You see, each time we eat a large meal we create something called an insulin spike, which is the release of insulin into our bloodstream to help deal with all the newly created blood sugar. When you eat a high-carb meal, your insulin spikes and your blood sugar sinks, making you hungry. This is because blood sugar levels can be stabilized by smaller meals, whereas a single large meal results in a high insulin spike, and then for it to drop down in 12 hours. |
