To burn fat you need to restrict
high glycemic load foods to a level where your body will produce less of the hormone insulin thereby increase the rate of fat burning.
As we've said, there is a very specific time for
high glycemic load carbs — after a crazy workout regimen, and that's it.
Eating
more high glycemic load (GL) foods lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes, whereas eating more moderate and low GL foods did not.
Most experts agree on the fact that in diabetic patients treated with insulin, the substitution of dietary carbohydrates having a high glycemic index or
high glycemic load by complex carbohydrates with lower figures improves the blood glucose control and reduces the hypoglycemic episodes [38].
High levels of dietary carbohydrates, also known
as high glycemic load foods (e.g. sugars and starchy foods such as bread, rice, pasta and potatoes), work with the hormone insulin to «switch off» fat burning and increase fat gain.
High glycemic load from refined carbohydrates was shown to be associated with an increased CHD risk independently of known risk factors in the Nurses» Health Study (51) and was more recently shown to be associated with an increased risk of CHD in a prospective cohort study of > 15,000 middle - aged women (50).
It has a light, powdering consistency, but like many gluten free flours, it is high in carbohydrates and a
very high glycemic load.
Here's the catch:
high glycemic load diets promote diebetes, but so do high animal protein diets, and so does caloric overload.
Within the past 20 y, substantial evidence has accumulated showing that long term consumption of
high glycemic load carbohydrates can adversely affect metabolism and health (71,77,78).
In this study, the researchers investigate whether consumption of fruits and vegetable with a higher fiber content or lower glycemic load is more strongly associated with a healthy weight than consumption of fruits and vegetables with a lower fiber content or
higher glycemic load by analyzing data on weight and diet changes among US men and women enrolled in three large prospective cohort studies set up to examine risk factors for major chronic diseases.
Research has demonstrated that
higher glycemic load foods correspond with higher levels of hsCRP (inflammation) in the bloodstream (7, 8).
The diets were classified by the authors
as high glycemic load (high carb low fat), low glycemic index (e.g., Mediterranean Diet), & low carb (e.g., Atkins Diet).
Table 2 shows that refined grain and sugar products nearly always maintain
much higher glycemic loads than unprocessed fruits and vegetables.
Fructose has
a high glycemic load but a low glycemic index and can cause more cellular damage than glucose.
Studies have shown that diets rich in high glycemic carbohydrates (carbohydrates that convert quickly into sugar in the body) and
high glycemic load carbohydrates (carbohydrates that deliver hefty amounts of sugar per serving) are associated with increased symptoms of depression, mood disturbance and fatigue (studies here, here and here).
High Glycemic Load: 70 - 100: Examples of foods that are rapidly broken down into sugar are white bread and pasta.
Based on more than 16 years of follow - up among 120,000 men and women from three long - term studies of U.S. health professionals, the authors first found that diets with
a high glycemic load (GL) from eating refined grains, starches, and sugars were associated with more weight gain.
One of the most important indicators of addiction was the presence of
a high glycemic load which is a term describing both the amount of refined carbohydrates as well as how quickly they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Strongest heart hurters • Trans fats • High glycemic index foods or
high glycemic load diets • An «American» diet high in meat, dairy, and processed foods
Preference should be given to fruits that are lower in carbs such as berries while fruits with
a higher glycemic load like bananas and tropical fruits can be enjoyed occasionally.
Ovarian Cancer: Some evidence indicates that foods that have
a high glycemic load may boost the risk of ovarian cancer.
The Q5 group had
the highest glycemic load diet and Q1 had the lowest.
If you are not worried about your carb intake or spiking your insulin levels you could add a tablespoon of some stevia or honey (I personally don't go for Agave, I think it's corn syrup disguised as health with
a high glycemic load, but we'll talk about that ish on another day)
One week of reduced carb, one week of Low Glycemic Load carbohydrates, one week of
Higher Glycemic Load, and then a «cheat day» — as shown in the book:
Diets with
a high glycemic load (poison) and also high fibre (antidote) confers no extra risk of type 2 Diabetes.
But
high glycemic load (poison) and low fibre (antidote) increases the risk to 217 % of baseline.
Sucrose has
the highest glycemic load than any of the other sweeteners that people commonly consume (6).
With no fiber to slowly release the fructose, it has
a high glycemic load.
All grains, including whole grains, have
a high glycemic load (often higher than sugary foods).
Agnes, the explanations I read a long time ago (in the 1970s) when I had problems with hypoglycemia were essentially that insulin did too good a job of lowering blood sugar levels that had risen quickly because of ingestion of what we today would call high glycemic index (or, more specifically,
high glycemic load) foods.
Second, had to eliminate many of your fruits due to
their high glycemic load, i.e., too much natural sugar, fructose — totaled about 1/3 of the fruits in your list.
beans are low glycemic index food, but a moderate to
high glycemic load food.
The higher the score a food has
the higher the glycemic load.
We don't see a good reason to eat foods with
a higher glycemic load when foods with a lower glycemic load will quite effectively replenish depleted muscle glycogen.
Evidence from previous studies shows that a diet high in refined starches and added sugars, with
a high glycemic load, worsens the disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism, such as insulin resistance and the lipid triad.
Dr Sinatra continues, «As researchers from Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health noted, quickly digested and absorbed carbs (i.e., those with
a high glycemic load) are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.»
Several large - scale, observational studies from Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) indicate that the long - term consumption of a diet with
a high glycemic load (GL; GI × dietary carbohydrate content) is a significant independent predictor of the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (7, 8) and cardiovascular disease (9).
