I found out that stress makes me want to eat
a lot of sugary foods (chocolate cake in particular) because the carbohydrates in it give me a very comforting feeling even though I knew that I will have to pay for the consequences afterwards.
Also, if we eat
a lot of sugary foods and foods high in processed carbohydrates, our blood sugar levels go up as a response to our insulin level.
Immediately after your workout is a fine time to consume simple carbs because they willquickly replenish depleted glycogen in muscle tissue, but if you're guzzling tons of sugary drinks or eating
a lot of sugary food, don't be surprised if your Insulin Sensitivity gets out of whack over time.
If food companies can make a compelling argument that we purchase
a lot of sugary foods, but we don't consume a lot of what we buy, regulations such as the ban on large - sized sodas in New York City might be a lot harder to pass.
