 When
a high level of insulin is released after a meal, it
promotes fat gain because insulin blocks the release of
stored fat, promotes fat storage and causes blood
glucose to plummet. When fats are shuttled away and
blood sugar drops, hunger signals are generated and a
person tends to overeat, consuming more food and eating
more frequently. People who experience a moderate
release of insulin following a meal tend to avoid the
metabolic mismatch and generally experience greater
success in managing their weight. Controlling the
glycemic load of a meal is one way to control the
insulin release after a meal.

Get Back Up
 Bless
the dark areas in your life and thank God for the strength that you now have within you to face the next hardship. Without darkness we cannot recognize the light. Walk in the light and bless the darkness. This way the new light will touch everything past and everything yet to come…
Burdens can weigh you down if you let them engulf you - so Don't.
Always remember you are still here.
Get Back Up.
