High Fiber is key to regulate blood sugar without eliminating carbohydrates
Remember the time when the skinny model diet suggested juicing everything? Instructions were to drink vegetable and fruit juices all day and to forget the rest? Well, maybe you would have noticed a slight weight loss win, only to pack on weird water weight over time, experience serious energy highs and lows, and to feel like literally that your body is wasting away without the fat loss? Sound familiar? This is all due to the increase of insulin in the blood triggered by the no fibre simple sugar carbohydrate in juices which leads to even moe hunger hence the ultimate weight gain.
It is so easy to include Raw Fruit & Vegetables into your diet
I find these days I just can’t chew enough food to acquire the necessary vitamins and minerals through food. Although we do need to be supplementing as today’s food just isn’t nutrient-dense, but I have found a solution that will help eliminate unnecessary meals full of rice and other high carb starches.
Canada food guide recommends filling 1/2 of plate with veggies & fruit.
The Canadian food recommends that your plate be filled as follows:
https://food-guide.canada.ca/en/food-guide-snapshot/
- 1/2 veggies & fruit – the more colourful the better.
- 1/4 whole grains like oatmeal, whole grain pasta, brown rice.
- 1/4 protein like lean meat, fish, dairy, beans, nuts, poultry, tofu, eggs, seeds, lentils.
But I find that I am lacking in the vegetable and fruit section especially during my full mealtimes when I’m not eating an actual salad as a full meal.
I have found a solution to avoid less chewing which is better for after workouts when you don’t feel like eating, and also in the morning. This recipe is packed with all the fiber necessary to stop your blood sugar spikes which promotes the need for a great deal of insulin leading to a blood sugar crash, and the satisfying fruit flavor with no added sugar. You will also notice the fiber eliminates unnecessary water weight gain.
