ZERO Insulin Spikes with These Foods

Let’s keep insulin low, {NAME}. Insulin is NOT the enemy. But it still should be managed. We do know one thing based upon the research… Insulin being elevated does indeed stand in the way of fat loss (it inhibits lipolysis). But we cannot always be in fat-loss mode, that is also very unhealthy, even if we have wait to lose. It’s a balance of keeping insulin low, but along with strategic spikes (usually after workouts, or maybe a little before sleep to help you sleep better). Here’s a list of foods that BARELY spike insulin so that you can have snacks that inhibit fat-loss a little bit less. 1) Ghee: I know that it sounds silly to snack on ghee, and I don’t expect you to just gobble it down by the spoonful, but it is one of the few foods that has virtually no insulin spike. Even butter has milk solids that can cause a bit of a spike, whereas ghee, it’s all been removed, so you’re scott free. Now, if you get cravings, and you’re in control, it would be a good idea to have a tablespoon of ghee. I think you’ll notice that it quickly controls cravings but it’s also a snack that you can have with very little impact on insulin, so even though there are calories, you will bounce out of "snack mode" very quickly. 2) The only ZERO Carb Nut that exists - It’s called Sacha Inchi (it’s technically a seed). It has zero grams of net carbs because there are 5 grams of fiber. But what makes it unique is that some of the research that investigated sacha inchi oil over other oils suggests that sacha inchi seeds contain certain fats that improve insulin levels. Interestingly enough, Sacha Inchi is a very high protein nut, so in theory, protein would spike insulin, but because of the fiber content and fat profile, there is pretty much no spike. There’s really only one company that makes Sacha Inchi accessible, They’re called Brass Roots. They have some really amazing flavors. [Sea Salt and Vinegar]( [Sweet Heat (sweetened with monk fruit)]( [Truffle Parmesan]( [Lightly Sea Salted]( [Honey Mustard (my favorite)]( [This link gets you a sitewide discount PLUS 30% Off a Variety Pack]( PRESALE which should ship in a week or two.

Sacha Inchi seeds are one of the only snacks that you could have between meals that won’t spike insulin, but they’re rare in that they also give you a hefty dose of amino acids and omega 3s. Really a very unique nutrient profile without any guilt.

Some cool [research]( shows that just half an avocado per day can have a massive impact on cardiovascular health and on postprandial glucose. The insulin spike is negligible and one of the lowest you will encounter, so having half of an avocado instead of snacking on something else will really keep insulin low. In fact, I like to have ½ avocado along with a handful of sacha inchi. The crunchy mixed with soft makes it feel like I’m having chips and guac but with more substance (and nutrients, lol). 4) This one is weird…. Cod: Not something you would snack on, for sure. But in the world of protein, you have to remember that protein will spike insulin. So if you’re trying to really reduce insulin spikes, you may want to try to eat more Cod fish. There is a reason why so many bodybuilders eat lots of cod the weeks leading up to their competitions. The lesser insulin spike allows for a bit more fat loss to kick in, especially when you’re trying to get through stubborn fat. The wild thing is that the insulin spike with cod was even lower than casein! Casein protein is notorious for being the lowest insulin spike, but cod blew it out of the water! I know it’s not the most appetizing all the time, but it’s worth it if you’ve got some stubborn fat to burn. 5) Cinnamon added to anything… A study from The European Journal of Applied Physiology investigated the effect of daily cinnamon ingestion on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Oral glucose tolerance tests (measures body’s response to glucose) were performed on days 0,1,14,16,18 and 20. They found that cinnamon supplementation reduced the glucose response to OGTT on day 1 by approx. 13.1% and on day 14 by approx. 5.5% compared to placebo. A similar effect was seen on day 14 regarding insulin responses with a reduction of approx. 27.1% compared to placebo. However, they found that as soon as cinnamon was removed from the diet, these effects were lost. This means, in English, that cinnamon added to tea, fruit, anything… will lower the insulin response! The important thing to remember here is NOT TO DEMONIZE INSULIN. It is critical for growth and repair, but in doing so, it is an incumbrance to fat loss. So take it for what it is worth, but also be aware of the steps you can take to keep insulin levels low when possible. See you tomorrow!
