How many low glycemic foods you can replace with your present high glycemic foods to help boost your fat loss efforts?
To better understand the Glycemic Index list and how it can help you reduce belly fat read about
The Glycemic Index Chart.
LEVELS OF THE GLYCEMIC INDEX CHART
Meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds and oils have little or no carbohydrate content and therefore have no effect on insulin levels and their secretion, so they’re not included.
Low Glycemic Foods - Eat freely.
0 – 39 - Foods pass into the bloodstream gently and progressively. Their impact is minimal and hardly noticeable.
40 – 55 - These foods impact glucose levels, but are still within acceptable limits.
If you are trying to lose belly fat, I suggest you eat foods that fall into this category.
Keep your fat intake low too – not more than 25% of your daily caloric intake.
Medium Glycemic Foods - Eat sparingly.
56 - 69 - Processed and refined foods fall into this category. Their quick penetration leads to a marked rise in insulin levels.
Once you’ve reached your ideal body weight you can begin to include foods from this category in order to “maintain” your weight.
Again, aim to keep your fat intake to not more than 25% of your daily caloric intake.
High Glycemic Foods - Eat at your own risk!
70 - 79 - The most highly refined foods. Their quick and intense penetration causes a sharp rise in insulin levels and pancreas fatigue.
The foods in this category should be enjoyed as a very occasional treat, otherwise they will sabotage your efforts to lose belly fat.
80 + - Avoid these completely. These “crash and burn” foods create a lightning fast, violent and massive release with maximum insulin secretion into the blood stream creating soaring glucose levels and massive pancreas fatigue.
