On The Glycemic Index Wine Shows No Load ValueAlmost as important to its rating on the glycemic index wine has shown to rank considerably low on the glycemic load. The glycemic index rates how fast carbohydrates enter the flow of blood with pure sugar being the highest at 100. Other carbohydrates join the index at ratings from zero to 100 but just as important is the number of carbohydrates available to be converted into sugar, know as its glycemic load value. On the glycemic index wine shows an index of zero and with a glycemic load of zero would almost seem one of the perfect items for a glycemic index diet. However, the role of alcohol may make any type of spirit have the opposite effect when considering a diet for weight loss. Alcohol Slows Production Of Insulin Many alcoholic beverage, when consumed straight have very few calories and the a low glycemic index wine may seem good as it has no carbohydrate value, considering it is made with a considerable amount of sugar. However other foods low on the glycemic index may produce glucose in the blood and with alcohol slowing insulin production can cause weight gain. Due to alcohol's effect on the production of insulin, the type and amount of mixes used with making cocktails can raise the carbohydrate level turning it into sugar and with the body's insulin production slowed, can quickly turn into fat. Which explains why some heavy drinkers acquire what is often referred to as a "beer belly" even though they may not eat fatty foods. When following a diet based on the glycemic index wine may be a small part of the plan, but should be tempered with other foods, such as proteins and good fats that can help spur the production of insulin. |
