BLOOD SUGAR | Delayed spikes and the impact of high fat meals


Listen Later

Ever had that f*ck it moment, gone ahead and eaten that cheat meal that you surely thought was going to spike your blood sugar, then been amazed that it was … fine?

Well, turns out that double quarter pounder might not have been as chill for your blood sugar as it seems.

You might have been told that protein and fat foods are “free” and don’t impact blood sugar, but this is not accurate. High fat meals actually have a pretty startling impact on blood sugar. Think, elevated numbers for up to 10 HOURS! 

More crazy stats waiting for you in this episode. Highly recommend you give it a listen.
