They do turn into sugar, in other words convert to glucose. Alcohol is a simple sugar, in fact the most simple sugar there is. It doesn’t have to be digested, it’s absorbed straight into the bloodstream. That’s why you feel the effects of liquor within minutes.

Sure 100 cal of low GI food is the same as 100 cal of high GI food when it comes to weight gain.

Now to insulin sensitivity and satiety.

yeah while i am in the cult that things like sugar can affect your hormones in a way that affects weight (really fat), that's not the real point

satiation is the major point. carbs are absolute shite for satiation, and the more sugar you have, the worse it gets.

People who thought this study showed anythign newsworthy

quote:

In view of all the contrary evidence from observational cohort studies and meta-analyses of RCTs, it is surprising that the hypothesis that low-GI (“slow-carb”) diets are superior for weight loss and obesity prevention persists. Carbohydrate quality, including GI, clearly impacts many health outcomes (17, 18, 25), and several meta-analyses have reported higher risks of T2D, cardiovascular disease, and stroke associated with high-GI diets (25, 86–89). However, GI as a measure of carbohydrate quality appears to be unimportant as a determinant of BMI or diet-induced weight loss.

Mingo won’t like this, nor will the keto crew on the health board.

What I get out of the article is that the study is saying that carbs are carbs no matter how complex they are. The 200 calories worth of carbs in your whole grain wheat bread aren't that different than the 200 calories worth of hfcs in your Coke, at least as it relates to diet and weight.

But what will help lose weight is cutting both foods out because zero calories will help lose weight over 200 calories of carbs.

I still think (feel) like complex carbs are probably better for you than so called fast carbs. Especially, as other posters have said, in regards to satiation and avoiding overeating. Not to mention the pseudo-addictive properties of sugar.

If I want a PBJ or bologna sandwich it will be sliced white bread.

White Bread is not good for you because it's so highly processed. I have gotten to where I read the labels on everything I buy and, if it's highly processed or contains a lot of added sugar, I don't buy it. I only eat either Ezekiel Bread of Dave's Killer Bread.

It's correlation between use of HFCS (used to sweeten white bread and most things massed produced) with rise in obesity and type II diabetes.

That being said, poor kids who have extra money tend to blow it on candy.

Portion control is important, and when you realize you can get by eating a lot less (volume), it gets easier to do. But it’s also easy to fall off the wagon because current US society is 100% huge portions of calorie dense foods.

The problem with white versus wheat is in how your body processes it, same with white rice versus brown rice. You want your body to expend energy to break it down.

Honestly though, except for French bread on my occasional poboy, I seriously prefer whole wheat to white on sandwiches. I prefer it on burgers as well. Texture is better, taste is more interesting, and it does not fall apart when you bite into it.

Liquid calories are tricky. Yeah, the occasional Coke won't kill you. The problem is that you can sit there and suck 3 down during a meal, and not even realize you've just consumed 420 calories.

You are correct, and this would work for the person who is paying attention to what they eat.

Problem is 90% of Americans just eat whatever they want when they are hungry.

My hypothesis is that our sugar loaded low GI diets are making the average person more hungry, more frequently. So people who lack will power or are generally uneducated just eat when they are hungry.

If you just removed all low GI foods from the market people that don’t pay attention to their diets would end up eating less

man you can feel it. i've fallen off the wagon but have started working back good eating habits. i cook almost all of my meals except for 1-2 meals over the weekends. if i have to like go on a trip and eat fast food, i feel so much different in terms of hunger-desire. it isn't even always the same type of food. like after i eat fast food, my body wants some sort of sugary treat and i crave it hard core for a day or so. the stark difference is crazy to me

He’s likely talking about thermic effect of food but it’s not that much to matter. The fiber is the important part.

The level of dishonesty and/or mental illness needed to put out a cover like that one by Cosmopolitan is staggering.
