Appendix Glycemic Index Food Chart

The following charts provide you with just a portion of the foods and their values on the glycemic index. For your convenience, Ive presented this information in two forms and two separate charts. The first is presented below. The rankings are categorized by the type of food. If youre looking for a specific food, this makes it fairly easy for you to find a specific type of bread or a particular kind of cereal. In the next chart, the foods are divided by the actual index value, starting with the lowest and working up to the highest. This can be handy if youre planning meals. In this way you can view what range of foods are best to choose from. Low Glycemic Index food (55 or less) Medium Glycemic Index food (between 56 and 69) High Glycemic Index food (70 or greater)
