Symptoms of blood sugar disregulation is information that your body is needing something to change. What are the symptoms of blood sugar disregulation? There are many, but common ones that you many be familiar with are:
Sugar or salt cravings
Feeling an energy slump after a meal or an energy slump late morning and late afternoon
Jittery or hangry if a meal is delayed
Always needing a snack quickly available
Why are you feeling this way and what can you do to fix it?
There can be several reasons for feeling these symptoms, but often it’s simply that you are not getting the right balance of macronutrients or not enough calories in your meals, especially during the meal that breaks your fast.
The easiest option is to start with a practice of having a nutrient packed breakfast every morning that contains a good balance of all of the macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins and fats. One caveat, is that quality counts! A chicken breakfast sandwich may be more balanced than a pastry, but it’s not going to have the same effect as an omelette with fruit made at home with real butter or coconut oil.
So, what is a good balance?
40% Carbs - 30% Protein - 30% Fat
