Metabolize your food slower

Carbohydrates that are high glycemic like; white bread, dough, white rice and processed sugar and even potatoes (note: all the foods mentioned are white in color) that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream have a high glycemic Index; carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually are low glycemic.

High glycemic foods:
elevate insulin and blood glucose
stimulate fat-storage
intensify hyperactivity
reduce sports performance.

Avoid High Glycemic foods

Here's a list of High Glycemic foods

Potatoes, rice, dates, watermelon, parsnips, pineapples, raisins, and milk
Also avoid processed foods like: rice crispies, corn flakes, waffles, pancakes, white breads, english muffins, rolled oats, oat bran, pasta, instant pre-cooked grains, ice cream, yogurt, tofu

Processed foods

Pass on foods that have high fructose corn syrup, enriched or hydrogenated on the label

Processed foods:
There is an enzyme in your stomach that tells your brain when you have had enough Nutrition, when you eat food that does not have Nutrition the enzyme does not send signals to the brain telling you that you have had enough and to stop eating. This is the reason people are over weight. Calorie rich/ Nutrient deficient diets. Foods with HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, ENRICHED & HYDROGENATED are very dangerous to your Vital Health. Go to your cupboard "Right Now" and look at every label on every food container in your house and put all foods on the counter that have HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, ENRICHED & HYDROGENATED on the label. Chances are the only food left in your cabinets and refrigerator are natural fruits & vegetables and meats!

Preservatives & pesticides

Preservatives kill the active ingredients in food.
Pesticides kill bugs or at least deter them, they can't be good for you.

    I'm trying so hard to eat healthier, but all the "stuff" is so confusing to me. I've been eating alot of Special K and Slimfast - I guess those aren't so good for me if I'm understanding correctly. Thanks for your help! =D *Angel Blessed*
