The Glycemic Index is a real "Load"
In today's podcast, we discuss the glycemic index and how it's used to figure out the Glycemic "Load" of the foods we consume. This equation is used to figure out how fast glucose is released into our bloodstream, spiking our insulin levels. From this info, we gain a better understanding of how to unlock the door to stored fat and not only burning it off, but using it as a form of energy!
The Glycemic Load equation: Take the food's Glycemic Index (GI) number which can be found on this downloadable PDF
Multiply the GI by the total amount of Carbohydrates IN A SERVING (check nutritional label for this number) of the food you are wanting to eat. If the total carbs indicated in a serving are 12g and you are eating 2 servings worth, be sure to double the 12g to 24g. Conversely, if you're consuming half of the serving size you would use 6g. Then divide this number by 100. GI x Carb grams per serving / 100
