Unstable Blood Glucose
Having an unstable blood glucose level can stop your weight-loss efforts in their tracks! Here are 5 ways to help you keep your blood glucose stable. By doing so, insulin will stay low and your body can then access and use fat as a fuel source more effectively. Here are 5 ways to help
you avoid unstable blood sugar levels:1. Have small meals oftenIf you have huge fluctuations in your blood sugar throughout the day, you will find it difficult to lose weight simply because it has an impact on your whole physiology; insulin secretion, energy levels and food cravings to name a few. Having
small meals
regularly throughout the day provides your body with a constant supply of glucose (sugar). This will help to avoid an unstable blood sugar level, which will dramatically improve your body functioning.
2. Reduce your intake of refined carbohydratesRefined carbohydrates (bread, sugar, biscuits, cakes, fruit juices, sweets and lollies) tend to cause a substantial rise in your blood sugar level. This leads to insulin secretion, which then stores the sugar causing a subsequent drop in your blood sugar level. These fluctuations in blood sugar (unstable blood sugar) can be avoided by reducing your intake of refined carbohydrates and replacing them with more natural alternatives like, fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products. 3. Increase your fibre intakeFibre has the effect of slowing down the absorption rate of carbohydrates from the intestines into the blood stream. This means it provides a sustained release of sugar into the blood stream, keeping the blood sugar level stable. You can easily increase your fibre intake and therefore keep your blood sugar stable by increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods as well as by adding psyllium husks to your diet. 4. Have ‘complete’ meals‘Complete’ meals are meals that supply your body with a portion of carbohydrate, protein and fat. By ensuring that all 3 macronutrients are supplied in your meals, you slow down the passage of carbohydrates into the blood stream because protein and fat slow its absorption.A slow and sustained release of glucose into the blood stream means that you can avoid having an unstable blood glucose level.
There are many reasons why someone may have a fluctuating blood sugar level. Often it is because they have skipped meals, eaten too many carbs in a meal, eaten the wrong carbs in a meal or have had the incorrect proportions of macronutrients in a meal. By having GI Factor with your lunch and dinner meals, you will be able to ensure that your blood sugar level remains stable because the ingredients in GI Factor will improve the efficiency of insulin.
