Glycemic Index is important if you are planiing to shred some fat with just changing food habit. Many of you are worried about fast carbs and slow carbs. You want to know which one is fast carb and which one is slow carbs. Well all fast carbs food are not same fast like all slow one are not same slow. They have variations. Glycemic index is the index which express the the fastness or slowness of a carbohydrate. The range of glycemic index is from 1 to 100. If a food is really fast it will be close to hundred, while if it realy really slow than it will be close to the value of one.
What Glycemic index actually means?
Let us get some idea about Glycemic Index. Glucose is the fastest carbs. It means glucose can be absorbed in the body very fast and create instantly erengy. Glycemic index of glucose is set as 100. Now other carbohydrates are compared with glucose. If another carb is half fast as flucose is, then it glycemic index of that carb would be half of glycemic index of glucose, i.e, 50. So if glycemic index of a carb is 90, it means it is 10% less faster than glucose.
