Low Carbohydrate Stupidity by Stephen Bucaro

the food, and then calculating an average. The results have

been published and you can find gylcemic tables on the Web.

What are the offending foods?

1. Any food made of refined flour; bread, cake, cookies,

cereal, crackers, donuts, etc.

2. White rice.

3. Potatoes.

The above foods will cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly

and stay high for a long period. If the above foods are a

regular part of your diet, you will be gaining weight

uncontrollably. Avoid these foods and your weight will

gradually fall back to a normal weight zone.

What are the good carbohydrates?

1. 100% stone ground whole wheat bread.

2. Whole grain wheat bran cereal.

3. Surprisingly, pastas like spaghetti, macaroni, and

ravioli have glycemic indexes lower than 50.

4. Even more surprising, chocolate has a glycemic index

less than 50.

Most fruits and vegetables have a low glycemic index, but

there are some exceptions. Oranges and grapefruits have a

low glycemic index but turn them into juice and the

glycemic index zooms up. Beans and nuts have a low glycemic

index, but watch those calories! Plain baked beans have 240

calories per cup and walnuts have 190 calories per ounce.

And just because a product contains a food with a low

glycemic index doesn’t mean the product's recipe has a low

glycemic index.

Locate a good glycemic index table and use it to select

low glycemic index carbohydrates to replace the high

glycemic index foods in your diet.

Don’t be fooled by listening to the low carbohydrate

stupidity. Don’t eat only fat and meat. That would cause

health problems that will eventually lead to your death.
