Americans who describe their diets as “not healthy” have tried to lose weight about nine times in their lives 9️⃣⁣
⁣
65% of dieters return to their pre-diet weight within three years 😟⁣
⁣
When will we stop looking for the perfect diet to get skinny and instead focus on giving our bodies the nutrients it needs?🥗🍗🍑🍓🥑🥩⁣
⁣
Healthy eating is a habit, not a temporary diet ✅⁣

Prediabetes is most common in people between the ages of 25 and 44, with 70.5% of prediabetes cases occurring in this age group 🧐⁣
⁣
The risk of prediabetes increases after age 35, and continues to increase after age 65 📈⁣
⁣
So…Prediabetes occurs mostly in older adults…that’s a myth 🦄

The key to good breakfast options 🗝️⁣

There are diminishing returns when it comes to eating carbohydrates 📉⁣
⁣
Recent research* showed that after animal subjects were given a high sugar diet, their satiety response decreased when exposed to a high-carb food 🍪🥯🍰⁣
⁣
The more highly refined carbs were given, the more the animals couldn’t “sense” the energy the foods provided 🧐⁣
⁣
This could explain why it becomes easier to consume greater and greater amounts of high carb foods such as potato chips, popcorn, candy, etc. without feeling full or satisfied 🙁⁣

All nuts provide healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals 🥜🌰⁣
⁣
But they differ in their carb counts 🧐⁣
⁣
These numbers are for approximately 100 grams/3.5 ounces or about 3 handfuls.⁣
⁣
And as with many snacks, it’s always best to pour a small bowl and put the bag away ✅⁣

It happens 😵‍💫⁣
⁣
Sometimes we overdo it and consume too many carbs 🤢⁣
⁣
You can't erase them, but you can respond in a way that will be easier on your system.⁣
⁣
🩷 Carbs and sugar dehydrate, so drink plenty of water⁣
⁣
❤️ Vigorous exercise is not necessary (or helpful) but a 20-30 minute walk is proven to improve insulin sensitivity⁣
⁣
🧡 Consider taking apple cider vinegar: Some people find that apple cider vinegar can help lower blood sugar levels after a high-carb meal. You can mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with water.⁣
⁣
💛 If you have diabetes or are concerned about blood sugar spikes, check your blood sugar levels if you have a monitoring device. This can help you gauge the impact of your carb and sugar intake.⁣
⁣
The takeaway is to not just “wait it out”. Do something that will help mitigate the adverse effects ⚖️⁣

If you have prediabetes, this doesn't mean you can never drink coffee or tea 🧐⁣
⁣
But if you're struggling with getting your blood sugar balanced, it could be helpful to take a closer look at the amount of caffeinated drinks you're consuming ☕️🫖🥤⁣
⁣
It it's more than two per day, cutting back (and then measuring your blood sugar) could help you identify if it's a problem 🔍⁣

It can be challenging to be watching your carbohydrate and sugar intake 👀⁣
⁣
and seeing others enjoy sugary treats ☹️⁣
⁣
Yep, it's pumpkin spice latte season 🎃⁣
⁣
But you can still enjoy one by using one of the many sugar free syrups available 👍🏼⁣
⁣
I personally like NuNaturals' Pumpkin Spice Syrup.⁣
⁣
It's stevia-sweetened, so there's no harsh chemicals.⁣
⁣
You can find it on Amazon.⁣
⁣
Cut the carbs but enjoy the season 🍂🍁⁣

There are a ton of supplements that 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙢 to help with blood sugar management.⁣
⁣
But berberine is one that has been shown in research* to be effective 👩🏽‍🔬⁣
⁣
On a recent 𝘏𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘣 podcast, it was even stated that it can be as effective as Metformin but without the adverse effects to mitochondria.⁣
⁣
I've found 𝙑𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙉𝙪𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝘽𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙚 to work well 😃⁣
⁣
Of course always check in with you doctor before starting a new supplement ✅⁣
