What is the  Glycemic Index? 

The Glycemic Index (GI) is one the best tools for fat loss. It measures how quickly foods breakdown into sugar in your bloodstream. High glycemic foods turn into blood sugar very quickly. Starchy foods like potatoes are a good example. Potatoes have such a high GI rating; its almost the same as eating table sugar.

What is the  Glycemic Load (GL)? 

The GI tells you how fast foods spike your blood sugar. But the GI won’t tell you how much carbohydrate per serving you’re getting. That’s where the Glycemic Load is a great help. It measures the amount of carbohydrate in each service of food. Foods with a glycemic load under 10 are good choices—these foods should be your first choice for carbs. Foods that fall between 10 and 20 on the glycemic load scale have a moderate affect on your blood sugar. Foods with a glycemic load above 20 will cause blood sugar and insulin spikes. Try to eat those foods sparingly.

Dr. SEARS' TIPS:

Follow these tips for Fat Busting Meals:

  • Avoid grains, including corn
  • Avoid potatoes and other white foods, like white rice, sugar and salt.
  • Try making protein the focus of each meal. It kicks your metabolism into higher gear. All meats, fish and poultry are the real “guilt-free” foods. The protein will help you handle insulin better, build muscle and repair tissue-all essential for staying lean and preventing diabetes.
  • Snack on nuts and seeds. They are a good source of protein and have Omega 3’s.
  • Avoid processed foods, trans fats, caffeine, and high fructose corn syrup. All increase insulin resistance.
  • Choose vegetables that are low glycemic.
  • Choose fruits such as berries and fruits you can eat with the skin on.
  • Eat a high protein breakfast every morning. It will stabilize your blood sugar and get you off to a good start.
