Easy Ways To Maintain Your Blood Glucose Levels
Stabalizing Your Blood Sugar
One of the best ways to help stabilize your Blood sugar is a
simple process called portion control.
I myself have tendency to eat to fast. The problem with eating
too fast is simple you eat too much. I will elaborate, we all
get an emotional high from eating, afterall who don't like to
eat.
By eating to fast we do not give ourselfves time to become full.
Slow Down
The next time you eat try this, chew your food and enjoy the
taste. Make a consious effort and try to slow down when eating.
We are most likely to overeat by eating to fast, because we
don't give our bodies time to get full.
Hold Off For That Second Helping
Another way to challenge yourself is this instead of reaching
for that second plate as soon as your first plate is gone, wait
just 10 minutes. I will bet that by waiting it will be much
easier to say no to that second helping.
Just think what 10 minutes could do for your overall health,
blood sugar and weight.
Portions Size
If you can get through just a few days or a week of practicing
the above mentioned tips you are on your way, now you try
adjusting your overall portions of food intake.
Instead of filling your plate up. Let's just go for smaller
portions don't be to drastic just reduce portion size a little
bit each day or so. There is no need to measure or weigh your
food just use your eyesite. It's that simple! The best way to
loose weight and keep your blood sugar down at the same time is
by eating smaller portions. Give yourself time this will work.
If you happen to overeat at one meal don't beat yourself up just
focus more the next time you eat.
Eat Frequently
I have analyzed my eating patterns and discovered that when I
wait to long to eat and find myself starving, this is the time
that I will most likely overeat. The best way to not do this is
simple eat more often, and eat smaller meals. If you plan on
eating every 3 hours or so you will see how just an apple and a
half sandwhich will keep you full to the next meal. Waiting 4-6
between meals you will eat more and your body will suffer for it.
It is much easier for your body breakdown smaller portions and
process the sugar that t0 stuff yourself.
Remember being diabetic your body cannot process extra sugar
like most people.
So smaller meals= less sugar in your blood.
