Hi Everyone,

I am going to discuss 2 easy steps to control blood sugar levels:


1. Choose low to moderate glycemic index carbohydrates. The natural simple carbohydrates are "healthy," but ALL simple carbohydrates should be used in moderation during fat loss programs.


When we talk about simple carbohydrates, we're often referring to refined sugar and white flour products as these are the bad carbohydrates. But not all simple carbohydrates are bad. Some simple carbohydrates occur in nature. These natural sugars include fructose (in fruit) and lactose (in dairy products).


Natural sugars are fine when eaten in moderation.


2. Combine these carbohydrates with a protein or essential oil/fat. You can manage your blood sugar and insulin levels by choosing fewer simple carbohydrates, more complex carbohydrates, eating fiber and having your carbohydrates with lean proteins approximately every three hours.


The combination and balance of a protein and carbohydrate trigger the release of another potent hormone, glucagon, which is like insulin. It maintains a healthy blood sugar balance.
