Carbs with a high thermogenic / carb ratio

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

The following carbs really should be consider to have almost no effect on

glucose due to their high degree of

thermogenesis to the amount of carbs per serve. This means the body must do

almost as much work to get at the carbs as

it gets out of the released glucose. This is partly due to their high fibre

content.

Asparagus,

Broccoli,

Cabbage,

Carrot,

Cauliflower,

Celery,

Lettuce,

Mushroom,

Peppers,

Radicchio,

Radish,

Spinach,

Tomato, from Natural Hormone Enhancement, page 153.

What this means is that you can discount any carb based calories from these

foods, even though they should still be

eaten for their nutritional contents.

So if your diet has lots of these veggies, subtract the contribution to total

calories these foods suggest you are

getting. This may mean your real carb calories may be much lower than software

such as DWIDP shows.

Good Health & Long Life,
