Читать книгу The Ultimate PCOS Handbook: Lose weight, boost fertility, clear skin and restore self-esteem - Theresa Cheung - Страница 68

The GI alone is not the best way to determine how PCOS-friendly a food is. For example, ice cream and sponge cake are listed as low GI because they’re high in fat, and fat slows down the speed at which your body releases sugar – but these foods are also low in nutrients and high in calories. You’ll also find that some highly nutritious foods, rich in vitamins and minerals, such as carrots and parsnips are high on the GI because they convert to sugar quickly. But given the choice between carrot sticks or ice cream for a snack, it’s not rocket science to work out which is healthier!
