What foods are high on the glycemic index?

What are some low-glycemic index low-protein foods?

  • http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2673798/ Protein restriction could be just as important as calorie restriction for longevity, if not more important, given how much protein stimulates IGF-I. Many of the healthy low-GI foods (lentils, nuts, etc) are quite high in protein.

  • Answer:

    Many high-fat foods are both low GI and low protein--avocado, macadamia nuts, cream, olive oil, egg yolk.  Also, a lot of salad vegetables--arugula, spinach, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes.  Cauliflower, sauerkraut, zucchini, broccoli.  Cantaloupe, raspberries, blackberries and many other fruits are relatively low GI.  We all need protein, but how much has been controversial.

Low GI and low protein foods would be non starchy veggies and high fiber fruits. Whole grains such as bulgur, oats, brown rice are all relatively low GI low protein foods.

Ghee, butter, lard, cream, olive oil and coconut oil.   All of these are zero GI and zero protein.  Most nuts are low GI but not low protein.  Green fibrous  non starchy vegetables are low GI but not all of them low protein.  http://Fenufibre.com is 96% fibre substitute and 4â„… protein. Bitter gourd is 4% carb,  3% fibre and near zero protein - definitely a low GI low protein healthy product.
