alright folks, let’s talk about the good stuff for the first..

alright folks, let’s talk about the good stuff for the first fact of today: . . . . . . . . . . The good stuff being SUGAR, glucose, and insulin. I’ve worn a continuous glucose monitor for going on three months now so you don’t have to :D well, you do if you have insulin resistance and issues with your bloood sugar but I wore mine to get a better look at what’s going on with body. I’ve compiled a list of trends I’ve noticed that both help my levels and cause damage. I’ve also made up a little guide for you to follow when you’re looking at your own body that I can send to you if you send me $20 cuz it took me two hours to write out and organize :D The basics: ⟡ Eat your carbs in the morning. Your body can digest them better. Which means your body is prepared to handle the glucose spike. Not so much at night. I could eat the same amount of carbs in the am vs the pm (I’ve done this experiment on myself) and each time, my glucose goes CRAZY high in the pm but not the am.) timing matters. ⟡ Don’t eat when the sun is down, your body can’t process food while it’s trying to shut off. ⟡ The more processed the food, the higher your insulin will spike and the longer it will take to come back down. Aim for a whole foods diet. ⟡ Glucose spikes aren’t bad, we need insulin to function. But spikes that last HOURS is when you’re in trouble. A spike that hits 130 but then comes right back down is normal, which means you’re metabolically healthy. A spike that takes all night to come back down? Means something is up. If you ever buy a CGM, notice the area under the curve. The more space, the more this means you need to get your shit together holmes! And guess what? Insulin resistance, diabetes, all that jazz can be REVERSED IN SEVEN DAYS. seven. You can’t go back to your ways, obviously, but don’t listen to people when they tell you you’ll have this condition forever. It’s wrong. My glucose levels were insane all of July. My avg is now 75. I went hardcore carnivore most days for about a month and boom, I’m back to normal. It can be done. ⟡ Quantity matters. I can have a couple of berries and I’m good but if I let my desires trump my health and eat the entire box of blueberries, holy. shit. It’s madness. ⟡ If you pair fat with your carbs it ~can~ help stunt your glucose levels. So eating helllla eggs or cheese before eating some carbs can help it. I’ve noticed that ice cream (if it hasn’t been processed like crazy) won’t spike my BS as high because it’s pretty high in fat content already. I hope this helps <3 let me know if you have any questions!
