Balance the energy you consume with the energy you expend.

After eating carbs or sugar, movement helps your muscles use up some of that sugar for energy, keeping your blood sugar more stable and make it easier for your body to respond to insulin. Go for a walk, dance, or do some squats.

Balance and moderation truly is the key! Ultimately the goal is to feel free to make choices with awareness and discernment. Cultivating that awareness means understanding how foods affect your body and meet your needs.

Fruits and veggies: If you eat the skin, go for organic, as pesticides often stay on or just under the skin, even after washing.
