Maintaining a Stable Blood Glucose Level
Introduction
It's important to maintain a stable level of blood glucose throughout the day for optimal health. When our blood glucose dips too low it can lead to fatigue, headaches, unsaturated cravings, and an overwhelming urge to eat unhealthy snacks. However, when our blood glucose is kept at a stable level, we can regulate our energy and be in better control of our dietary habits.
Eating After Waking
We suggest eating 2-3 hours after waking up. This initial meal sets the tone for the rest of the day, providing the body with the glucose it needs to maintain a good level throughout the day.
Eating Regularly
Continuing to eat something every 2-3 hours can help maintain stable blood glucose. When we eat meals and snacks on a consistent basis, we prevent our body from thinking it's in starvation mode and can decrease cravings.
We recommend planning a few meals and snacks throughout the day that offer a balanced mix of nutrients. This ensures the body is getting enough carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats.
Conclusion
We suggest eating 2-3 hours after waking up, then eating something every 2-3 hours throughout the day to help maintain a stable blood glucose level. This prevents your body from going into starvation mode and creating strong cravings.
By staying consistent with eating, we can keep our blood glucose levels steady and increase our energy, mood and satisfaction with each meal.
