I agree with this. The foods with higher thermic effect gives better effect. The regular foods with high thermic effect in my diet are shrimps, chicken breast, eggs, Greek yogurt, cashews, almonds, jalapenos , orange bell pepper, sweet potatoes, plums, banana, berries, apples.

After reading the related GI & GL, basically for all the refined carbs( flour & rice ) products need to be reduced in the daily meal intakes if the work nature is not labor intensive type.
