Glycemic Impact Diet
The theory behind the glycemic index (GI) is ranking foods and their carbohydrate content on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the amount in which they elevate blood sugar levels after eating. Foods that have a higher GI are foods that are digested quickly and result in higher blood sugar elevations. In contrast, foods that rank low on the GI are digested more slowly, resulting in a gradual increase in blood sugar and insulin levels.

Studies show that low glycemic foods have been shown to improve both glucose and lipid levels in individuals with (type 1 and 2) diabetes. Low glycemic impact diets are beneficial for weight control, because they help control appetite and delay hunger. This diet also slows insulin levels and insulin resistance, both equally important to people suffering from diabetes.

Understanding the glycemic index will help when choosing foods that will work specifically to a diet that you are comfortable with. The Glycemic Index is the only science based diet that is proven to help individuals loose weight, and maintain a healthy weight, while developing a lifetime of healthy eating habits that can protect against illnesses and disease.

How Glycemic Load is calculated

The formula for calculating glycemic load is simple. Multiply the GI value of a food by the amount of carbohydrate per serving and divide the result by 100.

Calculating the GI load will determine the total glycemic response for that one meal. A normal diet would have 100 GL units per day (range 60-180)

Example:
The Glycemic Index for a can of cola “pop” is 65
There are 39 grams of carbs in 1 can
65x39=2525/100=25.35 Glycemic Load “High”
