Macro partitioning

Dietary fiber is a more reliable predictor of satiety and metabolic health than Glycemic Index, as low-GI diets often derive their benefits from higher fiber content rather than the glycemic response itself.

Prioritize fiber over Glycemic Index. If you are choosing between carbohydrate sources, pick the one with more fiber (vegetables, legumes, whole grains) rather than worrying about whether it spikes blood sugar quickly. High-fiber foods naturally promote fullness and better metabolic markers, making the GI calculation unnecessary for most people.
