High Glycemic Index FoodHigh glycemic index food will cause a rapid rise in blood sugar and insulin secretion. These are your "once a week" or so foods. They should be used as the occasional treat. All processed foods will fall into this category (you know, it comes in a box with little bags inside the box?) as will ANYTHING made with white flour. Vegetables and Salad GreensCarrots (raw) - the trick with carrots is to only eat a fewFrench fries Hash browns Potato chips Parsnips White potato (mashed, baked, boiled) Pumpkin FruitCantaloupeDates (fresh) Figs (fresh) Watermelon Beans, Grains, and CerealBagelsCookies Donuts Millet Polenta (cooked) Brown or white rice (boiled) Cheerios Grape Nuts There's something so important that I'm going to say it again: ALL WHITE FLOUR products have a high GI rating. It's best to stay away from them entirely. And as a side note, if you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, you may have a wheat intolerance. In which case any bread or wheat based product could cause your symptoms to flare up. If this is you, eat only low glycemic for a month and see if you feel better.
