Using the Glycemic Index for
Metabolic Balance

Choosing foods lower on the glycemic
index at each meal will result in:
Controlled blood sugar
 Controlled insulin release
 Better overall metabolic balance


Quality Versus Quantity

For carbohydrate foods – the quality
matters as well as the quantity for
optimal metabolic balance

Balance
Using the Glycemic Index to Achieve
Balance
Top to Low GI foods
These foods support normal blood sugar levels
and an optimal insulin response:
 Apples
Oatmeal
 Berries and cherries
Green pea
 Grapefruit
Tomatoes
 Legumes (lentils, beans, peanuts)
 Nuts (almonds, walnuts, soy nuts
 Unsweetened plain yogurt
Top to High GI Foods
These foods can produce harmfully high blood
sugar levels and a high insulin response.
Candy
Breakfast cereals
Cookies
Sweetened soda
Juices with added sugar
Sweet snacks
White potatoes
White bread

beets, red/yukon gold potatoes, winter squash)
Quantity of Protein
Quantity of protein:
It depends on how much you are working out, it
depends on your age, height, weight and how
your body metabolizes carbohydrates.
You also want to take a look at whether or not you
are insulin resistant or even hypoglycemic.
Quantity of Fats
At least 4-6 added fats a day!
You do need healthy fats added to your diet!
Your brain is 75% fat, so if you are not
fueling your brain with good fats then this
could create problems down the road!
-dementia
mitochondrial dysfunction
-low energy
-brain fog
