When eating carbs, we should want a steady blood sugar increase with a steady insulin response. We want to avoid big spikes or quick bursts
The most important way to do this is through carb selection
#1 PICK THEN RIGHT
Chose mostly high fiber carbs, even when chosing starchy carbs like potato.Β Keep the skin on and don't overcook. Mostly importantly, avoid ultra processed carbs that are quick digesting due to our body's not needing to process or break them down. This includes packaged goods, baked goods, cereals, most breads, most crackers, granola, etc.Β This also includes alot of protein bars on the market.
Choose fruits and veggies that are high in fiber and whole grains if you tolerate them
2.Β TIME THEM RIGHT
To avoid a hormonal disruption and encourage insulin sensitivity, eating carbs when our bodies are in need of them for energy is a major gamechanger!Β
Eat carbs around your workout and at your busiest time of day. For most of us, that's midmorning thru early afternoon. Try to eat less carbs at more sedentary times, as we don't need the energy as much and our cells may reject the sugar.Β Muscles store sugar so eat carbs when our muscles will be ready for more!
3.Β EAT THEM RIGHT
When it comes to our plate, save starchy carbs to eat last. This will give you a more steady insulin release.Β Start with fibrous veggies, protein and any fat, then finish with carbs.Β When this can't be reasonable, like a taco, include a hack
#4 HACK WHEN NEEDED
Hacks aren't for all occasions the time!Β They are when you need a little help
Choose from things like 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or a serving of raw veggies before the meal, or plan a walk after meal!
