Pancakes and bacon are a better bet than pancakes alone.
There are a few other sugars, like lactose, that you may have heard of.
After digestion, it turns into a pile of glucose (but more on that in a minute.)
Thats why there are so manybacteria living in our large intestine: they digest the fiber that we cant.
Carbs include all three of these things, but we often use the word to refer to starch.
If the symptoms are mild, your body may be doing just fine at tolerating high-carb meals.
The protein and fat slow down how quickly your intestinal cells can shovel sugar into your bloodstream.
Your sugar levels are likely to ramp back down rather than plummet.
So the charts are comparing, say, a slice of bread to a bucket of watermelon.
If youre looking up glycemic load, dont forget that you digestmeals, not foods.
If youre ordering dinner, slow down your pasta with acreamy sauceand a side salad.
And if youre eating pancakes, dont forget the side of bacon.
