Why do certain high protein, low carb foods have low glycemic index but HIGH INSULIN INDEX? This idea perplexes me. Here's a quote from Wikipedia that I am having trouble grasping: "Rather than relying on blood glucose levels, the Insulin Index is based upon the insulin response to various foods, and seems to be more promising than either the Glycemic Index or the Glycemic Load. The primary reason for this is that certain foods (e.g., lean meats and proteins) seem to cause an insulin response despite there being no carbohydrates present. Additionally, other foods seem to cause a disproportinate insulin reaction for its carbohydrate load."

How can I prepare dried red beans so they will have a lower glycemic index? According to glycemicindex.com, red kidney beans are reported as having glycemic indexes of 25, 36, 43, and 51, depending on the study. I want to end up with beans closer to the lower end of that. I've read that, in general, the less processing and cooking a food undergoes, the lower its glycemic index will be. The instructions on the package of beans says to soak overnight, then simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. Can I change this preparation method in some way (soaking time, simmering time, etc) to lower the glycemic index, while still ending up with good taste and texture? Thanks Nikki: So, with your method, there's no pre-soaking involved at all?

Glycemic Index Question? I'm confused on how my professor worded this on the homework assignment. I'm familiar with the glycemic index. I also know that a lower glycemic index is better for you. When he says 'Least Favorable' does he mean the choice with the highest glycemic index (since lower is more favorable?) So far, I think it's baked potato. Baked potatoes are pretty starchy and high on the GI. However, I might be misinterpeting the question. Any suggestions are appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------- In a person with type 2 diabetes, which of the following foods would ordinarily promote the LEAST favorable glycemic effect? a. chocolate b. ice cream c. baked potato d. baked beans

How many Glycemic Index "points" should you consume in a day in order to lose weight? I've heard of the Glycemic Index diet, that the lower the GI the food has, the quicker you lose weight and the easier it is to stay healthy. What is the appropriate amount of GI to consume in a day?

For diabetes and hypoglycemia: what is the difference between the glycemic index vx. glycemic load of foods? I've been studying the glycemic index to find low carbohydrate foods that metabolize slowly. I'm not diabetic, but with hypoglycemia I know that I could become diabetic. I'm confused now by the conflicting information I'm getting about the glycemic index not being a true indicator of how our blood sugar levels respond to carbohydrates. For instance, carrots supposedly have a higher GI rating than most vegetables, but react differently in our bloodstream than the same amount of carbs from refined bread or sugar would. Any information would be greatly appreciated. By the way, hypoglycemia is not a problem for me, I rarely experience it since I have avoided sugary foods for years.
Which bread is low to medium glycemic? I am reading this weight loss book on the Glycemic Index (I have an insulin imbalance). The book says I can eat Sourdough bread (the acid neutralizes the sugar by 30%) and other low to medium glycemic breads. So, it has to be under 60 or so on the glycemic scale. Is there a decent tasting bread out there that will fall under this category? I am not a fan of Sourdough. Where is it written on the nutrition label? I have never seen it before.
What do you think is a better "cheat" on a low carb diet -- grapefruit or popcorn? I'm doing the Atkins diet, and I have been for about 3 years. I only had 15 pounds to lose to begin with, but to keep it off, I have to say at around 30 carbs per day. WELL, lately I've been craving 2 things, and I don't know why: grapefruits and popcorn! It's either 1 WHOLE pink grapefruit or about 2 cups (measured) of popped pop corn with olive oil and butter on it. Which do you think is less bad of a cheat? Which has a lower glycemic index? Thanks so much for any immediate help! I'm soooooooo hungry and I'm craving these!!! THANK YOU! Thanks for all the replies so far! Please keep them coming!!! RE: "You've had no fruit for 3 years? How are you getting your vitamins?" Well, I'm allergic to almost all fruits (except for blueberries, blackberries and grapefruits), so it hasn't been difficult to stay away. I get my vitamins from veggies, which have more nutritional value (for the most part) than fruits anyway. :)

Any low GI dessert ideas? I find it impossible to find any low GI (glycemic index) dessert ideas. I am insulin resistant, and my blood glucose goes up very easily and quickly, so it is impossible for me to eat even "sugar free" type desserts and treats, because they are all high in other things like wheat flour and corn syrup that make blood sugar go up. If anyone has any links, recepies they made themselves, or any other info, it'd be really appreciated. Thanks!
Does anyone have a good source of glycemic index and load values? I am looking for a complete list of glycemic index and load values.
