I've been thinking for a few weeks to change my diet to avoid having high sugar spikes and keep my energy high throughout the whole day.
When I workout I use to eat 5 times a day and a snack with a high glycemic index (like a handful of raisins) during workout or I'm unable to keep up. That's probably because all the energy from my last meal which is usually 3 hours before my workout is gone.
I'm the kind of person who loses weight on a normal diet that someone else would gain weight and my body fat is around 13-14%. My problem, as I said, is keeping the same levels of energy during the day.
I'll probably start by eating 2 times a day. High protein meals with veggies and some whole grains with a low glycemic index to see how it goes.
- fzil 6y agoI have the same problem as you do, not being able to keep same energy levels throughout the day. I realized my diet was too carb heavy (white rice, 2x a day usually) and I was able to somewhat counter that by high protein snacks (handful of almonds) between meals. I got the idea from a book called "Why isn't my brain working?" by Dr. Datis Kharrazian. There is a chapter in the book detailing some dietary changes that a person should make depending on their blood sugar levels and other factors. I suggest you take a look at this book for some ideas on approaching this problem via diet.
