We should eat some low GI items as part of a healthy, balanced diet, such as wholegrain foods, fruit, vegetables, beans, and lentils.
However, it can be inaccurate to use the glycaemic index to determine whether specific foods or dietary combinations are healthful.
Not all foods with a low GI are healthy, and not all foods with a high GI are necessarily unhealthy. For instance, although chocolate cake has a lower GI rating than watermelon and occasionally parsnips.
Additionally, foods that contain or are prepared with fat, protein, and carbohydrates have a lower GI since they take longer to absorb carbohydrates. For instance, potatoes cooked without fat have a lower GI than crisps. Crisps, however, are heavy in fat and should only be used in moderation.
Your diet may be imbalanced and rich in fat if you solely consume items with a low GI.
