Glycemic Index

[457utube]

Hi hi! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend lost a ton of weight with it.

[bcdoula]

It sure helped me. I've lost 40 pounds since March of this year and it was really easy and I eat basmati and/or brown rice every day and I no longer have any meds for Type 2 diabetes.

[Mandy86lynn]

isnt seeds & nuts a good way to get vitamin E?

[Rob1963]

Yes they are. I left more information on your channel.

[1ex1uger]

Good video. I LITERALLY learned about the Glycemic Index for the 1st time yesterday!

To counter-balance your advice somewhat, you don't have to AVOID foods that are high on the GI (whole wheat bread, corn, carrots, wild rice - none of which are heavily processed, mind you) to prevent a blood sugar spike; all you have to do is slow down the rate of carbohydrate digestion by incorporating protein, fiber, or fat with your meal of foods high on the GI index.

[1ex1uger]

For instance, I LOVE to eat whole wheat bread; by eating it with peanut butter, I avoid a spike in blood sugar (PB contains high levels of protein and mostly healthy fats - both of which slow down the digestion process).

US corporations stick sugar in food , because it just makes more and more hungry and you end up eating more and more. Same with soda, bread and even MEAT. It's disgusting.

[1ex1uger]

Absolutely true. Added sugar is bad, but HFCS / High-Fructose Corn Syrup / glocose-fructose is easily the worst kind of added sugar in terms of spiking blood sugar levels and causing people to eat more. Whenever possible, avoid buying foods which contain HFCS. This is difficult, as even most varieties of whole wheat bread (i.e. dempsters, wonder bread) contain HFCS. That's why I eat whole wheat bread made by Dimpflmeier, which contains ZERO SUGAR!

[Tihbialdunav]

@1ex1uger , exactly, dear. I don't understand why people in US eat that Wonderbread. It tastes like a sugary sponge. Thank God Whole Foods is everywhere these days so we can get the real deal bread. :-)

I just heard about chana dal a bean from India, supposed to be one of the lowest g.i. foods you can get. I can't wait to try it.

[policeman1313]

Put supplementation in your email title? That just makes it sound like junk lol :P Great video btw.

[chloeking88]

the low gi diet is good, but i think ur better staying away from rice altogether. try bulgur wheat..its really good..better then rice. and drink green tea also good, and you will feel so much better!

[Rob1963]

thanks for the comment. Yes, rice seems to be somewhat of a sticking point for some people. Do what works best for you, and thanks for the ideas. I've never tried bulgur wheat, does that have gluten, some people are gluten intolerant.

[1ex1uger]

Eat non-white rice (i.e. brown, wild) with high-protein items like lean chicken and you'll be fine. The chicken's high levels of protein will prevent a spike in blood sugar.

Eating rice is only unhealthy if it's the only thing you eat in a meal. If rice was unconditionally unhealthy, there would be high rates of obesity and diabetes in Asian countries.

[HammondB3TipsDotCom]

@chloeking88 I've recently discovered a low GI substitute for rice and it's called quinoa and it's really tasty!

[ernietube1]

At last American Diabetics Association has recognized the importance of keeping blood sugar levels within "normal" limits.

It is a pity they seem to basically rely on medication in preference to diet control. An important therapeutic goal in type 2 diabetes is to achieve and to maintain near-normal glycemia (hemoglobin A1c level < 7.0%).

I assume that a combination of a low carb diet and some back-up medication may be optimal.

[1ex1uger]

I disagree re: going on low-carb diets. Carbs are important for everyone's diet - especially for people who are athletic and need to maintain / repair working muscles.

Please read my other comments re: this video for more information about what works for me - and people in more healthy countries throughout the world.

[Tihbialdunav]

@1ex1uger , it's simple carbs that lead to obesity, diabetes, heart and kidney failure et, NOT COMPLEX carbs like the ones in fruits or high- quality bread. In fact as a European I can tell you I am appalled at the amount of SUGARY snacks American eat-sugar is reason NUMBER 1 why Americans are ssssso repulsively fat.

[1ex1uger]

@Tihbialdunav

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. I agree that it is crucial for people to distinguish between simple carbs and complex carbs if they want to take good care of their health.

@1ex1uger

"[A] problem associated with low carbohydrate, high-protein eating is that it makes it harder to exercise effectively. That has to do with glycogen, a form of carbohydrate stored in the muscle and liver, and a primary source of fuel for exercise. If you don't have much glycogen left (which can easily occur if you are exercising on a low carbohydrate diet), you're not going to be able to exercise to the best of your ability or, as a result, burn very many calories."

LMAO!.. that was funny!.. "eat pig" lol!

A recent study just released may be of interest

The New England Journal of Medicine

Volume 359:229-241 July 17, 2008 Number 3

Weight Loss with a Low-Carbohydrate, Mediterranean, or Low-Fat Diet

[Rob1963]

there have also been many reputable studies on a low glycemic diet

[ernietube1]

Please refer to my video-

GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

Just enter this in SEARCH box.

[Rob1963]

redundant means you had two comments in a row that said the same thing. I deleted one of them

[capricious71]

Every list of GI foods seems to be different (sometimes very different).

Low GI works for me, though. I'm not diabetic but hypoglycemia has made me depressed.

[mtnprivy]

Brown rice is NOT LOW GI. Basmati rice IS LOWER GI. If the rice is high in amylose, then the GI is lower. If the rice swells easily, and sticks together at some point, then it is high GI. Most rices are not good. This is according to the GInews out of sydney aust. They are major research university on GI. Look up the GI news and search under brown rice.

[Rob1963]

I researched this prior to maknig the video and brown rice according to many sources, including Glycemic Index International Standards of 2002

Brown (Canada) 21

Brown, USA) 16

Calrose brown 33

Doongara brown 24

Parboiled,20 min, UncleBen's 23

Bottom line, the high and the low here are 16 to 33. well within the low GI range. Bastami is also low GI , you are correct there, Most people have easy access to brown and this video is an introduction to a low GI Diet. thanks

[ernietube1]

Please refer to my video-

GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

The big problem with cooked rice is the GI varies greatly with cooking conditions. Fully cooked rices, no matter what variety, all have a high GI.

[penncity]

Wow, lots of info. Thanks!

[Tahitianpearl75]

I have tried many different diets but the low-GE-method

1 ) worked without torturing myself

2 ) really made sense to me (it is scientifically proven)

Even the better in combination with sport activity.

[EdZep123]

There's more to it than this, too. Low blood sugar causes numerous psychological problems like depression and alcoholism. Low GI is the way forward for sure.
