Consult a Glycemic Index
chart and you will be surprised to discover that certain
foods such as bread, potatoes and pasta which contain dense
carbohydrates will raise your blood sugar level the same at eating pure refined sugar.
Coconut milk, avocado, salad dressing, steak and peanut butter are off the
charts and can't be included in any diet that conforms to the
Food Pyramid unless combined with
foods very high in
carbohydrate and low in fat such as bread and pasta.
