High Glycemic Food are foods high in sugar which when consumed on a regular basis will create havoc with your metabolism.
Your metabolism depends on a steady flow of sugar or glucose in order to function at its best.
When you flood your system with too much sugar you create metabolic problems that can lead to high cholesterol, weight gain, and blood sugar issues.
Fiber helps to slow down the amount of sugar that enters your system and is one of the ways to control your metabolism.
Choosing one of the healthier higher glycemic foods is a better option than choosing one that offers no fiber or essential nutrients.

Most of these foods are considered junk foods and really have no place in sound nutrition. There are a few exceptions such as dried fruit and other whole foods.
Dried fruit such as figs, raisins, apricots, and plums (aka prunes) come with a lot of important minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and even calcium.
Including a few pieces of dried fruit in your diet every now and then will probably benefit your body more than hurt it.
