Question
insulin spikes make one feel hungry shortly after a meal. what can cause insulin spikes? foods that are high in saturated fats foods that are high in fiber foods that are high in salt sugary and other high - carbohydrate foods
Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Sugary and high - carbohydrate foods are quickly broken down into glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. The body responds to this rapid increase in blood glucose by releasing a large amount of insulin (insulin spike) to lower the blood sugar.
High - saturated - fat foods do not cause a rapid rise in blood glucose in the same way. Fiber can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates (to some extent), and high - salt foods have no direct relation to insulin spikes related to blood glucose regulation.
