Q

blood sugar spike

A

A spike in a person’s blood sugar after eating, known as post-meal hyperglycemia, is not uncommon and typically not dangerous. Unless directed by their doctor, people with diabetes don’t have to check their blood sugar after every meal.

Benefits of eating after every 3-4hours:

When you don’t eat for a while your blood sugar really drops. (This is also extremely effective if you have a large appetite and feel hungry often.)
And then when you eat after six, seven hours your blood sugar spikes. When your blood sugar spikes that causes there to be excess insulin in your blood. When there is excess insulin in your blood your body stores fat more easily.
This is also why it’s very important to eat breakfast and to make it a priority. Because by the time you wake up, your blood sugar is low. If you wait until lunch time it’s even lower!

By eating this way, you’ll effortlessly speed up your metabolism. (Also try drinking more water to speed up your metabolism) Think of this way. If you have a campfire burning and you don’t add wood to the fire, eventually the campfire will burn out! But if you add a little wood every few hours, the campfire will continue to burn. And burn hot!!!
