slowing down carb absorbtion - Sunday, July 06, 2008 1:19 PM
say your eating something with a little bit of sugar in it like...milk or total cereal.  If you ate peanut butter with it or something high in fat would that slow down the absorbtion of the sugar and create a smaller insulin spike??  How about casein protein?? I read once that the sugars in milk are slower absorbing than most sugars just because its in slow absorbing protein...

eat something with fiber in it, that slows down the digestion process

it really slows it down if you don't eat any 

nah, but i don't really know.  there are two types of  carbs; active and free.  the free are better i guess if you're worried about carb intake since they fill the void of hunger when you're on a diet

Well you cant avoid it all.  The sugar that i get basically all comes from milk, whey protein, and the tiny amount in cheerios because ive been eaitng them lately.

yes eating sugar with a good amount of protein or fat will slow down the absorbtion on sugar
 
thats why ice cream is considered low on the GI, it has 9 grams of fat and a good amount of protein

x2 protein and fats digest slower compared to simple carbs
