Glycemic Guide

Low glycemic foods can help to balance blood sugar, increase energy, and improve weight loss.  Use this glycemic guide as a tool for slowing the rate of your insulin response and keeping your blood sugar in a manageable range throughout the day.

Go for Low

Changing your diet to include low glycemic food has numerous health benefits.  When you feed your body like a well oiled machine it rewards you with a balanced and happy life!  A low glycemic response to food means a slow release of sugar into your bloodstream.  With low glycemic food we protect our body from high blood sugar and a possible future of diabetes.

High carbohydrate - low fiber foods send a sugar release into the bloodstream that requires a quick insulin response. Excess sugar is converted to fatty acids and stored as triglycerides in our fat cells.  When our cells get fat.... we get fat! By reducing our blood sugar levels during the day we reduce our insulin response and our body becomes more efficient at burning stored fat as fuel.  

We can become a fat burning machine!

Who wouldn't want these benefits?
