The glycemic index is a way of calculating the rate by which blood glucose levels rise in response to different food types, with pure glucose producing a reading of 100. The glycemic index measures how fast a particular food triggers a spike in blood glucose. Higher-glycemic foods prompt an elevated insulin release because the pancreas is stimulated to metabolize the sudden surge of glucose into the blood.

High Glycemic index carbohydrates can cause major problems in your weight loss program. High Glycemic foods elevate your insulin levels. High insulin levels drive sugars into your cells for fat storage. Your body is programmed to do this so that you can survive a famine if necessary. Unfortunately this programming also makes you fat.

If you eat High Glycemic foods your body releases large amounts of insulin which makes you extremely hungry in only a few hours after it drives all the sugars into your cells. This is precisely what happens to cattle when they are fattened in a feed lot. Insulin makes experimental animals hyperphagic (eat abnormally large amounts of food), and hyperobese. So avoid the high Glycemic foods and stick the suggestion of the low Glycemic list. This will take you out of what I call "feed lot syndrome".
