Opis

The World Health Organization and The American Diabetes Association endorse the effectiveness of using glycemic values in selecting foods. But many health professionals consider glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) too complicated to use in their clinical practice. That translates into not listing GI and GL values on our packaged food products, not including these values in our national nutrient database files, and little to no help from our health professionals. So it is up to the consumer to figure it out. This pocket guide is built to provide just those glycemic values. It is a short-cut to just the values for foods born in the USA, all in one place. CHEAT SHEET SIMPLY for USA FOODS provides an exclusive layout of nutrition information for USA foods. Five charts display over three hundred seventy five foods. Each chart organizes foods based on a specific feature of their nutrition. The first chart presents foods by the amount of carbohydrate they contain. Foods with the least amount of carbohydrate are at the top of the chart. Foods with the greatest amount of carbohydrate are at the end of the chart. The second chart lists foods according to their glycemic index (GI) value. Foods with the lowest glycemic index (GI) are at the top of the chart. Foods with a high glycemic index (GI) are at the end of the chart. The third chart presents foods by the amount of fiber they contain. Foods with the highest fiber content are at the top of the chart. Foods with little or no fiber are at the end of the chart. The fourth chart displays foods according to their glycemic load (GL) score. Foods with the lowest glycemic load (GL) score are at the top of the chart. Foods with the highest glycemic load score (GL) are at the end of the chart. Foods listed in the first pages of any of these first four charts have minimal impact on blood glucose levels. Building your plate with these foods first can go a long way in maintaining stable blood glucose levels. The fifth chart lists foods alphabetically and into basic food groups. In this section it is easy to compare the effect that different preparation methods have on the metabolism of carbohydrates. Selecting from among the different food charts allows quick and easy access to important food facts for your personal nutritional goals. CHEAT SHEET Simply for USA Foods is available in three formats: A 5" x 8" pocket guide, an 8 x 10 with larger print, and a Print Replica E-Book.
