The tip is so simple – but really effective.

And you don’t really have to change your diet to use it – but just on its own it will make a difference. It’s this:

Only eat carbs with protein.

That’s it. Pretty easy right?

Simply by adding protein to a snack – or any meal – slows down the release of carbohydrates.

And anything that slows down the realease of those sugars, lowers the meal’s GL.

So by eating one or two nuts with an apple, lowers its GL.

Or on the other end of the scale, if you can’t live without your mid morning cheese toastie snack, change it to a cheese and ham toastie.

Because protein is made of amino acids, it makes the digestive environment more acidic, which slows down the digestion of carbs – they need a more alkaline environment. What’s more because the process is slowed down, you feel full longer.

Just make sure whenever you eat, whatever you eat, make sure there’s some protein knocking about too.

It’s so simple, but just think if you did this all the time, day in, day out? Sounds a pretty good pay back to me.

I can’t thing of an easier way to lower your insulin levels and help flatten out those spikes.
