Glycemic Index vs. Glycemic Load: What It Actually Means for Your Plate

DESCRIPTION

"Glycemic index" comes up in nearly every conversation about carbs and dieting, but most of us were never told what it means at the dinner table. Rick and Greg explain what the number measures, why quick blood sugar spikes lead to more storage, and how glycemic load (the amount you eat) changes the picture.

The takeaway is practical: no food is forbidden. Your body responds to the whole meal, so building a plate with fiber, protein, and healthy fats alongside your carbs keeps blood sugar steadier, and judging how you ate over a week matters more than any single meal.

In this episode:
- What the glycemic index is and how it's measured
- Glycemic load, portion size, and the M&M's example
- Why the meal matters more than the individual food
- The plate method, and the best time to have dessert

This episode is for educational and informational purposes only. Please see your own medical provider before starting or changing any medication or weight loss regimen.

Stay healthier ever after.
