Low Glycemic Load Diet Studies show those foods which have the greatest impact on blood sugar levels are carbohydrate foods; however, certain carbohydrates have more of an impact on blood sugar than others. Slow-acting carbs only cause a slight increase in blood sugar. Fast-acting carbs, on the other hand, are converted very quickly to glucose by the body, causing blood sugar levels to rise and fall rapidly, which has serious health consequences. One way used to measure how carbohydrate foods affect blood sugar levels is by a food's Glycemic Load. What is Glycemic Load Glycemic Load is a further development of the Glycemic Index. Glycemic Load takes this one step further and using the Glycemic Index of a food, determines whether foods contain slow-acting or fast-acting carbs based on a standard serving of that food. Eating a Low Glycemic Load Diet Those following a low Glycemic Load Diet eat controlled portions, restrict calories, and opt for foods that are low Glycemic Load. According to Dr.

Sweet potato & pear soup with sage My favorite thing about cooking is when things come out of nothing. After the holidays, we had an empty fridge, empty countertops… contents of a meal (or even a snack) nowhere in sight. I had a pear that was on the verge of way-too-ripe, half an onion… and then I noticed a sweet potato that I never remembered buying. I’ve seen recipes for butternut squash soup with pears, so I figured this would work just as well. The result was a rich & creamy warming meal. INGREDIENTS:Serves 3-4 (or up to 6 as a starter or side) adapted from Sassy Radish 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 medium onion, diced 1 large garlic clove, minced 1 teaspoon garam masala 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1 large sweet potato (or enough to equal just shy of 1 pound) 1 ripe pear, peeled and chopped 3 cups water 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste 1/4 cup coconut milk (I used regular, light would also work) 4 sage leaves METHOD:Preheat oven to 400.
Perfect Iced Coffee Iced coffee is my life. When I wake up, often around the time party animals on the west coast are just heading home, I start each day not with a cup of freshly brewed hot java, but with a tall, blessed glass of creamy iced coffee in a glass. I’ve been an iced coffee freakazoid for years and years. Iced coffee is a complicated thing, and there are many different approaches. 1. Given the previous set of facts, one would assume that the logical solution would be to brew hot coffee, then transfer the brew to the fridge, allow it to cool, and use it to make iced coffee from there. There are reasons this method results in a smoother, richer, more delicious concentrate than simply brewing strong coffee and refrigerating it. (Note: I’ve totally adapted/tweaked coffee/water amounts to suit my own tastes. I start with a big ol’ container. You can use a big bowl, a large pitcher…even a really clean bucket will work if you’re going for a huge quantity. Rip open a pound of ground coffee. Glorious.
