Even if you don’t eat sugar, you are eating too much sugar.
I know it sounds crazy, but it is true.
When you are insulin resistant, sugar is sugar – it doesn’t matter if you are eating white table sugar off the spoon, a potato or a bag of chips.
Those starches are making you fat, frumpy and frustrated because insulin is pulling the rug out from under your hormones!
You see, once you have digested a carb, even if it is healthy, it turns into sugar in your body – even if you are a whole foodie, traditional foodie, raw foodist, vegetarian or a health nut by any other name – you are not immune.
You might be wondering….
But how could I be insulin resistant when I am not a diabetic?
Easy as 1, 2, 3 baby!…..
- Eating too much sugar (even if you don’t eat any)
- Lack of exercise
- Stress (having babies, trauma, marriage difficulties, divorce, accidents, overexercising etc.)
- Lacking love, connection and community in your life – deep sadness.
- Unfulfilled expectations, feeling despondent about the future, feeling trapped in a job, marriage etc.
- Eating too much natural sugar (coconut sugar, maple syrup, rhapadura, panella, honey).?
- Fruit – a- holic anyone?
- Not eating enough fat and protein – keeping yourself ‘full’ with pasta, bread, potatoes and yams.
- Having parents with diabetes
- Having a family background that is African American, Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, or Pacific Islander American
People who have diabetes weren’t perfectly healthy one day and then the next day have full blown diabetes – they make a slow decline towards it, starting with hypoglycemia.
It happened to me. A whole foodie health nut with 13 years behind me of being a vegetarian. It was all and well, until I started pushing 40. Here’s my story.
Not sure if you have hypoglycaemia? Do these apply?
- start to feel shaky when you can’t get to your next meal?
- feel ‘hangry’ – in other words you feel impatient, angry and snap at innocent bystanders, while you hunt for something you can eat now?
- feel like you are always hungry and have to eat constantly to keep your blood sugar stable?
- feel like a meal isn’t done unless it comes with bread or other starches?
- feel the need to top your meals off with something sweet before you feel satisfed?
- got a tummy (or mommy) roll just above your jeans (no matter what your weight, it just won’t go away)!?
