Don't Be Afraid Of Glycemic Index RecipesSome Basics In glycemic index recipes, you'll be cutting down on saturated (or "bad") fats, carbohydrates and foods that can make your blood sugar swing more than a trapeze artist. You'll be eating more fiber, more whole grain foods, more fruits and vegetables, alternative sweeteners (if your doctor says you can handle them) and eating them in better portions. You'll find substitutions for things like saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats. You'll also find substitutions for "white foods", which have a very high rating on the Glycemic Index. These white foods include corn, white bread, white rice and potatoes. It takes a very short time to retrain your taste buds to crave your new diet from glycemic index recipes. Brown rice, for example, tastes almost exactly like white rice. Where To Find Them Your doctor might have some glycemic index recipes already available for you or can recommend where to find them. They are all over the web. There are millions of diabetics and glycemics who rely on glycemic index recipes and so, where there is a demand, there is also a supply. Just enter "glycemic index recipes" into your favorite search engine and you'll be given countless lists of glycemic cooking sites. There are also books out promoting glycemic index recipes. The South Beach Diet, for example, also has a separate South Beach Diet for glycemics. In Conclusion There are only slight alterations you need to make in your cooking habits in order to make glycemic index recipes. The cooking techniques are still the same - you still need to chop, mix, blend, heat and all that good stuff. Many glycemic index recipes are based on "three threes" principle, where one third of your plate will be filled with protein, one third fruit or vegetables and the final third with carbohydrates. Have fun with it. You might find your taste buds more sensitive and receptive to new foods more than ever. Bon appetite. |
