In order to reduce the glycemic load in the daily nutrition of diabetics, obese and for weight-reducing diets, this invention claims cooking or baking processes and other procedures for food—rich in carbohydrates—in which, the structure of the raw complex carbohydrates (amylose, amylopectin, etc.) is mostly preserved and / or short saccharides are encapsulated. This objective is attained by reducing the magnitude of the complex carbohydrate fractioning by the undesired effect of adiabatic heating during grain grinding, or during conventional cooking and also through the encapsulation of already processed monosaccharide's, disaccharides or broken carbohydrate chains in capsules within denaturalized protein matrixes, in order to make their digestion deeper and longer. These processes and procedures allow the ingestion of less restricted portions of food, very similar to the conventional ones (bread, rice, potato, pastas) while due to their prolonged digestion, it naturally limits the immediate production of glucose. This type of food is defined as: “Deep Diet” or “Deep Nutrition” (Dieta Profunda in Spanish). These processes and procedures allow preparing food recipes and flavors very similar to those of a conventional nature (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta) while because of their prolonged digestion are able to reduce the immediate production of glucose (Glycemic Index), thus generating healthier conditions for diabetics and obese, appetite satisfaction and reduction of food anxiety.
