Glycemic Index

A good indication of a food’s likelihood to instigate a sugar rush/crash is the Glycemic Index (GI). The glycemic index is not an indication of good carbohydrates, and bad carbohydrates. The Glycemic Index measures how much your blood glucose increases in the two or three hours after eating. In some instances like immediately after a workout, the insulin spike of a high GI food is preferred. At other times, a low GI food will steady the glucose level, allowing you to feel full, and energized longer. The GI can also be lowered by the ingestion of fats and proteins. The following table indicates the Glycemic Index of some foods.
