Glycemic Index List of High Glycemic Foods
Getting a fat belly? Watch out for these high glycemic foods!
Ladies, here’s a free Glycemic Index Chart of the most commonly known "worst offender" foods classified as high glycemic foods. Their G.I. rate (the speed and measure with which they effect a rise in blood sugar and insulin release) measure from 70 and up. WARNING! Over indulging in these foods daily will expand your waist circumference, increase overall fat storage and ultimately sabotage your best efforts in getting rid of belly fat! High glycemic foods are NOT good choices if you’re trying to lose weight – they actually encourage fat storage. They’re best avoided altogether, especially if you’re already struggling to lose that stubborn bellyfat!
Important Tips for Getting Rid of Belly Fat - Permanently
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 free glycemic index chart I’ve put together -
Low Glycemic Index List of Foods
The foods on this list should account for the majority of your daily carbohydrate intake. Also, you can incorporate some foods from the
Medium GI Foods List,
but VERY sparingly! High glycemic foods are the worst offenders for spiking insulin levels and encouraging fat storage – especially bellyfat. There’s nothing wrong with having high glycemic foods once in a while and as a very occasional treat - just be sure to eat them with a protein or a healthy fat.
Protein and healthy fats act as a ‘buffer’ and help to slow down or at least reduce the dramatic effect on blood sugar and insulin levels from high glycemic foods.

There may be some slight differences in G.I. depending upon different factors (sources used, etc.). In some cases the G.I. counts were estimated (highest + lowest range). 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. (Bear with me...I'm terrible at making charts!) =)
