Πώς να υπολογίσετε το Glycemic Load

Τι είναι το Glycemic Load;

Glycemic Load (GL) measures a food's actual blood sugar impact, combining Glycemic Index quality with carbohydrate quantity in a serving — more practical than GI alone.

Τύπος

Glycemic Load (GL) = (Glycemic Index × Carbohydrates (g)) / 100; GL < 10 low, 10–20 medium, > 20 high per serving
GI
Glycemic index of food (Integer (0–100))
Carbs
Carbohydrates per serving (Grams)
GL
Glycemic load per serving (Integer)

Οδηγός βήμα προς βήμα

  1. 1GL = GI × Net carbs (g) / 100
  2. 2Net carbs = Total carbs − Fibre
  3. 3Low GL ≤ 10; Medium 11–20; High ≥ 21
  4. 4Large serving of low-GI food can still have high GL

Worked Examples

Εισαγωγή
White rice: GI 73, 36g net carbs/150g serving
Αποτέλεσμα
GL = 73 × 36/100 = 26.3 — High

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is GL better than GI?

GI ignores portion size. Watermelon (high GI) has low GL (small carbs per serving). GL accounts for both speed of digestion and amount of carbs. More practical for food choices.

What foods have low GL?

Non-starchy vegetables, legumes, steel-cut oats, nuts, berries. Avoid refined grains, sugary drinks, white bread (high GL). Pairing protein/fat with carbs lowers overall GL.

Does GL matter for non-diabetics?

Yes. Low GL diet reduces diabetes risk, supports weight management, improves energy stability. Prevents blood sugar spikes that trigger hunger. Beneficial for everyone.
