Scenario 2: Slow-Car, Low- to Medium-Gl Carbohydrates

Unlike high-GI carbohydrates that zoom into the blood stream and cause dramatic blood sugar fluctuations, insulin secretion and weight gain, low- to medium-GI carbohydrates enter the bloodstream at a slower rate. This is because these nutrient-dense foods contain an abundant amount of fiber which acts as brakes and slows down the speed of entry. For example, if you eat high-quality carbohydrates such as broccoli, spinach, whole-grain bread, chickpeas or berries, these foods trickle into the bloodstream at a speed that does not trigger the “bell” in the pancreas to start over-secreting insulin. Instead, your body secretes an appropriate amount of insulin to deal with the blood sugar (glucose) available. With the appropriate amount of blood sugar secreted, episodes of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) do not occur. The result? Sustained energy, hormonal balance, weight loss and a diet filled with disease-preventing foods.
