[QUOTE="Paul59, post: 711690, member: 128625"] Blood sugar requires insulin to process it. When there is too much sugar in your blood, eventually the pancreas, the organ that makes insulin, gets tired and stops responding. This creates a condition called insulin resistance. Blood sugar that cannot be processed gets stored as fat and that can cause unwanted weight-gain. consider foods with a glycemic load under 10 as the best choice. Foods that fall between 10 and 30 are not bad, but you should eat them with caution. Foods above 30 should be eaten sparingly. It’s a good idea to replace these foods with protein. Low GI diets have been associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, depression, and several cancers. Another benefit of eating foods with a low GL is that you will naturally lose fat and get a leaner, slimmer body. This way you can be bathing-suit-ready all year round. Here's 1 list of many to help you choose what's best to eat.
