Insulin resistance is one major root cause of hormonal imbalance.
Here are 5 Tips for Balancing Your Blood Sugar
-Eat healthy fats with every meal.
-Stay away from sugar, processed carbs, and high glycaemic index fruits. Limit your fruits to low-glycaemic ones (if you have insulin resistance)-berries, green apples, avocados, papaya, kiwi.
- Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables and include a bowl of beans/lentils or a lean protein from a clean source(if you are a non-vegetarian).
-Avoid snacking. The advice to eat five small meals throughout the day is simply bad advice. You do not want to trigger insulin through out the day!!
Research is now showing that snacking is not the best advice because every time
you eat, insulin is released, and insulin is a fat storage hormone!
So when you are snacking every two hours you will not lose weight because you are
inhibiting the growth hormone that promotes lean muscle mass.
-Fast Intermittently. Give your digestive system at least 12 hours between your last meal orsnack of the night and when you break your fast the next day.
