Carbohydrates (Carbs)

In order to understand the glycemic index, we should define carbohydrates. Carbs are molecules that consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are found in most foods. Carbs are the body's primary fuel source. Carbs are converted in your liver to glucose also called blood sugar. As the liver creates glucose, your pancreas releases the insulin hormone. Insulin stimulates the cells to receive the glucose. The cells metabolize the glucose and use the glucose for energy.

The Glycemic Index

The glycemic index measures the rate carbohydrates raise glucose levels. The GI has a range of 0 to 100.  Low GI carbs raise glucose at a slow rate. Medium GI carbs raise glucose at a moderate rate. High GI carbs raise glucose at a fast rate.

The Glycemic Index Scale

Foods with a GI of 0 to 55 are considered low glycemic. Low glycemic carbohydrates are those that do not create a sharp raise to blood sugar levels. Foods with a GI of 56 to 69 are considered medium glycemic. Foods with a GI over 70 are considered high glycemic. Certain foods do not have any carbohydrates. These foods would have a GI of 0.

Glycemic Index Limitations

The Glycemic index is based on how fast carbohydrates spike blood sugar levels. It does not consider the amount of insulin produced. The GI is based on 50 grams of carbohydrates and do not represent usual serving sizes. Foods that are nutritionally dense can have the same GI of nutritional foods. Therefore the GI can be easily misinterpreted.

The Glycemic Load (GL)

To address the limitations of the glycemic index, the glycemic load was created. The glycemic load improves on the glycemic index by combining the glycemic index with the carbohydrates per serving, with the fiber content and the water content. The GL scale ranges from 0 to 60.

The Glycemic Load Scale.

Foods with a GL of 0 to 10 are considered low. Foods with a GL of 11 to 19 are considered medium. Foods with a GL over 20 are considered high. As with the glycemic index, foods with no carbohydrates have a GL of 0.

The Acne Insulin Connection

Following a low glycemic diet, will keep insulin at nontoxic levels. Excess insulin leads to excess sebum production which will ultimately cause acne breakouts.

Resources

When you're not using your Cookbook, you should use a glycemic index database when planning your own meals. The University of Sydney has a great look up tool on its website.  For your convenience, has searched the database for common food groups. See the “LOW GLYCEMIC QUICK LINKS SECTION” on the right hand side of this blog. Visit the "RESOURCES" page for additional tools and resources.

Protein is found in every living cell in the human body Lean Protein
Protein is found in every living cell in the human body. Protein is crucial in building and maintaining healthy bones, muscles and skin. Protein from animal products is the best form. Animal protein provides the human body with all of the vital amino acids the body needs. On average, a person needs 50 to 65 grams of protein each day. Lean proteins are those containing less than 10 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 95 milligrams of cholesterol per serving.

Red Meat

Red meat has been vilified as an unhealthy meat choice. However, research has shown that red meat should not be eliminated from our diets, especially acne sufferers. Recent trends show some acne sufferers have become resistant to antibiotic treatments for acne.  Zinc has become an alternative route in the treatment of acne. Red meat is an excellent source of zinc. Zinc is an essential nutrient required for the normal function of skin. This would explain why acne sufferers are often deficient in zinc.   The human body absorbs zinc best from animal proteins. An acne fighting diet should consist of lean cuts of beef such as round, chuck, sirloin and tenderloin. Avoid beef cuts that are labeled “Prime” instead opt for “Choice” or “Select” cuts as they are usually lower in fat. Lean cuts of lamb include tenderloin, loin chops and leg.  

 Pork

Pork is not generally considered a healthy meat choice. However, certain cuts of pork are lower in fat than poultry. Ideal selections should include tenderloin, top loin chop, top loin roast, and center loin chop. Some healthy ways of preparing pork are broiling, grilling, pan broiling and stir-frying. There’s a great guide on consuming lean pork that can be downloaded here. 

Poultry & Eggs

Lean sources of poultry include the white meat of turkey, chicken and hen. Preparing the white meat of poultry without its skin will lower its saturated fat content. When buying ground poultry, be sure to choose ground breast meats marked “Low Fat”.  Eggs are naturally low fat. Healthy adults can eat one egg a day without any complications. People with heart disease, diabetes or high cholesterol should restrict egg servings. Those individuals wishing to avoid the cholesterol in eggs can prepare egg whites only. There is no cholesterol in egg whites.

Fish & Seafood
Protein is found in every living cell in the human body Lean Protein
Fish and seafood are generally lean sources of protein. However, there are some fatty fish which are loaded with omega 3 fatty acids. Read more on healthy fats here. Some lean fish selections include cod, flounder, haddock, hake, tilapia, halibut and tuna. Some lean seafood include mussels, oysters, crab, clams, lobster, scallops and shrimp.  To maintain its healthy fat quality, fish and seafood should be grilled, baked or broiled.  

 Remember!

Protein is found in every living cell in the human body Lean Protein
A diet consisting of low glycemic carbohydrates is not a standalone treatment for acne. Consuming lean proteins is equally important when attempting to decrease acne outbreaks. Be sure to eat a source of lean protein with every meal! The Cookbook is loaded with delicious recipes featuring lean proteins.

How is Adult Acne is Formed?
What is Acne?" post. Adult acne is becoming more and more common.

Hormonal Disharmony

Acne can essentially be considered a hormonal disorder. Hormones play different roles during the life cycle. Therefore, adults can experience adverse reactions to hormones just as when they were teenagers.

Males

Males do not experience drastic hormonal fluctuations after puberty. Therefore, acne in adult males is usually derived from outside influences on hormone levels. Some outside influences could include diet, medications, or physical ailments. 

 Females

Adult acne is more common in females than males. Females experience more hormonal fluctuations.Therefore, adverse reactions to these fluctuations are common.  Females are likely to have acne lesions due to pregnancies, menstrual cycles, peri-menopause and menopause. Females are also likely to have acne breakouts after beginning or discontinuing birth control pills.
