hey guys I recent had a question from

someone that wanted to know if it’s okay

to consume berries why can’t I have

fruit okay because they’re so similar

well let’s just talk about berries

berries actually have a pretty low

glycemic index it’s not a hundred

percent but it’s it’s on the low side

okay but berries also have a low

glycemic load which is a little

different so glycemic index is things

that turn into sugar fast glycemic load

is how much carbohydrate is in that that

quantity so in other words carrots have

a high glycemic index but they have a

low glycemic low because of all the

fiber so it’s really not going to affect

the blood Sugar’s too much so these are

very fibrous and they actually very low

on the glycemic load six point five when

even if it was ten or less that would be

low so it’s well within the range so

that’s why you can consume you know a

cup of berries a day easily so if this

if each one of these were three-fourths

of a cup you’re talking about four

carbohydrates four blackberries

raspberries would be five carbohydrates

now realize your range is between twenty

and fifty grams so this is well within

your range strawberries six okay

blueberries are twelve but again the

glycemic load is very low so it’s not

going to be too much of a problem now

let’s shift to fruits the lemons of

course are for its pretty low right with

the sugar of 1.5 so lemons are not going

to be a problem at all

but look what a peach a peach is 12 but

the sugars are 13 so fruits typically

have a higher glycemic load even though

they have fiber an apple 25 grams of

carbohydrate for a medium apple with 19

grams of sugar that’s all a lot of sugar

okay banana 27 grams of carbohydrate

with 14 grams of sugar pretty high but

not as high as an apple grapes 16 grams

of carbohydrate with 15 grams of sugar

it’s too high and this is why we don’t

want to do fruit

Nikita so we have a couple things to

look at we have the glycemic index we

have the amount of carbohydrate we also

have the amount of sugar and we also

have to look at the glycemic load as

well and how dense is that fiber and and

how that affects the blood sugars

alright thanks for watching

hi guys listen I want to thank you so

much for your wonderful comments and I

want to ask you if you wouldn’t mind

giving me your review on Google I put a

link down below I’d really appreciate it

and thank you in advance
