Are your "highs and lows " stalling your weight loss progress?

That is various types of foods you are consuming that lead to blood sugar spikes...

If our goal is health and weight loss related, constant blood sugar spikes are something we want to avoid...

A blood sugar spike is caused when a high energy food is eaten and then this quickly enters the blood stream...

Insulin is the hormone the body releases to 'unlock' the energy and send it to the muscles and liver...

If there is a surplus, this gets converted to body fat...

Most of the population consume food that is predominantly high energy...

It has changed recently but typically 70% of people's daily food intake is Carbohydrate...

Most people's days don't require much need for energy...

That means blood sugar going up and down all day...

In fact if you want to spot this, it's usually apparent in a persons's personality, highs and lows...

How do we stabilise blood sugar?...

By moderating high energy carbohydrates and slightly increasing foods containing healthy protein and healthy fat...

When blood sugar is stabilised and we have some fuel in our system, to get more the body uses body fat for fuel which leads to fat loss...

Everyone knows someone in their social circle who has personality highs and lows cause by fluctuating blood sugar and if you are struggling to think who it is, then maybe it's you!

Until next week,
