I want to address this topic because there is a huge amount of conflicting information out there. Let me begin by saying that EVERYONE’S BODY IS DIFFERENT. Now, we should all follow specific guidelines, but we need to learn our bodies. Think about it, in the days of our ancestors our activity level was high, and nutrition was balanced. Now-a-days, we are nonfunctional, lazy, and eat unnatural foods. This has lead to disease (including metabolic disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, on and on…)…
With those factors being considered, what may work for a diabetic, may be completely different then what will work for you. Please approach this blog with caution; in that, YOU must take responsibility for your health. I have educated opinions, as do others, and some publish completely uneducated information. You must learn your body, know your lifestyle / activity level, and understand what nutrition program will best suit you. Your needs will certainly be different from my needs.
Here are some basic guidelines:
Breakfast: Within 1 hour of waking up EVERY SINGLE DAY. Do not skip this meal.
AM Snack: 2-3 hours later
Lunch: 2-3 hours later
PM Snack: 2-4 hours later
Dinner: 2-3 hours later
PM snack: FOR DIABETICS – a couple of hours after dinner to control fasting blood sugars by liver storage of glucose dumping into the blood stream.
