Question by kelleemoore: what are low glycemic index foods?
Best answer:
Answer by FitGuy
The glycemic index or GI ranks carbohydrate (sugars and starches) according to their effect on blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion have high GI values. Carbohydrates that break down slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream, have low GI values.
Some low GI foods are:
Bran cereal
Apples
Carrots
Chick peas
Grapes
Green peas
Kidney beans
Nopal
Oranges
Peaches
Peanuts
Pears
Red lentils
Strawberries
Sweet corn
