Over eating for the Holidays
Not to worry; you have the opportunity to walk away from the temtations of the holidays! Make sure that you just eat what you want to eat in one hour and than stop. Start though with protein and keep carbs toward the end and make sure they are small. If you can, skip the carbs altogether. The reason is that you have insulin helping the breakdown of the food you’ve eatin and once you reintroduce food later say one hour after your main meal your body overloads on insulin to control blood sugar levels. This is the dangerous part of the holidays because your body becomes lethargic. If you have high blood pressure this can really be troublesome because the overload can place extra stress on your cardiovascular system. Have a great Christmas and and contact me with any questions!
