Part- 2 Carbohydrates are our main /chief energy source meeting between 40-50 per cent of our energy requirements or levels .Some carbohydrates are better for us than other fast carbohydrates, raise blood sugar levels and raises the production of insulin.(hormone which stores fat.) Carbohydrates are good for stamina and are the best energy for working muscles. Carbohydrates are essential to keep the brain working too and help improve performance and avoid injury. Carbohydrates contain glucose and, as the body breaks them down for energy, the glucose in carbohydrates enters the bloodstream.
Carbohydrates are the body's best fuel source. The glycaemic index(GI) is a guide to how to rate carbohydrates according to how quickly they are absorbed or sucked in and raise the glucose level of the blood. Food and drinks provide our body with fuel in the form of fat, protein, carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the body's preferred or fuel of choice source.
The glycemic load (GL) is a concept or topic that builds on GI as it takes into account both the GI of the food and the amount of carbohydrate in a portion .GL is based on the idea that a high GI food eaten in small amounts would give the same effect on blood glucose levels as bigger quantities of a low GI food. GL is easily estimated by multiplying the GI by the number of grams of carbohydrate in a serving of food.
Carbohydrate-containing foods can be rated on the scale as the glycaemic index (GI). This scale classes carbohydrate-containing foods based on their effect on blood sugar levels for a period of time and sometimes about two hours. The GI compares foods that have gram-for-gram the same amount of carbohydrate.
One of the greatest benefits of the low GI diet is you can start the diet at any time, you can start the diet without joining a diet center, buying a special book or heading to a special grocery store.. Eating a low-GI diet is not avoiding carbohydrates but focusing on the more healthful carbohydrates. Eating low GI food helps you conquer these two greatest enemies to weight loss. That's why low GI diet is one of the best weight loss eating plans. Eat high GI foods in smaller amounts or less often. You do not have to avoid all high GI foods, try to eat them with a low or moderate GI food whenever possible.
Eat more beans, lentils and other legumes as they are some of the lowest GI foods. Eat what makes you feel good physically and emotionally. Remember that any diet and health advice that does not recommend lots of fruit and veggies is a fad. Eat a variety of different fruits and vegetables to ensure you are getting plenty of immune-increasing antioxidants, which help fight disease.
