Why Cook With Glycemic Load in Mind?

Glycemic Load looks at both how fast a food's carbohydrates raise blood sugar and how much of that food is on your plate. Recipes built around whole grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts, seeds and protein tend to have a gentler effect than meals based on refined flour and sugar.
