These are some of the common ways your body is telling you that you might be experiencing a bit of a glucose rollercoaster.
We now know that blood sugar balance plays an important role in how we feel on a daily basis and also in our risk for longer term health conditions. Balancing our blood sugar can help in reducing these symptoms!
Are you constantly hungry? Do you have intense cravings? You are not alone and there might be an explanation for it!
When we experience a spike in our blood sugar, we will subsequently experience a crash. The higher the spike the more intense the crash which makes our body crave higher calorie foods. Flattening our glucose curves can lead to fewer cravings
Here is one way to flatten your glucose curve significantly:
Eating your foods in the correct order can help reduce your glucose spikes by 75% !!
Imagine having a plate of food in front of you.. Eat your foods in this order:
Eat your vegetables first
Eat your protein / fat second
Eat your sugar/carbohydrate/starch last
When we eat foods in this order the fiber from the vegetables has time to coat our intestinal lining and reduces how much glucose we absorb from the starches and sugars.
Don’t worry if you can’t do this all the time, just do it when it’s easy!
