Is there any value in considering glycemic index? Or complete ignore?
Discussion
No.
Both glcemic load and indexes include foods with industrial additives, which undermine sugar metabolism (our primary metabolism).
Instead, divide food into natural, minimally processed foods vs foods with industrial additives (mainly seed oils).
Then stick with natural foods, reduce stress, repair thyroid+thiamine status, and gradually revitalize sugar metabolism.
Beyond ditching industrial foods, tending to your digestion, motility, and body temps are good ways for determing what your body considers low stress, high energy.
