Many nutritionists agree that when trying to slim down and get rid of the few extra pounds that bother us, it can be particularly strategic to take an interest in the glycemic index of what we consume. This is, as we learn Current wifefrom “sweetness of a food or drink”. The higher this is, the more likely it is to raise blood sugar levels and therefore lead to weight gain.. This insulin peak causes the storage of sugars in the form of fat in addition to awakening the feeling of hunger, responsible for cravings. It is in this sense that it is advisable to pay attention to it, by trying to favor foods and drinks with a low glycemic index which will make it possible to limit the rise in sugar in the blood.
A glycemic index is said to be high when it is above 60.knowing that it varies from 0 to 100. As an example, the GI of soda generally oscillates around 70.
What drinks have the lowest glycemic index?
Drinks with a low glycemic index include:
- Tea it does not matter whether it is black, green or white, but also herbal teas simply do not contain any carbohydrates. Their glycemic index is therefore equivalent to 0, provided of course that you consume it without adding sugar.
- It’s the same for coffee, which in its most basic form, without milk, cream or sugar, has a zero glycemic index. The same cannot be said for all milk drinks such as cappuccinos, macchiatos and others, whose GI can reach 50, depending on the preparation.
- L’IG you lait is also intended to be relatively low, around 30 for semi-skimmed milk and 27 for whole milk.
- On the juice side, the most interesting in terms of glycemic index is certainly tomato juice which contains very few carbohydrates, since it has a GI of 38, when it is rather around 50 for other fruit juices.
- Les sodas lightalthough not necessarily recommended for health because of the many sweeteners they contain, are on the other hand actually very low in carbohydrates, since they often have a zero or almost zero GI.
- Well, that seems logical, but the water It also obviously displays a zero GI, since it does not contain carbohydrates. Beware, however, of the flavored versions which, on the other hand, are indeed sweet.
