Glycemic Load (GL)

Glycemic Load (GL)
Glycemic load (GL) is a way of measuring the total effect of the glucose released in the blood of the carbohydrates in food. It is calculated by multiplying the release of glucose into the blood (the Glycemic Index or GI) by the amount of carbohydrate in a normal portion of this this food. You can use this to see that you eat no more than 50 GL units a day, or no more than 40 if you want to lose weight. Eating a small amount of protein with each meal also reduces the glucose release and helps with weight control. Glycemic Load (GL) diets are also ideal for someone with diabetes.
