wow what great tips!
most average joes dont understand the concept of insulin and how to balance it and make it work for you
“With all this knowledge, you may be asking how you can manipulate insulin to do what you want. There are three keys to controlling insulin:”
1. Don’t eat too much during each meal (particularly carbs) and try to spread out your meals to keep insulin levels moderately low.
this is why portion control is sooo important
2. Mediate the insulin response of meals with sufficient amounts of fat and protein, which lower the glycemic load of the meal and reduce the insulin response.
thats why eat meal should be planned out.. a carb with added protein and (optional) fat
3. Exercise causes a cellular adaptation that makes it easier to transport glucose into cells. This actually reduces insulin secretion and ensures that any available excess glucose is used to provide energy to cells and replenish glycogen stores—not to create fat.
um this is a no brainer.. get moving people!
Insulin can be your best friend if you utilize it properly, or your worst nightmare if you don’t pay attention to it. If you bombard your bloodstream with glucose, you run the risk of increasing fat storage and growth. Even worse, if your cells become resistant and stop responding to insulin due to overexposure, you can develop diabetes.
