🍓🍌 FRUIT + SUGAR… let’s talk about it 👀✨
I used to think I was doing everything “right”…
🍌 Banana every morning
🍇 Grapes and lots of fruit as my go-to snack
Healthy, right? 🤔
But for me, this actually led to blood sugar spikes, crashes, and brain fog 😵💫⚡
Seeing a breakdown of sugar content in fruit really opened my eyes 👁️💡
Not all fruit is created equal—some can spike blood sugar much faster than others 📈
Through the food plan I’m following, I’ve learned a new way to approach fruit:
👉 Focus on lower glycemic options first
🍓 Berries
🍒 Cherries
🍎 Apples
👉 They also recommend eating fruit earlier in the day (before 1 PM) so your body has time to burn it off 🔥⏰
Then slowly add in higher sugar fruits later 🍍🍌
➡️ Especially after you’ve spent a few months balancing blood sugar and reducing insulin resistance
One of the biggest game changers for me 👇
✨ Pairing fruit with protein or healthy fats
🥜 Nuts or nut butter
🥙 Hummus
🍳 With a meal instead of alone
This helps:
✔️ Balance blood sugar
✔️ Reduce cravings
✔️ Improve focus (bye brain fog 👋🧠)
✔️ Keep me full longer
⚠️ Quick tip:
Bananas (especially first thing in the morning) can spike blood sugar—something to be mindful of, especially for women navigating hormone balance ⚖️
It’s not about fear—it’s about awareness 💛
