WE ARE A NATION of carb lovers: bagels, bread, biscuits, pastry, pasties and pies. While the thought of cutting out carbs might send chills down your spine, it’s really more about curbing them and becoming conscious of your intake of carbs, not avoiding them altogether! It’s about becoming aware of how specific foods impact blood sugar and the long-term consequences of continuously raising your insulin.
We all have varying “glucose tolerance”, which affects how well we can cope with an influx of sugar into our blood and howthan men do! It’s muscle that helps use up the sugar in your blood – and insulin that’s responsible for unlocking the cells that let the sugar get into the muscles in the first place.
