Mr. X-->Insulin Index/ GI/GL/ Mendosa.com

Id really appreciate some input here Mr. X


i was going to post this on the diet discussion board, but i figured more people would be interested in it over here.

I think most people on this board know what the Glycemic Index is. I've searched through all the lists on this Mendosa. com site, and i just happened to look at this one last time i was there. Does anyone have any knowledge of the "insluin index" of foods and how it is different than the glycemic index. Just by looking at the chart on this page (the link is on the bottom of this post) It seems like it would be better to eat mashed potatos or jellybeans than to eat dextrose after working out if your goal is to spike insulin.

I jsut want to know what everyone thinks about this or if theyve ever studied it before.

Mendosa.com has all the Glycemic Index/ Glycemic Load charts you could ever want, and then links to places to download some seriously detailed and involved data about food like the nutrient content of everything, and its in several different formats so that searching is easy. I know we all care about keeping our insulin levels in check, this site is a great resource...

(MODS IM NOT ENDORSING THE SITE IM JUST TRYING TO SHOW A SITE THAT HAS SOME EXCELLENT NUTRITION INFORMATION ON IT)

I know someone has got to want to reply to this

 

[Mr.X]

Insulin index is the quantitiy of insulin needed...thus, it's not talking about spikes of type of insulin infusions.

use the normal GI....
