If you feel that you will have to eat something every 2 -3 hours, then you probably have insulin resistance along with episodes of hypoglycemia because you taught your body to rely on sugars\/ carbohydrates for energy.<\/span><\/p><p>Relying on sugar, you increase your insulin levels. Now you can&#8217;t take out energy from storage sites as long as insulin is there. So, your body now doesn&#8217;t have backup for energy, that&#8217;s why you will have to rely on food especially on carbs for energy. Now you depend on it. Once you have this habit, every time your body is going to protest whenever you don&#8217;t get food. What you need to do is to increase <b>healthy fats<\/b> and <b>proteins <\/b>and move away from <b>carbs <\/b>gradually, to get more stability in blood sugar levels. As a healthy person, you should be able to go <b>6-8 hours<\/b> without food and that too without fainting or irritability or anything like that.<\/p><h5>Tired\/feeling sleepy after eating is normal?????<\/h5><p>This is called <b>Post prandial Somnolence<\/b> or <b>Food coma <\/b>d<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-4); color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">ue to <\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-4); color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\"><b>Blood sugar+ high insulin.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-faca74e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"faca74e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;rollIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ef06071\" data-id=\"ef06071\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deb67df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"deb67df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Whether we use <b>carbs <\/b>or <b>fats <\/b>as source of energy, it depends upon the hormone <b>Insulin<\/b>.

Now we have <b>2 <\/b>fuels, when insulin is elevated, body makes the decision. It starts using more of its <b>carbohydrate <\/b>resources, body goes into sugar burning mode. It starts burning <b>blood sugar<\/b>. In contrast when the insulin levels are low, it starts burning <b>fat resources,&nbsp;<\/b>body goes into fat burning mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the topic I focus on the most. The reason I care about Insulin Resistance, and the reason we must care about IR is that <b>Insulin <\/b>is the cause for making diseases worse. You should be fearing insulin resistance. So high insulin means shift to carbohydrates burning and less insulin means shift to fat burning. If insulin stay too high &amp; for too long, it leads to insulin resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Solution in this case is we should reduce <b>carbs <\/b>in the diet and then allow the insulin to come down and that means we can start burning fat as fuel.<br>It&#8217;s so simple. If you fear <b>chronic disease<\/b>, you should be fearing <b>insulin resistance<\/b>. There is no regard or respect for insulin and we push the insulin even higher with wrong food choices. Risk for dying from heart disease triples and risk for cancer mortality doubles.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-40936d9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"40936d9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;rollIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7003ee3\" data-id=\"7003ee3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24e2cac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24e2cac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Let&#8217;s know in simple words, what the insulin resistance is and why it&#8217;s such a problem for our body?<\/h5><p><b>Insulin <\/b>is a hormone secreted by <b>beta cells<\/b> of <b>pancreas<\/b>. Insulin is very important for <b>metabolism. <\/b>It tells your body what to do with carbohydrates we eat. When we eat <b>carbohydrates<\/b>, it is broken down into your digestive system into <b>sugar<\/b>(glucose). When <b>pancreas <\/b>sees this <b>glucose <\/b>in the blood, it secretes <b>insulin<\/b>, and the very 1st role of insulin is to move that glucose from the blood into <b>cells <\/b>(muscle cells&#8230;fat cells). Job of insulin is to open up the doors of these cells and glucose enters in. What happens now is:-<br \/><b>Glucose <\/b>in the blood decreases that is much more desirable state of our body. Body wants to get rid of extra sugar. It tells the <b>liver <\/b>to store <b>excess sugar <\/b>in form of <b>glycogen<\/b>.<\/p><p>Now in <b>insulin<\/b> <b>resistance<\/b>, these cells don&#8217;t respond to insulin like they supposed to do. Now the door does not open and what happens is<\/p><p>1. Now we have <b>excess glucose <\/b>in the blood (IMPAIRED GLUCOSE LEVELS OR PREDIABETES)<\/p><p>2. Now Insulin is there and it&#8217;s very hard for body to burn fat and your cells don&#8217;t have access to high glucose in the blood. You feel low, you feel tired, you feel hungry, and you feel sleepy. You crave <b>carbohydrates <\/b>and <b>weight gain<\/b> is much easier.<\/p><p>Now <b>pancreas <\/b>makes more <b>insulin <\/b>to match up <b>high glucose<\/b> in the blood. A person with <b>Insulin resistance<\/b> secretes <b>10-15<\/b> times more <b>insulin <\/b>to keep glucose levels in control and now there is <b>hyperinsulinemia<\/b>.<\/p><p>Very important topic if you are struggling with <b>weight <\/b>issues. You can&#8217;t lose weight unless you keep your insulin levels low all day. Exercise plays only minor role, if you eat frequently, you take cabs (chapati, rice, biscuits, table sugar, jam, sauces, ready-made juices, cold drinks, bread etc). You keep your insulin up. It shuts down fat burning, in fact with insulin you store fat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insulin Resistance If you fear Chronic Diseases, you should be fearing Insulin Resistance These 8 chronic diseases account for 75% of our health care costs.1.
