Does Cooking Alter Glycaemic Index and Glycaemic Load?

How Cooking Alters Glycaemic Index and Glycaemic Load

Lower GI (Glycaemic Index)/GL (Glycaemic Load) is linked to better blood sugar management, weight control, and heart health. Cooking time, processing (refining grains removes fibre), and ripeness (overripe fruits have more sugar) all raise GI. Cooling some cooked foods (rice, pasta) can create resistant starch, lowering GI. Cooking methods like boiling/steaming are better than frying for lower GI. Pairing carbs with protein and fat can slow sugar absorption and reduce GI. Choose whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins over processed foods for better blood sugar management. Global regulations for GI labeling may vary by country.

Update on The Simplyweight Online Plan

As of 2nd May 2025, the Simplyweight Online Plan will be retired in its current form.

The app was offered complimentary to users receiving our medication service, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who engaged with it. This isn’t a goodbye but rather a positive step forward in the evolution of Simplyweight.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working steadily on new services that are more in tune with our vision, and we believe they’ll bring even more value to our customers.

Thank you for being with us. We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to sharing it with you in time.
