Hi, this is Dr. Sandy helping you tame your sugar Gremlin. Where's the candy floss system? We've established that we need to cut those carbs. So what precisely are we cutting? chemically speaking, a carb is anything which is composed of sugars and sugars found in sweet things. So when cutting carbs, you need to watch out for sweet things, but starchy things actually made up thousands of sugars all joined together.
Starchy things include starchy vegetables like potato and maize or corn, as well as foods, which contain flour products. So if you're cutting the carbs, you also need to learn Your consumption of starchy things that pretty much means everything sugar Gremlin slack is off the table. Cake cookies, pizza, pasta, chips. Food. Yeah, I'm guessing for many of you, the thinking part of your brain is not having its own tool, panic attack. carb cutting life won't be worth living.
Well, I eat so let me repeat it. The goal is to cut the costs, not eliminate them. And carbs are not all created equal to carbs that get your sugar Gremlin all fired up.

It takes quite a lot of effort to get them free. So cellular carbs tend to bounce around for quite a bit. Typically arriving in the lover later rather than sooner. carbs that have already been liberated from the cell packaging through some kind of processing step don't have the same difficulties breaking free.
They are a cellular copy that is not in sell cards and they tend to hit the liver running. So as a rule, carbs in processed foods are fast carbs, carbs in the original packaging. The way mother nature intended are slower crops. Unfortunately, this means that those quick fix munchies your sugar Gremlin demands precisely what you need to avoid Odia another way to think about it is using the glycemic index This is an official measurement of how fast or slow carb is. It's typically based on measurements that have been made on volunteers. So a product can be classified as having a high glycemic index.
And that means that it contains fast cops which are absorbed very quickly. products that are classified as low glycemic index have slow carbs and tend to be absorbed much more slowly. Now, something you might have noticed exactly how fast or slow carb is, is often related to what else is in the byte which is one of the reasons you need to do the A in the candy floss system at proteins, fat and fiber joint join me in the next section as we unpack the egg weapon
