37. Popcorn
Popcorn may seem a better choice than other high GI foods, but it still has a GI of 55. In addition, popcorn is often covered with butter. Therefore, it has the potential to increase acne and make it harder to reduce skin conditions. Try eating alternative snacks like roasted nuts or sweet potato chips.
Adding more salads and fresh vegetables to the diet can also decrease the cravings for popcorn. Crunchy vegetables like radishes and kohlrabi are rich in fibers, antioxidants, B vitamins and minerals like calcium and potassium.
