amazed by how much the program helped her, and on top of that, she said she fed the whole family the same meals, and everyone was satisfied. The family didn't even realize that they were transiting from eating "everything" to having only low glycemic index foods.
CAN A LOW GLYCEMIC FOOD PROGRAM BECOME A LIFESTYLE?
In one of the last consultations, our client Maja mentioned that she would make it a lifestyle as her family enjoyed meals too. She pointed out that she was preparing some great minimally processed foods for her kids, and they were thrilled. They all felt better, had more energy, and slept like never before.
We can without hesitation say that it can quickly become a lifestyle. However, like every program or diet, the transition should be slow. Nothing should be quick and forceful. We need time to let our bodies adapt to changes.
If you're stuck in a similar situation as Maja, gut health could be the missing piece. Following simple diets and lifestyle changes can improve your gut health, sleep better, and have more energy within a few weeks. This will help you make faster progress towards your fitness goals.
WHEN WOULD WE RECOMMEND EATING ONLY LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX FOODS?
We would generally recommend low glycemic index foods to people who:
have gut issues
want to improve gut health

have trouble sleeping
want to achieve their ideal body transformation.
If any of these sounds like you, we encourage you to try our Low Glycemic Total Healing Program. It could be the missing piece in your puzzle to finally achieve gut health, better sleep, and more energy. Our program will help you make healthier choices and stick to them for long-term success.
What are some of the things you can do to improve gut health?

What is the impact of a low GI diet on my immune system?
A heavy glycemic diet can increase your risk of developing obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It has also been linked to inflammation throughout the body, which can lead to gut issues and a weakened immune system.
On the other hand, a low glycemic load diet has been shown to improve gut health, insulin sensitivity, and blood sugar control. This diet is also associated with a reduced risk for obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. A low glycemic diet can also help reduce inflammation and improve gut health.
So, if you're looking to lose weight, improve gut health, and boost your immune system, a low glycemic load.
Common questions and answers
Is the low gi diet for everyone?
Unfortunately, we cannot say that it is for everyone. This program may be a good fit if you have gut issues or want to improve gut health. However, you must remember that if you're intolerant to eggs, dairy, or nuts, this program will not suit you well. In that particular case, we have a different program for you!

How can I be sure that I have gut issues and that the Low Glycemic Total Healing program is for me?
Before starting the program, we make sure we know all the symptoms you're facing. The next step is to show us your recent blood test result. If you don't have any, we encourage you to visit a specialist and do a blood test. We will know if our program is suitable for you through the results.
How often should I do the blood test, and what improvements should I expect?
We recommend it at the program's beginning (day 1) and the end (day 30).
How will I know if the low gi foods are working for me?
You will know if the low glycemic index diet works if you see improvements in gut health, sleep, and energy levels. You may also see improvements in body composition, depending on your fitness goals.
How long should I stay on a low gi diet?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It depends on your gut health, sleep, energy levels, and fitness goals. We recommend following the program for at least four weeks to see if it's a good fit for you. If you see positive results, then you could make it a lifestyle.
Do I need to work out to see positive results with your program?
You don't necessarily need to work out to see positive results. However, we don't promise that your body will drastically change except that you might look less bloated. If you want to improve gut health, sleep, and energy levels, we recommend following a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise. Exercise will have a profound effect on both your physical and mental health!
Is the low glycemic index diet sustainable in the long term?
Yes, it is sustainable in the long term as long as you make healthy choices and stick to them. The key is to find what works best for you and your gut health.
How does a low gi diet affect the central nervous system and the brain?
The mechanism by which a low gi diet affects the CNS and the brain is not fully understood. Still, it is thought to be related to the ability of a low gi diet to improve blood sugar control and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Studies have shown that a low gi diet decreases the risk of developing Alzheimer's, dementia, and other age-related cognitive declines. Additionally, a low gi diet has been shown to improve memory and cognitive function in adults of all ages.
