DID YOU KNOW... CARBOHYDRATES CAN BE FATTENING OR THINNING, BASED ON HOW YOU EAT THEM. THE MORE SLOWLY A CARBOHYDRATE IS DIGESTED, THE LOWER ITS GLYCEMIC INDEX. EATING HIGH FIBER FOODS WITH A MEAL LOWERS THE GLYCEMIC VALUE OF THE ENTIRE MEAL. PASTA CAN BE LOW, MEDIUM OR HIGH GLYCEMIC BASED ON HOW LONG YOU COOK IT. PROCESSED FOODS GENERALLY HAVE A HIGHER GLYCEMIC VALUE THAN THEIR UNPROCESSED COUNTERPARTS AND ARE MUCH BETTER FOR YOU. EATING ACIDIC TASTING FOODS WITH A MEAL CAN LOWER THE GLYCEMIC EFFECT BY AS MUCH AS 30 PERCENT. SOME CARBS, SUCH AS NONSTARCHY VEGETABLES THAT CONTAIN A VERY SMALL QUANTITY OF CARBS, HAVE A GLYCEMIC INDEX OF 0, SO THEY DONT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON YOUR GLYCEMIC LOAD.
