Key Takeaway: Low-GI foods (GI < 55) attenuate postprandial glucose spikes, stabilizing ghrelin and sustaining mental energy during an energy deficit.
Glycemic Index vs. Glycemic Load
While GI measures the speed of glucose absorption, Glycemic Load (GL) accounts for carbohydrate density per typical serving size (GL = [GI × Available Carbs] ÷ 100).
