20620809 tn?1504362969 Here's a list of low glycemic foods... https://universityhealthnews.com/daily/nutrition/glycemic-index-chart/ The food is listed, along with the serving size in parenthesis, then the glycemic value. The lower the glycemic value, the better. There are a lot of other lists available on the internet - just do a search for "low glycemic foods". Most vegetables "qualify" as low glycemic, except things like white potatoes, etc.
446049 tn?1649005835 You can start by eating low GI foods. Start a log for foods you eat, the amount, and eaten with what. Test your glucose before eating and 2-3 hours after to see how the foods you consumed affected your glucose. Once you have the low GI foods handled, then maybe try some moderate/medium but never in the high range. There are many GI charts listing foods consider low GI that to my body are considered high. Like I stated earlier, what is good for you may not be for the next person.
20931051 tn?1694244079 Low Glycemic Index: Kiwi has a low glycemic index (GI), which means it has a relatively mild impact on blood sugar levels when compared to high-GI foods like white bread or sugary snacks. Fiber Content: Kiwi is rich in dietary fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates. Fiber also promotes a feeling of fullness, potentially reducing overeating.
Avatar n tn Possible diet modifications include replacing simple carbohydrates (eg, soda, candy, white bread, white rice) with foods having a lower glycemic index, and limiting consumption of carbohydrates overall. The glycemic index is a measure of how much a food affects blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes generally results from insulin resistance (may be genetically and environmentally influenced) and the inability of the body to produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar.
5747555 tn?1408727657 Also remember that vegetables are all carbs, so the notion of low carb diets is misleading -- what you really want to do is eat low on the glycemic index and eat what you digest well, but saying all fruit except the bitter ones is bad for you is probably going overboard unless you eat too much of them.
Avatar f tn I do not understand the exact relation between the amount of carbohydrates taken and the glicemic index. Could I eat food of low glicemic index, and still obtain the amount of carbohydrates required daily???? Does high glicemic index means more carbohydrates??? or there is no direct relationship between both???
Avatar m tn d also add to learn about the glycemic index and glycemic loads of foods (glycemicindex.com) and learn to pick and eat foods with a lower index. Every single food you eat is converted to glucose, the trick is eating those that don't spike your system. Proteins, good fats and the right fruits and veggies. (not unlike southbeach) For instance, WaveRider mentioned fruits. Different fruits have different glycemic loads. For instance, apples have glycemic index of ~35-40, which is low.
1645208 tn?1301072177 Heya! With PCOS, you have some cards stacked against you, but that doesn't mean losing weight is impossible. I did a little reading on PCOS, and it looks like the cause of weight gain is insulin resistance, which means sugar and carbohydrates are your enemy. But instead of jumping into a low carb, no sugar diet, I suggest you do some homework first and research foods that have a low glycemic index. These are the foods you want to eat.
Avatar n tn I was wondering how you managed your diabetes and how strict you are with your diet, like do you only eat set meals throughout the day and stay away from foods with a high glycemic index? If you do eat foods with a high GI, like a banana, do you wait a while after taking your insulin to give it a headstart?
Avatar f tn GI = Glycemic Index. A low GI diet is one in which the things you eat will not spike blood sugar levels, but will work to help stabilize them. For instance, eating a piece of candy will spike your blood sugar rather quickly, whereas eating a carrot will not, because of the lower sugar/carb content. Regular pasta will spike your blood sugar more quickly than whole gain pasta because it takes longer to digest the whole grain, so it doesn't go straight to the blood.
176741 tn?1295233989 My favorite commercial foods for dogs are the ones that contain no grains, low glycemic index carbohydrates approximately 25-28% protein and less than 11% fat (even less if your dog has a lot of weight to lose). The fatter the dog the more Atkin's diet-like the diet should be. There are a lot of brands out there and more formula's are literally being added daily. Inova/Evo, Wellness grain-free, and Orijin are good brands, but may be hard to find locally, but are available online.
256553 tn?1258883918 Instead of cutting out carbohydrates, eat high fibre foods as well as low glycemic index foods as they slow the digestion of the body's carbohydrates. Also, eat carbohydrates with fats and proteins as that will also slow the absorption of your food.
Avatar m tn It is a measure of how fast the impact is from carbohydrates. There are on line lists of foods with their glycemic index. There is only so much you can do with diet however. Some doctors are willing to prescribe metformin for prediabetes. You may want to ask about it. It is a safe and very inexpensive drug that has been used for the initial treatment of diabetes for decades.
Avatar m tn it is specially processed to reduce the amount of digestible carbs. It is delicious and has a low glycemic index. I read the other posters re:glycemic index but I disagree with them. I have managed to lower my A1C from a 9.8 to a 6 all with exercise and diet. You can do this, zeppo, and I will be rooting for you!
8369322 tn?1397826669 Rather than sticking to an internet diet, or calculating glycemic index of a potential food, I just chose to avoid anything with a high carbohydrate weight per serving. That stuff was my personal kryptonite and I just steered clear of it. Last year I added strawberries and blueberries to my lunch. I eat them in season just as ancient gatherers would have done. Carbohydrates were seasonal treats; honey, berries, and other fruits were consumed on a seasonal basis.
Avatar m tn Something that amazed me was seeing a glycemic index, and the food at the top was -- get this -- a bagel, above even sucrose! Of course, it was a white four bagel, not one made of whole grain.
1756367 tn?1400884364 g.. complex/simple sugar, high/low glycemic index). Any resources that you would recommend to look up these more complicated nutritional information (glycemic index)? thank you!
Monster re have trouble keeping your levels steady, you should be very careful to keep your diet as low on the glycemic index as you can.
3224201 tn?1380377795 t see protein, fat, or very low carbohydrate foods on the list of foods for glycemic index or glycemic load.  Only carbohydrate foods have a glycemic index and therefore glycemic load , so the other foods you can automatically eat without worrying about them raising your blood sugars. You don't have to cut calories with this type of a lifestyle change, but should eat the number of calories for your ideal weight.
645800 tn?1466860955 White potatoes are one of the worst things you can eat. They are one of the highest things on the glycemic index. I was shocked to find that out.
Avatar f tn If you must add sweetener to your food, try one with a low glycemic index like agave nectar or raw honey. Other sweeteners that contain essential nutrients and have a lower glycemic index than white sugar are molasses, barley malt and sucanat, available in health food stores. Drink plenty of water. 64 ounces per day. Sometimes cravings are a result of thirst. Have a glass of water when you crave sugar, and wait a few minutes to see if the craving goes away.
Avatar n tn The candida diet is basically eating meats and vegetables that are low in carbohydrates or have a low glycemic index. You'll never go hungry, but the first week is definitely the hardest with cravings (for me, anyway). There are a number of variations, but that is the basic foundation. After you get past the first week, you can slowly add carbohydrates back into your diet. I always lose weight when I follow this diet too which is nice.
Avatar f tn Also experiment with combining both of the above with a brisk walk immediately after eating. The exercise may be enough to prevent the spike. If the above don't work, I suggest you try having just fried or scrambled eggs and some veges for breakfast (ie. very low carb), and see if this works. It may turn out that you can't eat oatmeal without going high.
Avatar n tn a low carb high fat diet seemed to work great for me sense fat has no glycemic index and is also a great appetite suppressant it also helped with weight lose , off course you should go for the good natural fats like olive oil , coconut oil, avocado and things like that. Cutting out the carbs from the diet worked wonders, I hope this helps. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I am on low glycemic index diet. I am regularly taking sugar readings. I am taking Humi Insulin R and Humi Insulin N to control my type 2 diabetes. Humiinsulin R acts in 30 min and has maximum effect 2-4 hours. Humiinsulin N acts in 2 hours and has maximum effect in 4-12 hours. Low GI food I take produces rasies sugar in my body slowly and has maximum effect in 2 hours. If I take 500 calories it should raise my sugar level by 330 in two hours.
