Medium Glycemic Index List of Foods

Here’s your FREE Glycemic Index Chart of Medium Glycemic Index Foods.

Medium Glycemic Index Foods

The glycemic index list of foods below are considered to be medium glycemic index foods.

Their G.I. rate (the speed with which they effect rise in blood sugar and insulin release) ranges anywhere from 56 to 69.

There may be some slight differences in Glycemic Index List ratings depending upon different factors (sources used, etc.).

In some cases the G.I. ratings were estimated (highest + lowest range) but it’s again safe to say that these foods fall well within their respective GI limits and can be considered to be relatively good choices that will help reduce belly fat.


Medium Glycemic Index Foods - How to Lose Belly Fat Fast!

Eliminate white foods out of your diet like white pasta, white rice, white flour, white sugar, and white potatoes.

Replace those foods with whole grain pasta, brown rice, whole grain flour, yams, and use xylitol or stevia as sweeteners.

Be sure to eat protein at every meal.

Choose the majority of your foods from the Low Glycemic Index List of Foods and incorporate medium GI foods from the glycemic index list below VERY sparingly!

High glycemic foods are best avoided altogether, especially if you want to lose belly fat fast or at the very least, enjoy them only as a very occasional treat and ALWAYS with a protein to lessen their effect on blood sugar.

High glycemic foods are the worst offenders for spiking insulin levels and encouraging fat storage.


The Glycemic Index List doesn’t include Proteins and Fats

Proteins and fats have no carbohydrate content and therefore have no effect on insulin levels or insulin secretion.

These include:

Meat (beef, chicken, pork, lamb, veal), Fish, Eggs, Fats and Oils and some Nuts.
