Hey mate,
The best way to control your insulin levels is by having a look at the glycemic index on foods (GI) The GI is a way of measuring how quickly foods get digested and how fast glycogen (sugar) gets put into the blood stream. What you heard is semi correct. Insulin levels will only climb and distribute the glycogen to fat if there is a flood of sugar to the blood stream Choosing low GI foods such as wholemeal breads and pasta will slow the release of sugar in the bloodstream and your body will not need to flood the body with insulin. GI is kinda tricky to guess how ever. For example plain white jasmine rice is high GI which is bad where White basmati rice is low GI which is good. Both taste and look similar but have a much different effect on the body. If you google Glycemic Index you should find alot on the subject. You can also by books listing the rating on foods. On top of that most products will now have a (GI) rating somewhere on the box. Remember the lower the better. Choosing low GI foods will help you keep off weight but also it will help you stay energised for longer.
protein, fat and fibre help you produce less insulin. also avoid sugar as much as possible :]]
