Nutrition Tip: Following up my last post, this image demonstrates the different rates at which different foods will affect the rise in blood sugar. For better blood sugar control, try to balance out your meals by consuming some form of lean protein and healthy fat with each meal. This will help to not only blunt the spike in blood glucose that occurs when consuming simple carbohydrates, but boost satiety, reducing the chances of over-eating.
Where foods like chicken, fish and beef provide great sources of protein; you’ll find the ideal sources of fats from organic unpasteurized butter, nuts, eggs, fish oil and extra virgin coconut oil (just to name a few).
