Tips to Stabilize Blood Sugar
1. Do not skip breakfast.
2. Eat a high quality protein based breakfast.
3. Eat every 2-3 hours.
4. Snack on protein
5. Avoid straight fruit juice-dilute or better yet-dilute & blend on high with water and a handful of spinach/kale or chard plus fresh spearmint.
6. Have a handful of nuts when you have fruit to slow down the insulin surge.
7. Avoid adrenal stimulants (over-training/inadequate sleep/concentrated sugars/artificial sweeteners/partially hydrogenated fats/nicotine/alcohol/allergic foods/caffeine).
8. As Michael Pollan says “In Defense of Food” EAT FOOD, NOT TOO MUCH, MOSTLY PLANTS with some lean meat and quality grains. (Read this book to understand how we agonize over nutrition as we’ve strayed away from basic unadulterated food.)
9. Fast overnight-but for no longer than 14 hours
