Glycogen/Insulin Cycle

Easier way of remembering it

Insulin is a natural response as your body “builds” itself.

It shows up naturally, when you work out

When it is present, there are only two responses that occur when it

gets a hold of nutrients: make glycogen or make fat. Like a factory

of workers and materials….they make “it” and it goes somewhere.

Eating insulin stimulating food at night is a formula for obesity

Eating insulin stimulating food during the day is normal.

Eating anything that moves after working out results in no

consequences.

Easy do and don’ts

Eat fruit, as opposed to drinking fruit juice.

Get calories from real food, not from processed food.

Diet Sodas are no better for you than true soda- avoid both.

Pay attention to your labels- read the ingredients and not just the

nutrition label when deciding on the “sugar content” of a product.

As you eat more natural and real food- artificially sweetened foods

don’t have the same appeal. You can actually retrain your taste

buds to appreciate the natural sweetness of foods rather than

depending on additional sweeteners.

Sweeteners should be used in small amounts and manufactured

foods with added sweeteners should be limited (avoided).
