Glycemic index is a measure of the carbohydrates in a food that affects blood glucose level. If you eat carbohydrates with a low GI, you will get a more even blood sugar and thus keep you full longer.
Are you training at least every other day so you automatically get a lower GI of what you eat.
The glycemic index is a measure of how fast and long as the blood sugar level is affected by different foods. The absorption of carbohydrates is slow, it leads to a more even blood sugar level.
The Carbohydrates that are absorbed slowly by the body are called simplex carbohydrates and will have low glycemic index foods.
Carbohydrates with a high glycemic index (simple carbohydrates), are taken up quickly by the body.
Difference between fast and slow carbs
Fast carbohydrates – get hungry quickly
Graph of how fast and slow carbohydrates affect blood sugar.
If you eat simple carbs (carbohydrates with a high glycemic index) carbohydrates are quickly absorbed by the body. This increases the glucose level quickly (sugar in the blood). When the glucose concentration increases, the body must turn on their insulin. Insulin lowers blood glucose by increasing the cellular uptake of glucose and take in the sugar into the cells and store it there. A great supplement of insulin causes the blood sugar pretty quickly drops to a low level and you will then be hungry or hungry again
