Glucose, insulin, GI - links of one chain
To begin with, we will understand what is happening in the body and what we can do to prevent excess body fat. The amount of glucose, or more simply sugar, contained in foods that enters the bloodstream after eating is called the Glycemic Index (GI). To break down this sugar, insulin enters the digestive process. All that insulin has not “decomposed” into the cells of the body, is deposited in various places, giving us a lot of grief. It is on whether the high or low Glycemic Index of a product depends on how much sugar goes into the bloodstream with food.
It used to be that if a product is sweet, then it’s caloric, respectively. However, bread has a higher GI than ice cream. Now it is proved that GI can be successfully reduced in products with a high content, which will automatically make them less caloric. And if you choose foods with low GI for food, you can not only reduce weight, but also maintain it effortlessly.
Food as an Increased Source of Stress
When a person eats a product with high GI, a large amount of insulin is immediately released into the blood. And insulin is a stress hormone, for this reason the body reacts rapidly - it stores fat in reserve. Insulin can behave aggressively, not allowing the necessary enzymes to break down fat. You can literally disappear in the gym, and the arrow of the scales does not flinch. The paradox also lies in the fact that after eating foods with high GI, after a short period of time, you again begin to literally die of hunger. And the stress hormone makes you want high-calorie foods.
According to medical statistics, people with obesity have an increased level of insulin in their blood. Absolute champions among products with high GI are: white bread, sugar - 100, potatoes - 95, beer and dates - as much as 110 and 103, respectively. If you eat foods with low and medium GI, up to 55, you can reduce and not gain weight. Such products include fish and meat, the GI in them is close to zero.
