Foods to Avoid – High Glycemic

We gave you our list of foods to try include in your daily diet, those that are low glycemic and won’t push your blood sugar levels up. Well, here’s a list to avoid or at least use very sparingly.

Vegetables

• Potato
• Corn (canned or frozen)
• Parsnips
• Winter Squash

Fruits
