You have probably been to a zoo and have seen a sign “Do not feed the animals”. Think about that for a minute. What you are eating likely what your kid is eating is not suitable for animals. In other words, they put that sign up so you will not throw the junk that you are eating at the zoo because you make the animals sick. Stop and think about that for a minute.
If you are eating healthy food they would not have to worry about this but ideally, you would have this purple line down here is a flat curve. Your blood sugar should be pretty steady throughout the day.
For most people, it is normal and okay if there is a little bit of bump after you eat. Meaning that you eat some food, your blood sugar goes up but it comes right back down and your energies stays throughout the day.
You should be sleeping well. You should get up ready and raring to go. Your energies to save fairly steady throughout the day and you should nicely fall asleep. That is what we are looking for but if you are playing with this curve in your own body, your blood sugars are all over the place then you are going to find that you have got problems. It could be the beginning of most every problem out there.
We call it metabolic syndrome. It is part of the picture but I want your blood sugar to at least to do what that blue line does. Some people or the majority of people actually have more like the screen line where it arise and then it fall actually below where they started. That is called hypoglycemia.
What happens there is this person ate enough sugar that random blood sugar is really high. And then the pancreas have to put out a whole bunch of insulin to try to bring back that down but it usually overreacts. So I put out more insulin that I really needed. Ideally, when I am fasting I should not have any insulin. I should have used it up. It was though to strike that but I trust a lot of people I did the fasting insulin. It is going to tell me much more than just the fasting blood sugar level because it tells me I have got excess insulin around meaning that they put out too much.
If you put out too much insulin, you are going to drag your blood sugar lower than it should be and on hypoglycemia. I do not even have enough blood sugar to keep awake. My brain has almost shut down. I get crabby. I got cravings. You would probably described people to be that way. The person who has a coffee and dough nut and they are up and all happy in the morning and then through the mid morning they kind of die of and get crabby and then they grab another cup of coffee and it is just up and down all day.
You can only go on with that for so long and then the body is not going to keep up and when it is not keeping up, we call that diabetes because you reach a point where you cannot even maintain a blood sugar level.
Now, that is what that red line is. The blood sugar goes up it just does not seem to come down and as I cannot put out on a penicillin at a level of sensitivity to my insulin or for some other reason but I used the insulin sensitivity in type II diabetes but I just cannot bring my blood sugar level down. That is dangerous but you do not want get sugar that has a high glycemic index that shocks the body over and over again because there will a reach of point where you just cannot keep up anymore.
We want to maintain this blood sugar levels and that is what we are talking about the lower glycemic index tools. You want to preserve lean muscle mass, keep your metabolic rate curve up should be and gives you that steady stream of energy.
But if you eat food with glycemic index, you are going to be eating vegetables, foods, beans, whole grains. You are going to be eating foods that do not caused that blood sugar response and that is our first objective is to get used up doing that so much if you are doing it now.
Your hyglycemic foods are your processed foods, your cereals, your pastas, anything that is processed. It is in a free sensitive digested. You are body is designed to eat something and break it down, extract nutrients and get ready to waste but what most of us
