I never understood why people think any carb will "spike" insulin levels.

I know that your online grammar is horrific. I know you wouldn't be saying these things if I hadn't told you you were wrong. I know I've been through things you probably never have and never will go through (and I'm glad, because I wouldn't wish it on anybody), but from those experiences I learned what you probably never learn. I know you take things too personally. I know that you would come off as more mature if you fixed your typing errors.Originally Posted by Big Navforum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=527284

A 100 rating has the greatest effect of insulin release in the body, therefore the lower the rating the lower the release. This is relevant because circulating insulin levels has a direct correlation between fat loss. If you are engaging in a fat loss program, you want to try and keep your insulin levels nice and low so your body will used stored energy (bodyfat) for energy. This means avoiding sugary foods and getting your carb supplies from low GI sources, such as sweet potato's
I personally like sweet potato's regardless. They taste great (baked are awesome) and have only 17g carbs per 100 grams
