The Balanced Body Podcast

BLOOD SUGAR | One food that is probably a bad idea (sorry!)


Listen Later

If you've been listening or following me for a while, you'd know that I don't normally say any foods are “off limits", gestational diabetes or not.   However.    There is one food that seems like it's been everywhere recently, and I'm so sorry, but I'm not a fan.    Don't get me wrong - I don't think it's a total no-go and would be very okay to have occasionally. It is kind of problematic that this meal gets a real green light as a “healthy option” though.    A lot of the time it would be a calorie bomb and a huge load of sugar for your body to process at once. Neither of these things matter as an occasional thing, but it is important to at least be aware of, rather than going into the meal thinking it's a super healthy choice.    I hope I'm making sense!    Want to know what food I'm talking about? You'll have to listen to the episode ;)   Plus, I give you an explainer on the difference between glycaemic index and glycaemic LOAD, which trust me, is a concept you need to know about with gestational diabetes.
