If you are like me it is highly likely that you have not.
And like me if you have been trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce weight I am quite sure you might be quite familiar with the Glycemic Index or "GI" as we all know it.
I used to follow the GI quite religiously and eat a lot of proteins and egg whites thinking I was being healthy.
Then I came across this video by Dr. Eric Berg on Youtube which quite literally turned my world upside down.
What I realized was that certain low GI foods can be as bad as high GI foods. Because they too can trigger insulin.
For instance weigh protein, Beef and Egg whites all trigger insulin in your system. Which means it is really not helping you to loose weight. The only way to reduce its Insulin creating capability is to mix it with good fat such as butter or coconut oil or the yolk when it comes to eggs.
Now I know some of you who have been throwing away the nice, juicy pieces of fat in your meats must be banging your heads in absolute frustration. Do not despair.
Because if you are like me and love all things "bacon" then you will be delighted to know that that is one of the few foods which is really low on the Insulin Index. Yeah!
