I was going to say I rarely eat pasta, but dang if I didn't eat some ravioli tonight. (trying to bulk up a bit). I'd like to learn more about this alleged "conversion" process claimed by the author. It sounds interesting, but from someone like me that needs someone to "sho' me the money" before I buy in, need to understand better how this process works. If you recall, it was Dr. Oz until just recently, was extoling the virtues of green tea extract as a beneficial way to lose weight. (Until Congress called him in front and center and told him to knock it off, as it is "unproven").

I don't necessarily agree. The more blood sugar spikes, the more insulin gets dumped, and the less sensitive you become to the effects of insulin, requiring ever increasing amounts of insulin to do the job, to a point where you may become Type2. It's a thing to take note of as you age. Many are here to "just get pumped", but I'm here for the complete package, kind of a mix between a body builder and a life extender.

If you take a look at the article I posted it goes into detail as to why these theories are outdated.

I thought the same until Jason blaha mentioned GI being irrelevant, and his information usually being very well backed and new, I had to look into it. I found this article useful.

bookmarked.
thanks.

I skimmed the article, and didn't notice my concern being addressed. maybe it did and I missed it. but my concern is that over the years, there is a tendency for some to become less sensitive to insulin and the effects it provides. so, maybe this is a myth, but then the body needs to produce more insulin to achieve the same effect. mopping up excess blood sugar. this is what was being preached (I''m not sure how many) years ago.

You're assuming high GI always spike blood sugar when in fact the spike can be blunted by eating those foods with protein, fat, or fiber. These macros slow down digestion rates so that even a high GI carb will be slowly digested and absorbed.
