Do high GI foods make you fat? What happens if you eat too much high GI food?

Food can raise blood sugar levels, so food is divided into high-GI foods and low-GI foods. So will it be easy to gain weight if you eat too much high-GI food?

Generally, foods that raise blood sugar levels or high-fat foods are likely to cause blood sugar levels to rise, accompanied by abnormal lipid metabolism, increased fat accumulation and obesity. Normal adults will not directly experience a significant increase in blood sugar levels after consuming high-fat and high-sugar foods, but will store sugars as energy in fat. Hypoglycemia is a pathological reaction. To control weight, you can reduce the intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods and do more outdoor exercise.

Eating too much high GI foods can affect the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. The GI theory states that some high GI carbohydrate foods, such as sucrose and refined grains such as white rice, can cause a sudden rise in blood sugar levels and then a rapid drop, destroying the body's ability to use insulin and process sugar.

High GI foods (GI value greater than 70)

1. Staple food: white rice, fried rice, risotto, French bread, bagels, udon noodles, ramen noodles

2. Vegetables: potatoes, yams, carrots

3. Fish and meat: squid balls, pork meatballs, fish cakes, egg dumplings, pork intestines, pork tripe, beef tripe

Food GI has little effect on weight loss, and people who are losing weight don’t need to pay too much attention to the GI value of food.

I am by no means completely denying the GI data, it’s just that it has little reference value.

The statement that "low GI is beneficial for fat loss" has existed for a long time. Its logic is this: high GI leads to high blood sugar, high blood sugar leads to high insulin levels, high insulin levels lead to fat synthesis and inhibit fat decomposition, and ultimately the increase in fat causes obesity.
