Months ago I shared a quiz to help people identify whether or not they are "carbohydrate sensitive". The vast majority of people are. Fortunately, you can absolutely, positively improve your carbohydrate tolerance.
\\nYou are probably carb sensitive if you\'re one of those people who feels like you gain weight at the mere sight of carbs. Or if you struggle with cravings & weight loss seems SO hard.
\\nMany people feel like being carb intolerant or highly carb sensitive is just their lot in life but it doesn\'t have to be.
\\nIn today\'s episode I will introduce you to 3 specific strategies you can begin to implement today to improve your carbohydrate tolerance.
\\nWhen you improve your carbohydrate tolerance, fat loss becomes easier, energy increases, cravings decrease, health improves and so much more!

\\nIn today\'s episode\\xa0I\'m taking a deep dive into food, exercise & lifestyle strategies that will improve your carbohydrate tolerance, improve your insulin sensitivity and make weight loss much easier.
\\nThe three strategies include:
\\nWhen it comes to achieving these goals of accelerating fat loss & increasing energy while decreasing cravings, we have to understand the role of muscle tissue in carb metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
\\nThere are 2 primary issues at play.
\\nWe need our muscle tissue to be more responsive to insulin. We can make this happen.
\\nThis\\xa0responsiveness is related, in part, to glucose transporters.\\xa0They live in our muscle tissue and are the doorways through which glucose enters the muscle tissue.\\xa0
\\nWhen we have more glucose transporters,\\xa0our muscle tissue is more responsive and efficient\\xa0to glucose.
\\nIn some people, there just aren\\u2019t that many doorways. They also might not be very responsive. The factors we need to consider are: how many are there & how responsive are they?
\\nWhen the glucose transporters (doorways) aren\\u2019t responsive or there aren\\u2019t that many of them, it\\u2019s like a pile-up outside the door.
\\nThat results in\\xa0blood sugar & insulin staying elevated for longer which impairs fat loss.
\\nImagine you have a people trying to get into a building. What are the factors in making sure that the people get in quickly?
\\nYour glucose transporters are the same way.
\\nDo you want a huge traffic jam of sugar, hanging out in the blood, keeping insulin elevated while waiting to get into the muscle tissue?\\xa0No! You want to clear it fast.
\\nYour ability to do so depends on:
\\nToday\'s episode explains how you can control #1 while improving #s 2 and 3!
