The Diet Riot
So you want to experiment, but don’t know where to start.
Unfortunately, glycemic indexes are not all intuition. Often foods you think
might have a low GI end up being high. Here are some examples of what to eat
and when.
Low and Slow—Eat within one hour of your workout:
• Apple • Spaghetti
• Lentils • Low-fat milk
• Yogurt with fruit
The Midline—Intake during exercise to keep a constant flow of energy. A sports drink might be a better choice for someone who might be sensitive to solid foods during exercise. Other foods include:
• Carrots • Figs
• Oatmeal • Granola bar
• Juice
Sky High—Consume post-exercise to quickly replenish lost stores of glycogen:
• Bagel • Baked potato
• Waffles • Rice cakes
