Insulin and Metabolism

Eat healthy and eat often to control blood sugar levels.

When you wait long periods between meals, you have a spike of a hormone known as insulin. This hormone controls how fast sugar enters your bloodstream after eating. Big surges in insulin occur when you wait too long between meals which may increase stress on your body chemistry.

I always recommend ingesting protein and a healthy carb source every 2.5-3 hours to keep insulin levels stable and keep the metaphorical furnace of metabolism stoked and efficient!
