Easy to over consume & may be addictive.High glycemic effect (big increase in blood glucose level, which then requires a spike in insulin to regulate it).Low nutritional value (processing removes most fibre and vitamins).Then in regard to the highly glycemic, popular staples bread, pasta, potatoes and cereals…īread & Pasta – Jason suggests the consumption of bread and pasta should be minimized for a number of reasons:

Don’t let manufacturers trick you into consuming excess sugar under the guise of a different name. *Other common names for sugar are sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, dextrose, molasses, hydrolyzed starch, honey, inverted sugar, cane sugar, glucose-fructose, high fructose corn syrup, brown sugar, corn sweetener, rice/corn/cane/maple/malt/golden/palm syrup and agave nectar. Save less healthy desserts for special occasions, but don’t make them a regular occurrence. Replace with seasonal fruits (optionally with whipped cream) or dark chocolate.

Desserts – these are generally high in sugar and should be avoided.

Candy – It probably goes without saying that chocolate and sweets should be avoided completely (except for dark chocolate that’s 70% cacao content or greater).

As do commercial salad dressings and ketchup.

Sauces – Barbecue, plum, honey garlic, hoisin, sweet & sour and other dipping sauces contain large amounts of sugar.

Constant stimulation of insulin leads to insulin insensitivity.

Snacks – Jason recommends you cut out all snacks between meals.

See below for other common names of sugar*. Check food & drink labels to ensure sugar hasn’t been added to anything you buy.

Sugar – Don’t add it to anything you eat or drink.

Jason mentions a few specific examples of what not to eat:

Choose only natural, unprocessed foods.

Maximize protective factors such as fiber and vinegar.

Reduce intake of refined grains and sugars.

Instead Jason outlines some general principles for eating: The book doesn’t tell you specifically each and every food you should eat. What to Eat & What Not to Eat What to Eat?
