All carbohydrates are not created equal. Different sources of carbohydrates have their own unique effects on insulin and blood sugar. Some carbohydrates, such as sugar-coated corn flakes, produce an immediate and dramatic rise in blood sugar, resulting in very high levels of insulin. It is important to keep insulin levels low enough not to stimulate excess appetite.

❗Remember: it's not just the quality and quantity of the carbohydrates you are ingesting, but what time you're eating your carbs!
Carb Clock ⏰ helps you remember when to eat which carbs.
The key is to remember that:

1️⃣ The cut of time is about 5:00 p.m.

2️⃣ Fruits & vegetables may be eaten before & after 5:00 p.m.

3️⃣ Carbs from grains should be eaten primarily before 5:00 p.m. and should generally not be included for dinner, except perhaps once per week

After the age of 40 is imperative that we realize that carbohydrates ingestion involves some real thought. We no longer need the intense carb fuelling we used to need when we played field hockey or spent half the afternoon jumping rope. We are metabolically different and we must embrace eating behavior more appropriate for our age and for our gender.

📚 Resource: You can refer to the Glycemic Index of foods and chose accordingly. You want to pick foods with glycemic index below 70, ideally below 55.

**if you have diabetes or other medical conditions please work with your doctor on establishing a healthy eating plan tailored for you.

CortiZone - period of time between 3:00 p.m. and midnight

CortiZone is the time when stress hormone levels plummet and mindless and focused stress-driven eating dominates, guaranteeing weight gain, especially in women 40 and over.

During the CortiZone hours, any person is a great risk of stress-induced eating. 🤯 As focus, concentration and mindfulness decline, fatigue sets in. Instead of recognizing the decline in energy as a natural daily event, most people fight it. Desperately seeking energy, they gulp coffee and eat foods high in sugar🍫 and other stimulants in the hope of resurrecting their energy.

In today's busy daily life we no longer live by our natural stress hormone biorhythm. Instead, just at the time of day when we should be allowing ourselves to begin to rest, we start up yet another day's worth of errands, projects, activities and challenges.
