Carbs and Fiber in Cocoa Krispies Food Item: KELLOGG'S Cocoa Krispies Cocoa Krispies, Diet & Weight LossAlthough many cereals have vitamins added, many cereal-brands typically contain refined carbohydrates. These refined carbs are digested quite fast and may contribute to spikes in blood sugar levels, causing appetite swings and food cravings. The negative effects of these "refined carbs" are one reason why so many obesity patients are turning to low carb diets for improved health and weight control. (A low carb weight loss plan is a ketogenic type diet which puts the body into ketosis, and burns fat by a process known as gluconeogenesis.) For more details about carbs in cereal, see below. Cocoa Krispies, Blood Glucose, Glycemic IndexWith the exception of bran-based and wholegrain cereal, most breakfast cereals (like Cocoa Krispies) are typically quite high on the glycemic index. Which means they raise blood glucose levels quite fast. The health risks of high glycemic food - when eaten to excess over time - include a higher risk of Hyperinsulimia, and Insulin Resistance, leading to Diabetes. Note also the twin phenomena: Diabesity & Metabolic Syndrome (also called Insulin Resistance Syndrome). For best glucose metabolism and to reduce the risk of insulin resistance and obesity from refined carbs, increase your intake of wholegrain cereal (eg. oat-based brands) or any bran-type breakfast cereal. Note: Nutritional values in some breakfast cereals can vary, so the above carbohydrate details for Cocoa Krispies are intended as a guideline only. |
