Glycemic Index List of High Glycemic Foods
Here’s a free Glycemic Index Chart of common high glycemic foods. Their G.I. rate (the speed with which they effect rise in blood sugar and insulin release) measure from 70 and up. These are the foods that will pack on the belly fat and sabotage your best efforts to lose weight! 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). High glycemic foods are the worst offenders and 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 struggling to reduce belly fat!
Quick Weight Loss Tips: There’s nothing wrong with having high glycemic foods once in a while and as a very occasional treat . 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.
Which are the best Low Glycemic Index Diet Plans? I’m a believer in both a low carbohydrate (not ‘NO’ carbohydrate) diet plan and a low glycemic index diet plan to help one to lose weight (and especially to reduce belly fat) successfully. The G.I. Diet and The South Beach Diet are two excellent examples of an effective low glycemic index diet. 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.
