What is Glycemic Index (GI)?

Glycemic Index is the measure of how a particular carbohydrate source affects blood sugar levels. GI is measured in a scale of 0 to 100, which compares a given food to pure white sugar (GI of 100). The GI scale measures only carbohydrates; proteins and fat have no impact on the score. Refined simple carbohydrates have the highest GI scores, while unrefined complex carbohydrates have the lowest scores.

Foods with a high GI are rapidly digested, resulting in undesired spikes of blood sugar levels, while low glycemic alternatives are slowly absorbed, resulting in a beneficial gradual increase in blood glucose levels.
