All Carbs are not Created
Equal The
glycemic index ranks carbohydrates based on their impact
on your blood glucose level. Carbohydrates that break
down quickly, such as cookies and white bread, have the
highest glycemic indexes (G.I.’s), while "smart”
carbohydrates such as vegetables, whole grains, and many
fruits have low G.I.s because they break down slowly,
releasing glucose gradually into your system.
Keeping your blood sugar levels low is both a key
ingredient to weight loss and the secret to long-term
health. Choosing low-G.I. foods can help improve
diabetes control, keep you feeling full longer, and
prolong your physical endurance. |

Questions
and Answers
 |
What does the glycemic
index measure? |
 |
The
glycemic index (G.I.) assigns a value to a food based on
how far and how fast blood sugar rises after it’s eaten.
A high-glycemic food such as white bread is quickly
converted to glucose, causing a spike in blood sugar,
which is followed by a steep dip that the brain
translates into hunger and fatigue. Low-glycemic
foods, in contrast, help the body maintain more
constant blood sugar, and that helps keep the body
supplied with steadyenergy. |

|
Is
the glycemic index similar to the difference between
simple versus complex carbohydrates? |
|
|
Not
at all. Simple carbohydrates were considered bad and
complex ones, good. But our research showed that some
complex carbohydrates such as potatoes raised blood
sugar rapidly, while some simple carbohydrates such as
fruit raised blood sugar more slowly. That led us to
develop the glycemic index as a more precise
way to measure carbohydrates. |

|
How
does glycemic index contribute to weight loss? |
|
|
By
using the glycemic index to identify carbohydrate foods
with
a low impact on blood sugar, foods can be selected that
help maintain energy, postpone hunger, and thus avoid
overeating. Low-glycemic foods have also been shown
to improve blood lipid levels by increasing the
breakdown of fat and increasing the metabolic rate of
fat burning. |

|
|
|
Are
low-glycemic diets safe and effective? |
|
|
A
number of clinical studies have shown that low-glycemic
diets are effective, promote weight loss, and decrease
body fat. Subjects who consumed low-glycemic diets
have been shown to decrease body mass, eat less food,
and lose significantly more weight than those who
ate the same calories from high-glycemic foods.
