The Glycemic Index Diet For Dummies

Carbohydrate-bashing is all the rage these days. In fact, it often seems like you can锟絫 have a casual conversation without someone mentioning he锟絪 trying to eat low-carb, complaining that she锟絪 addicted to carbs, or whining about how he can never eat potatoes. Somehow carbohydrates are 锟絙ad,锟?and anyone who overindulges in anything that contains even a whiff of carbohydrates is equally 锟絙ad.锟?It锟絪 as if carbs have become their own food group to be avoided!
The thing is, the human body requires carbohydrates to function. Foods contain carbohydrates for precisely that reason. So clearly society needs to get beyond the simple bad carb/good carb classifications and figure out exactly what type of carbohydrate-containing foods help promote health and improve energy levels.
Enter the glycemic index, a scientific method for calculating the way carbohydrates in food act in the body. By giving foods a glycemic number, ranging from 0 to 100, you know at a glance what to expect. Because people rarely at just one food by itself, and because folks tend to eat varying amounts of foods, scientists also came up with the glycemic load. It takes into account all the carbohydrates in foods you eat at one time, along with the amounts of those carbohydrate-containing foods, and calculates a number.
In short, the glycemic index and glycemic load are all about choosing carbohydrate-containing foods wisely and putting them to work for you. This book, in turn, is all about showing you how to use the glycemic index and glycemic load to your advantage in your quest for weight loss and everyday health.
