What is the single most important thing you can do for your health? Avoiding “sugary†food like sodas is a great start to a healthier you. But some foods (like French fries, breads, and cereals) quickly convert to sugar during digestion. Knowing the glycemic values of the foods you eat puts you right on the cutting edge of your own healthcare. Biomarkers (like LDL, HDL and A1C) measure our health. Food Biomarkers called Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) show us how our body responds to different foods. This response is at the heart of an endless list of diseases -- and can guide us on a new path to optimum health.
The World Health Organization endorses using glycemic values in selecting foods, but many health professionals consider GI and GL too complicated to use in their clinical practice….It is easier to prescribe a pill for each symptom than to teach patients how to use this life-changing information.
This translates into not listing GI and GL values on our packaged food products and not including these important values in our national nutrient database files.
So it is up to the consumer to figure it out on their own.
In this groundbreaking guide, the first of its kind, Ms. Lickus brings you these key glycemic values for foods born in the USA.
CHEAT SHEET SIMPLY for USA FOODS provides a revolutionary layout of nutrition information for foods born in the USA. This powerful, time-saving reference puts the glycemic values you need all in one place -- right at your fingertips. Here’s how it works:
Five tables display over three hundred seventy five foods. Each table is twenty eight pages long, and organizes foods based on a specific characteristic of their effect on your metabolism. You’ll quickly learn the USA foods with the least carbohydrates, the lowest glycemic index, the lowest glycemic load, and the most fiber - because they are right at the top of these tables! But that's not all.
The fifth table lists foods alphabetically and into basic food groups. This section makes it easy for you to see and compare the way different preparation and serving methods affect how your body processes carbohydrates…leading to better health.
