glycemic index and fat storage

Glycemic index (GI) refers to a measure that ranks carbohydrate-containing foods based on the rate at which they raise blood sugar levels. It assists in understanding how different foods affect our blood sugar levels. On the other hand, fat storage refers to the process where excess energy from the food we consume is converted and stored as fat for future use. The relationship between glycemic index and fat storage lies in the fact that consuming high-glycemic index foods can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels, triggering the release of insulin. Insulin promotes fat storage, potentially leading to weight gain or difficulties in losing weight.
