What is Low GI Food?

Low-GI foods release glucose slowly into the bloodstream, helping maintain steady energy levels without sudden spikes or crashes. They keep you full for longer, support better metabolism, and help control cravings. For active individuals, low-GI foods provide a stable, long-lasting source of energy and prevent mid-day fatigue.

WHAT IS LOW GI SUGAR?

Low GI sugar is a gentle alternative to regular sugar. It sweetens just the same but releases glucose more gradually, helping avoid sudden blood sugar spikes. This makes it a supportive choice for daily use, whether in tea, coffee, desserts, or home cooking. Because it digests slowly, low GI sugar can help manage energy levels, improve satiety, and support better metabolic balance.

1) What exactly makes a sugar low GI?

Low-GI sugars are those whose carbohydrate composition causes a slower absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. Technically, their GI score measured under standard conditions is ≤ 55.

2) Why is regular table sugar not considered low GI?

Regular white sugar has a GI around 65, which generally places it in the high-GI category, not “low.”

3) If I use low-GI sugar, does that mean my meal becomes low GI overall?

Not necessarily. The glycemic impact of a meal depends on all components, other carbohydrates, fibre, fat, protein, cooking method, portion size. A low-GI sweetener doesn’t guarantee a low-GI meal if other parts are high-GI.
