Foods with lower glycemic responses are more desirable for people who are actively managing their blood glucose levels. This includes people with prediabetes and diabetes. The lower glycemic response could mean
less medication necessary to keep blood glucose levels in check. Furthermore, lower glycemic diets are often positioned as ideal to help people lose weight. Whether or not this is true remains to be conclusively determined, however, lower glycemic foods are associated with better satiety (fullness) and hunger control, which can be helpful to people trying to shed a few pounds. Lastly, lower glycemic foods are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. We will discuss the application of glycemic index and load to weight loss and improved fitness in Chapter 8.
