Protein has a high glycemic index true or false?

Answer 1

Protein has a high glycemic index true or false? The Answer Is True

Answer 2

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Proteins do not have a high glycemic index.

The glycemic index (GI) is a classification of foods rich in carbohydrates, according to how they affect blood glucose levels, popularly known as blood sugar. Being aware of the glycemic index and consuming low GI foods helps to lose weight and control diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol and gout. Foods with high GI tend to increase the production of fat in the body by raising blood sugar too much, and should be avoided or consumed only sporadically.

To reduce the glycemic index of foods, foods rich in protein, fat or fiber should be added, such as meat, eggs, cheese, olive oil, nuts, seeds and salad.
