📊 THE GLYCEMIC INDEX (GI) SCALE EXPLAINED
Ever wonder which carbs are better for your blood sugar?
Let’s break it down simply 👇🏼
❓ What is the Glycemic Index?
The GI scale is a ranking system (from 0 to 100) that measures how quickly carbohydrates raise your blood sugar after eating.
Foods are scored and classified as:
🔵 Low GI = 1–55 (Slow rise)
🟡 Medium GI = 56–69 (Moderate rise)
🔴 High GI = 70–100 (Fast rise)
🟢 LOW GI FOODS (1–55
These cause a gradual, steady increase in blood sugar.
They keep you full longer and provide sustained energy.
✅ Examples:
Sweet potatoes
Beans & lentils
Whole grains
Cabbage, broccoli
Apples, berries
💡 WHY? Fiber slows the absorption of sugar.
🟡 MEDIUM GI FOODS (56–69)
These moderately affect blood sugar and are great in moderation.
✅ Examples:
Brown rice
Ripe plantain
Grapes
Bananas
Sweet corn
Pineapple
Raw honey
🔴 HIGH GI FOODS (70–100)
These spike blood sugar quickly — often followed by an energy crash 😮💨
⛔️ Examples:
White bread
Soda & energy drinks
Garri
Mashed potatoes
Watermelon
Instant noodles
Packaged snacks, pastries
⚠️ Why Does It Matter?
High GI foods can cause:
Blood sugar spikes & crashes
Fatigue & irritability
Insulin resistance (→ Type 2 diabetes)
Weight gain or belly fat
Meanwhile, low-GI carbs help with:
✅ Stable energy
✅ Better cholesterol
✅ Appetite control
✅ Managing diabetes & PCOS
🔢 Bonus Tip: Understand “Glycemic Load” (GL)
GL = GI score x carb quantity ÷ 100
Even a healthy food can raise blood sugar if eaten in large quantities.
➡️ It’s not just what you eat—but how much.
👀 How to Identify Low GI Options
Ripeness – Riper = higher GI (choose slightly underripe)
Processing – Whole > processed. (Granola > cookies)
Cooking method – Boiled < Fried
Fiber, protein & healthy fats lower overall GI
🍽️ Smart Tips to Reduce Sugar Spikes
✅ Pair carbs with protein/fats → Avocado on toast
✅ Eat fruit whole → Not juiced
✅ Choose oats over packaged cereal
✅ Eat small, balanced portions
✅ Cook your rice a little firmer (less mushy = less GI absorption)
🥗 REMEMBER:
You don’t have to cut out carbs.
You just need to choose better carbs and eat in balance.
The Glycemic Index is your cheat code for smarter choices.
