Healthy Carbohydrates = Low GI

Glycemic Response =

becomes blood sugar.

All Carbohydrates  Sugar in the blood

 Energy for the Cells

The GI scale
GLYCEMIC INDEX- is a measure of the ability of
food to raise blood sugar levels after it is
consumed.
- When a person’s blood sugar rises, insulin is
produced to counteract it.
- High levels of blood sugar and insulin can lead to
problems like weight gain, insulin resistance,
hypoglycemia, and heart disease.
 Glycemic Index
100 = Glucose

HIGH GI  Becomes Sugar Quickly  UNHEALTHY

advise Julia at all on what to
eat/what to avoid?
“I’ve shared with her a program
that I do which is called Reset

taking a meal replacement
shake that is low glycemic and
full of fiber, so you feel full.
