Mon Coach IG Bas

Whether you want to lose weight, keep the line or simply eat well, this application will be your little personal assistant to help you better choose the foods you put on your plate.
Once the application has been downloaded to your phone, you can take it anywhere with you and consult it without an internet connection (excluding food scanners).

The program offers 4 main sections:

► Items:
This new section was eagerly awaited by my users. This includes explanations of the notions of IG, CG and will expand over time.

► Power supply:
This section includes more than 530 foods, each with its glycemic index (GI when known.
The food sheet contains a lot of information (depending on the food):
• the glycemic load (per 100 g, for one portion, and the maximum recommended portion)
• health benefits
• information on the season and how to choose your fruit or vegetable
• recommendations, tips, alerts, advice…
• nutrients (minerals, vitamins, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, fibre, salt, etc.)
• similar products (eg wheat flour, chickpea flour, rye flour, etc.)
• by-products (eg potatoes, fries, mashed potatoes, crisps)
• "normal" portions
• And many more…

► Recipes:
More than 600 recipes (with glycemic load) will allow you to make good dishes without feeling guilty because they are generally compatible with the main diets with a low Glycemic Index, or are based on the Glycemic Load (low carbs, Paleolithic diet, the Montignac Method , the new GI diet, the new Atkins diet, Doctor Cohen's program, the Weight Watchers point system, recommendations from Professor Jennie-Brand Miller and cardiologist Pierre Nys, ...)

► Food scanner (requires internet connection):
Scan the barcode on the food package to find out what's inside. If the product is referenced on Open Food Facts, the list of ingredients will be retrieved and the glycemic index will be displayed in front of each ingredient, making it easier to detect harmful foods such as E190d (caramel), maltodextrin or even glucose-fructose syrup… The scanner tries to estimate the glycemic index as well as the glycemic load of the scanned food!


Here are some use cases explaining how to use the application:
- You are in a restaurant and you hesitate between a side dish of potatoes or green beans? A quick glance will allow you to make the right choice.
- You do not remember the glycemic index of the apple? The food chart will answer this question.
- Is having an orange juice for breakfast a good idea? This answer can be found in the application
- Do you go shopping and, passing in front of a moussaka, you wonder if it is beneficial for your health? A quick scan of the barcode will bring out any hidden foods that are sometimes harmful to health or weight loss.
- You want to eat well but you don't know what to prepare? More than 600 recipes await you in the application
- You are abroad and your usual applications do not work without internet? No problem, "My Low GI Coach" won't do you any good.

In short, you will have understood it, My Coach IG Bas is the essential application to accompany you everywhere and advise you on good food choices!
