February 8, 2008, Newsletter Issue #102: Low carb foods in Low Carb Diets
Tip of the Week
Some diets rely on low carb foods with a low glycemic load. The term "glycemic load" is used to describe the amount of carbohydrates appearing in the blood after eating a certain serving of a food. Meats and dairy products are low carbohydrate foods because of their low carbohydrate content leading to low glycemic load.
Raw vegetables and fruits, while containing the same amounts of carbohydrates as cooked ones, are considered acceptable under low carb diets because ounce for once, they only elevate blood glucose levels to a lesser degree.
