Because we tend to de-emphasize grain
intake in our WHFoods recipes and meal plans, and because we generally tend to emphasize
intake of low
glycemic index foods that have limited to moderate amounts of available
carbohydrates, we set a WHFoods recommendation level of 225 grams for total
carbohydrate — about 10 % higher than the low end of the range recommended by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in its discussion of Dietary Reference
Intakes.
Carbohydrate intake during prolonged cycling minimizes effect of
glycemic index of preexercise meal.
These trends may be explained in part by the yo - yo effects that high
glycemic - index
carbohydrates have on blood glucose, which can stimulate fat production and inflammation, increase overall caloric
intake and lower insulin sensitivity, says David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children's Hospital Boston.
Patients may be encouraged to reduce their
intake of
carbohydrates that have a high
glycemic index.
Ideally, about 75 percent of your
carbohydrate intake should come from non-starchy veggies and low -
glycemic fruits.
That is why decreasing total caloric
intake by 3000 calories per week, which is a moderate cut, and eating mostly low -
glycemic carbohydrates, whilst consuming a lot of protein, will increase the time period during which the body will continue to burn body fat.
When you restrict your
carbohydrate intake to less than 50 grams daily, you can still fit in plenty of nonstarchy vegetables, maybe some low -
glycemic (meaning they don't bump your blood sugar) blueberries and other berries, and a small amount of non-gluten grains like quinoa (actually a seed and complete protein).
Although
carbohydrate intake is the first determinant of the postprandial
glycemic response, a great variability has been reported in the individual answers related to
carbohydrate and starch type (amylose vs. amylopectin), food preparation methods (cooking procedures, heating), fasting time, pre-prandial glucose level, macronutrients distribution, insulin doses and resistance level [36].
Studies are still lacking into the proper dietary treatment of PCOS but the majority of the evidence suggests that a moderate
intake of low -
glycemic index
carbohydrates balanced with healthy fats and lean protein are the keys to managing PCOS.
Unless you have a clear and present reason to cut carbs (such as doing the TWT because you have observed signs and symptoms of
carbohydrate intolerance), it is more important to reduce the
glycemic index of the
carbohydrates you eat than to dramatically reduce your
carbohydrate intake.
In order to increase your insulin sensitivity (decrease insulin resistance) you should: eat low —
glycemic carbohydrates, make exercise part of your lifestyle, eat your omega 3 fatty acids, increase your fiber
intake, avoid trans fat, limit fructose consumption, avoid fast food, go high in protein, flavor higher carb food with cinnamon, turmeric, or fenugreek, get enough magnesium, avoid eating late at night, get enough sleep, eat more vegetables, etc..
The GI is entirely based on the quality of
carbohydrates and sugars you are
intaking, not the quantity (although if you want to include portion control as well you can look at
Glycemic Load (GL) of foods, looking for levels < 20).
Try to limit your
intake of high
glycemic carbohydrates like pasta, white rice and white bread.
A prospective study of dietary
glycemic load,
carbohydrate intake, and risk of coronary heart disease in US women
Carbohydrate intake and biomarkers of
glycemic control among US adults: the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).
The method of increasing dietary pulse
intake while maintaining caloric balance between the study arms differed across protocols: 15 trials replaced non — dietary pulse
carbohydrates (e.g., bread products, canned spaghetti, oat bran), 5 trials replaced animal protein, 3 trials emphasized dietary pulse
intake to achieve a low -
glycemic diet, and 3 did not specify the method.
The remaining articles were divided into two categories: specific
carbohydrate interventions; and high
glycemic versus low
glycemic carbohydrate,
intake and satiety factors.
In the Diet, Obesity, and Gene (Diogenes) Project, increased protein consumption together with a modest reduction in
glycemic index was beneficial for weight control.49 Substituting protein for
carbohydrate also partly resulted in lower blood pressure, improved lipids levels, and concomitantly reduced cardiovascular risk.50 Higher vitamin D
intake might have beneficial effects on the reduction of visceral adipose tissue51 and other cardiovascular risk factors52.
Dr. Lupton informed the Committee that she had organized the Subcommittee's nine research questions into five categories: 1)
carbohydrate intake and obesity; 2) whole grains versus refined grains; 3) the significance of added sugars to health; 4)
carbohydrate intake and disease — specifically coronary heart disease and diabetes, and the related issue of
glycemic response; and 5) the overall significance of fiber in the diet.
Glycemic index ranks carbohydrates according to their effects on blood glucose concentrations, and glycemic load is calculated from glycemic index, carbohydrate content, and actual or estimated intake of foo

However, any influence that refined
carbohydrates has on mood could be commensurate with their proportion in the overall diet; studies are therefore needed that measure overall
intakes of
carbohydrate and sugar,
glycemic index (GI), and
glycemic load.
Although our primary exposures of interest were GI and
glycemic load as risk factors for depression, we also investigated other measures of
carbohydrate consumption computed from average daily
intakes of foods and beverages reported on the WHI FFQ, including dietary added sugar, total sugars, specific types of sugars (glucose, sucrose, lactose, fructose), starch, and total
carbohydrate.
