NOTES
The Glycemic Index
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates with a low GI value (55 or less) are more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolized and cause a lower and slower rise in blood glucose and, therefore usually, insulin levels.
There are three classifications for GI:
Individual food portion:
Low: 55 or less
Moderate: 56 – 69
High: 70+
