If you want your blood sugar to remain stable, you have to eat foods that are heavy and dense and thick—these foods take longer to digest and therefore the sugar goes into the blood stream in a more sustained way. A good example of a thick, fibrous food would be the humble lentil. If you took a single lentil and put it under a microscope you would see that it is very dense and fibrous with no air holes. If you had a machine that could enlarge the lentil into a giant lentil the size of a rock, you would notice that it would be very heavy too. A lentil also happens to be full of protein. So, a lentil would be an ideal slow-burn food.

Natural muesli is a heavy food as compared to Rice Crispies. Anything brown or with a skin on it is going to be heavier than the white version of it (brown rice, brown pasta, whole, unprocessed foods.) Most green vegetables are going to be fibrous and fruit with skin on it is going to be higher in fibre than the peeled version. So far so good?
