Will I gain weight if my blood sugar spikes on Friday, October 4th?

A blood sugar spike is a sudden increase in glucose in the bloodstream, more than our body's cells can handle.

 

You can often guess that a blood sugar spike is coming from the sudden feeling of drowsiness and lethargy that comes after a meal, but one or two blood sugar spikes do not directly lead to weight gain.

 

The problem is!!!

There is a sudden increase in appetite after a blood sugar spike.

When insulin is secreted rapidly and glucose processing is completed, blood sugar levels drop sharply.

 

People often say, "My blood sugar is dropping," and the brain interprets this as a sudden lack of energy and releases the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin, making you feel hungry.

 

It's important to distinguish between simple food intolerance and blood sugar spikes. If you frequently feel drowsy after eating and feel hungry within an hour or two, consider this as your body's overload in processing blood sugar and avoid snacking.

*Fat groups raise blood sugar slowly and do not cause blood sugar spikes,

It is high in calories and can cause weight gain.

• Refined carbohydrates, especially simple sugars, should be avoided as much as possible because they cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.
