Choosing low GI carbs - the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels - is the secret to long-term health reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss.
The glycemic index takes carbohydrates to the next level - from the amount of carbs a product contains to the impact that the carb level will have on a person's weight and energy.
Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends eating a high-carb diet with 50% of each day's calories coming from carbohydrates… but remember: not all carbs are the same. A lot of starchy foods have a high GI. Choose medium and low GI foods more often.
