the question today is should you eat

carrots on keto well what is the

glycemic index of carrots basically it’s

72 it’s high now what is the glycemic

index it is a scale of carbohydrates and

how fast that carbohydrate will raise

your blood sugar so below 255 is low

above 70 is high carrots

72 it’s pretty high however we have to

look at the whole picture here because

there’s something else called the

glycemic load which is the amount of

carbohydrates in a food and the glycemic

load will increase on more quantity but

it also takes in consideration the fiber

as well because if we have a lot of

fiber and low carbohydrate it’s going to

definitely influenced this glycemic

index so the calculation is this oh I

see make index times the amount of carbs

divided by a hundred less than 10 would

be low over 21 would be high so if we

take 72 which is the glycemic index

times 4 grams of carbs for a

medium-sized carrot divided by a hundred

equals two point eight eight which is

very very very low I mean it would take

a lot of carrots to create any real

impact why is that because carrots even

know it’s high in the glycemic index has

a tremendous amount of fiber so that is

gonna buffer or inhibit this glycemic

reaction however if you took the carrot

juice out of the carrot fiber that would

be very very high on the glycemic index

because we’re dealing with just pure

sugar because that’s gonna create a huge

spike in the glycemic response and also

there’s other variables like cooking the

carrots and that can also raise the

glycemic index as well however if you’re

doing raw carrots and you’re not going

crazy with too many it’s gonna be

totally fine on keto you don’t have to

worry about it alright thanks for
