FOOD QUALITY: •No sugar or refined carbohydrates. Choose foods with a low Glycemic Index - 55 or less. The glycemic index of food is used to measure how rapidly a particular carbohydrate source raises the blood sugar. White bread is the mean at 100 which all are measured from. Contrary to popular belief white or russet potatoes are near 100. Sweet potatoes are a much better choice. •No Saturated fats or trans fats. Usually in many fast foods and processed meats. When you see "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils on an ingredient list, the food contains trans fats. Like saturated fats, eating too many fat can raise cholesterol (LDL) and increase the risk of heart disease. •No bread or white flour. •No fried foods •If you have oils choose olive, canola, corn, safflower, sesame, soybean and sunflower oils. •If you have to have Starbucks, have a Café Misto- Skim. A much better choice than a Frappacino or the others.
