The Glycemic Index is one of the keys to looking and feeling younger. This scale rates foods according to their impact on blood sugar levels from 1 to 100, with 100 indicating the increase in blood sugar levels resulting from eating table sugar. You can be carrying five thousand extra calories on your thighs, but you will not be able to burn it off, because the insulin in your bloodstream creates a “lock” and those calories will not be accessed for fuel. If you want to get rid of those five thousand calories and let your body burn that fat for fuel, avoid foods with a glycemic index over 50. Otherwise, the insulin surge caused by high-glycemic foods will guarantee that your body fat stays firmly “locked” in place regardless of how few calories or fat grams that food contains. Boost your metabolism by decreasing the level of foods you consume that are high on the glycemic index at all costs!

CELERY – lots of crispy celery to chew on
The less I eat high glycemic foods, the less I crave them. It takes a few days without them before I realize I don’t want them anymore (just a little treat once in a while).
