Here’s what nobody tells you:
• GI scores are measured in isolation. One food. Empty stomach. No context. That is never how we actually eat.
• The moment you add fat, protein, or fibre to that same “high GI” food, the spike shrinks dramatically. The food didn’t change. The context did.
So instead of hunting for low GI labels, here’s what we suggest:
→ Start every meal with vegetables (fibre first)
→ Add a protein or fat to every carb-heavy plate
→ Take a 10-minute walk after eating
→ Add a tablespoon of vinegar before a starchy meal
These four things will do more for your glucose curve than any GI chart ever will.
“Low GI” is not the health hack you think it is.
