Your glycaemic response to a food also depends on the other foods you eat with it. You can eat healthy high-GI foods such as carrots or parsnips in a meal that also contains fibre, protein and essential fats which slow down the speed at which your body releases sugar from your meal.

For example, have a high-GI baked potato with low-fat cheese (protein) and a green salad (fibre), or higher-GI carrot soup sprinkled with seeds (essential fats) and whole grain pitta (fibre) stuffed with lean chicken (protein). That way you’ll get all the nutrients from healthy high-GI foods while minimizing the effect on your blood sugar.
