Do you ever feel like you crash after meal times?
⠀
This is NOT how it’s supposed to be.
⠀
Your meals should be keeping you full + energized for at least 4 hours.
⠀
If they are not, something is off. And it’s usually too many carbs + not enough protein & fiber.
⠀
When you load up on just carbs, your body experiences an insulin spike and then crash (bc it has nothing to help bring it back down steadily).
⠀
This makes you feel hangry & tired. Which is no bueno at 10am when you’ve got s**t to do. It also disrupts fat burning for your body.
⠀
We can avoid this whole phenomenon by making sure our meals are balanced. Which means making sure you’re adding some protein, fiber and fat with your carbs.
⠀
Example:
⠀
Lonely carbs: 1 cup oatmeal with 1 banana

⠀
Balanced carbs: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 banana, 2 tbsp nut butter, 2 scoops collagen mixed in.
