Carbohydrates are often blamed for blood sugar spikes, but the reality is that how you eat them matters just as much as what you eat. You don’t have to have diabetes for blood sugar spikes to affect you. In fact, most people are insulin resistant without even knowing it, and frequent spikes can contribute to weight gain, cravings, fatigue, and even long-term health problems like prediabetes and metabolic dysfunction.

If you're looking to reverse insulin resistance, managing your carb intake is essential. Drastically reducing carbs can be very effective, but it's understandably not a sustainable choice for everyone. The good news is that you don't have to make extreme changes to see improvements. Small, strategic adjustments can make a big difference in managing blood sugar and reversing insulin resistance.
