Learn about Difference between Glycemic Index Vs Glycemic Load, Low GI foods, High GI foods

Glycemic Index
Glycemic index is a measure of how fast a food raises your Blood Glucose Levels.
Glycemic Index of a carbohydrate containing food is determined by comparing the glucose excursions or fluctuations of blood glucose levels after consuming a 50g of test food with glucose excursions after consuming 50g of reference food ( White Bread)

Blood glucose area under the curve (3h) for test food
Glycemic Index = —------------------------------------------------------------------------ × 100
Blood glucose area under the curve (3h) for reference food

Eating low glycemic index foods results in lower blood glucose levels after meals.
High glycemic index foods raise blood glucose levels faster.

Glycemic Load:
Glycemic load (GL) is a measure of how much a food raises your blood sugar levels in one serving. It takes into account both the glycemic index of a food and the amount of carbohydrates in one serving.
To calculate the glycemic load of a food, you multiply the glycemic index of the food by the grams of carbohydrates in one serving, then divide by 100.
So, which is more important for weight loss?
The glycemic load is more important for weight loss than the glycemic index. That's because the glycemic load takes into account both the quality and quantity of carbohydrates in a food.
For example, watermelon has a high glycemic index (72), but it is mostly water and has very few carbohydrates (about 11 grams per cup). This means that watermelon has a low glycemic load (about eight).
72*11 = 792/100 = 7.92 ~ 8
