Controlling Blood Sugar Level
Learn how to control your blood sugar level and manage your weight with one simple blood sugar secret.
What is it Blood sugar and how do you control it
Your blood sugar level determines how much sugar is in your blood. When you eat carbohydrates, they’re digested and absorbed into the bloodstream in the form of glucose (aka blood sugar). This causes the pancreas to release insulin. The amount of insulin depends on the amount of carbohydrates consumed.
Insulin is responsible for pulling glucose out of the bloodstream and giving it to the body cells where it can be used immediately as energy or put into ‘storage’ for later use.
If you consume too many, or the wrong type of carbohydrates, a sharp peak in blood sugar occurs which causes a sharp rise in insulin. The result is an energy burst also known as a ‘sugar rush’.
Insulin quickly removes the sugar from your bloodstream causing your blood sugar level to drop rapidly to levels lower than normal. This is known as a ‘crash’.
Avoiding the blood sugar level crash
Low blood sugar, or ‘crash’, causes fatigue, weakness, mood swings and decreased energy causing intense hunger and cravings. What happens is that you continue to eat because you’re feeling hungry, invariably consuming more sugar – which in turn causes an energy peak (rise is blood sugar) and energy crash (fall in blood sugar).
The vicious cycle repeats itself.
Do you suffer from after lunch sleepiness? Low blood sugar is the reason why. On the other hand High blood sugar and insulin can increase fat storage. A high level of insulin activates fat enzymes which move into bloodstream as fat storage cells or body fat.
Understanding how to control and balance your blood sugar is essential to controlling the cravings and fat loss. No more rollercoaster highs and lows or late afternoon drowsy spells, just solid, steady, energy all day long. You will be amazed at how different you energy levels feel in a very short amount of time.
How to stabilize your blood sugar level.
To lose body fat quickly and efficiently, your must maintain steady blood sugar levels. The best and most effective way of doing this is through frequent eating. Eating the right types of carbohydrates, with lean proteins and small amounts of “good” fats will stabilize your blood sugar and insulin levels preventing energy spikes and crashes.
By eating a small to moderately sized meal containing protein every 2 1/2 to 3 hours, you provide a steady and controlled release of insulin, which delivers the amino acids to “hungry” cells preventing cravings allowing you to break out of the vicious ‘sugar cycle’.
Insulin is needed to create energy. The problem is when your body has too much insulin caused by eating too many simple and refined carbohydrates. When your blood sugar and insulin levels are abnormally high, you’re not in a fat burning mode – you’re in a fat storing mode.
