Glycemic Index vs. Glycemic Load. Thanks to the low-carb craze and the rise in adult-onset diabetes, “glycemic index” is swiftly becoming a household phrase.

Glycemic Index vs. Glycemic Load

The glycemic index of a food is the measurement of the effects of the carbohydrates in the food on blood glucose levels. But do you really know what it means? Supposedly, foods that score high on the glycemic index should be avoided because they promote higher insulin levels. Increased insulin in the bloodstream, of course, makes your body stop burning fat as a fuel and store excess food-energy (calories) as fat.

Common theory supposes that a low glycemic index makes a food good for you, and a high glycemic index makes a food unhealthy. This causes many people to avoid eating fruits & many of the sweeter/starchier vegetables. Steve Cook's Cutting Program.
