You are probably looking for it — the \u201cKing\u2019s X\u201d food.\u00a0 Is there a food that doesn\u2019t raise your blood sugar?\u00a0 Well, yes.\u00a0 Meats, poultry, seafood, and eggs do not have any insulin response.\u00a0 That\u2019s because of the fat and protein in them.\u00a0 Their glycemic number is 0.<\/p>\n
Does that mean you can eat meat until it comes out your ears?\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t recommend it!\u00a0 Gorging is never healthy — regardless of what you are eating.\u00a0 And meat and eggs do have calories, which do count. More on that in a later blog.<\/p>\n
However, it is also true that meat, fish, poultry, and eggs do give you many benefits. They provide protein, which is essential for fat loss, as well as for building muscle.\u00a0 Meats are also satisfying and help keep hunger under control.<\/p>\n
Just don\u2019t do crazy things — and we dieters are famous for the crazy things we do to lose weight!. \u00a0 Many people on the Adkins and South Beach diet, which are basically low glycemic, just stuff themselves with meat — which is not what the originators of the plans intended.\u00a0 I saw a breakfast entree in a menu billed as the \u201cAdkins Breakfast.\u201d\u00a0 It consisted of SIX eggs, six pieces of bacon, three sausage patties, and three link sausages.\u00a0 I really doubt that Dr. Adkins came up with this one!\u00a0 A steady diet of that type of food won\u2019t be healthy OR help you lose the extra pounds.<\/p>\n
A serving size of meat is about the size of a deck of cards — or the palm of your hand.\u00a0 Eating the meat grilled, cooked in the crockpot, or baked are all good choices. \u00a0 I have a George Foreman-type indoor grill that I use regularly. (It\u2019s a knock-off brand, but I like it.)\u00a0 It\u2019s easy and clean up is a snap since the grill can be washed in the dishwasher.<\/p>\n
Beans are also low glycemic.\u00a0 Just about any kind you can name — black, brown, pinto, lima, navy — even baked beans — are in the green-for-go category.\u00a0 So are chick peas, black-eyed peas, and lentils.<\/p>\n
Nuts can also be a boon to your healthy eating plan, as long as you don\u2019t overdo it.\u00a0 They don\u2019t have any carbs, so have a 0 glycemic index number.\u00a0 The exception is cashews, which have a low number of 22.\u00a0 They do have fat, but it is mostly the \u201cgood\u201d fat.\u00a0 Eating a handful as a snack instead of chips or candy can satisfy you and keep your energy up.\u00a0 However, do NOT eat the whole jar of cashews — as I did once without noticing while I read a really good thriller.\u00a0 I did not feel so great afterward, and certainly did not see a drop in weight the next day!<\/p>\n
As you can see, this eating plan is not really restrictive.\u00a0 There is plenty of real food\u00a0 with low or 0 numbers and you need not be hungry.<\/p>\n
