Way #10 The Glycemic Index is your friend
For all the talk about Glycemic Index or G.I. not much is given in terms of practical knowledge. The G.I. is an indicator for how quickly a carb is processed by your system. Highly refined foods (e.g. sugar, white bread, white pasta) are like throwing a cup of gasoline on a fire, a flash of energy, then a need for more fuel. Complex sugars, whole grains, natural beans and so on, are more like a log, energy that burns more evenly and longer.
I don't think it is a coincidence that the closer a food is to it's natural state the better suited it is for your body.
And for a bonus, it does not take long before your body actually craves the healthier alternative.
