How to End the Blood Sugar Rollercoaster Ride




Have you ever eaten a really big yummy meal full of pasta and garlic bread followed by a scrumptious dessert and thought to yourself, "oh my God, I'm so full I'll never have to eat again for a week" then in less than an hours time you find yourself hungry again?

 Yep, me too. I use to think that I was crazy, but come to find out there is a reason for this rapid return of hunger and there is a scale called the Glycemic Index that helps you to understand it and how to prevent it from happening.

Basically, The Glycemic Index is a way to measure how carbohydrates react in your blood. When you eat carbs, your blood sugar levels rise anywhere from a little too a lot. The GI uses a scale of 0-100, with higher numbers given to foods that cause the most rapid rise in blood sugar.

 High GI Foods cause the body to produce higher levels of insulin but sometimes too much. This gives you an energy boost known as a "sugar rush". It feels good at first, but then your blood sugar drops rapidly to lower than normal levels known as a "crash".


**How do you avoid the rollercoaster ride aka the "sugar rush" and "crash" cycle?  By eating foods low on the G.I. scale. Foods that are on the lower end of the G.I. scale help to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels.**

A GI >70 is considered high and some of the foods that have this number include white bread, pretzels, french fries, and most processed foods. Eating these foods triggers a rapid rise in blood sugar and insulin levels, which:

  • Encourages your body to store fat
  • Creates a cycle of hunger pangs and feeling unsatisfied
  • Causes an energy crash that leaves you irritated and tired
  • Can lead to high blood pressure, fluid retention, and diabetes
A GI <55 is considered low and some foods that are included with this score are spinach, oatmeal, peanuts, and Shakeology. Consuming these foods helps to stabilize

blood sugar and insulin levels, which:
  • Increases levels of glycogen, a hormone that causes body fat to be burned
  • Gives you a feeling of satisfied hunger
  • Helps balance moods
  • Reduces the risk of heart disease, helps control diabetes, and positively affects the aging process.
  • Helps with wound healing.
SOME FOODS AND THEIR GI RATINGS
