Shakeology Glycemic Index Rating
I would consider myself to be a skeptical person. I normally don’t fall for all the hype and marketing ploys that companies uses to market their products. I’m more of a “prove it” and “believe it when I see it” type of guy. This is why I was pleased to see the Glycemic Index Score that was recently given to Shakeology.
Shakeology was tested by Glycemic Index Laboratories and given the amazing score of 24, which is in fact a better score than most fruits, some vegetables and virtually every processed food ever made. It’s even lower on the GI (Glycemic Index) than an apple!
Glycemic Index is a way to measure how carbohydrates react in your blood. When you eat carbs, your blood sugar level rises anywhere from a little to a lot. The GI uses a scale of 1 to 100, with higher numbers given to foods that cause the most rapid rise in blood sugar. These foods give a quick energy boost, often followed by a crash as your blood sugar drops rapidly, leaving you feeling sluggish, tired and even irritated.
The body needs carbs for fuel, but you need to feed it the right kind of carbs – ideally, foods found with a low rating on the Glycemic Index. Included on this list are whole grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and, now confirmed… Shakeology.
Foods with a GI score of 55 or less are considered low on the Glycemic Index.
The question arises all the time about the sugar content in Shakeology – especially the fructose. Don’t confuse this with high-fructose corn syrup, which is a sugar substitute used in many processed foods and soft drinks. Fructose is a natural sugar found in fruits and some vegetables and is very low on the GI. We source natural non-GMO fructose to give Shakeology its great taste and also make its nutrition more bio-available (don’t be impressed, I learned that word from my wife).
Did I mention that Shakeology low GI score means it’s also okay for diabetics? Well, it is! We hear from customers all the time who use Shakeology as part of their balanced diet to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
There are a lot of impressive numbers associated with this Shakeology. 140 (the number of calories per serving). 70 (the number of healthy ingredients). And now 24!
