Summary:
The Glycemic Impact (also known as the glycemic index) concept is to eat more complex foods that your body takes longer to break down which should help keep blood insulin levels more constant throughout the day. Also, when the food stays in your system longer, you'll feel fuller and won't be tempted to snack. It's the concept of good carbs vs. bad carbs.
There are many good points to the glycemic index based diet plans. You'll focus more on complex carb foods (for example, brown rice over white rice) and overall, you shouldn't feel as if you're dieting. That's a good thing, because when you're not starving, you'll be more likely to stay on your diet.
