Why it Matters!
Every meal is an opportunity to either spike insulin or keep it steady. When you eat refined carbs and sugar alone, insulin skyrockets. When you balance your plate with protein, fibre, and healthy fat, insulin stays moderate and manageable.
This isn't about restriction—it's about combination. The right combination keeps you satisfied, energized, and in fat-burning mode.
Build every meal with these 3 components
PROTEIN palm-sized
Keeps you satisfied, minimal insulin response, supports muscle
eggs, chicken, fish, Greek yogurt, tofu, beans, lean beef
FIBRE fills half your plate
Slows glucose absorption, feeds gut bacteria, creates steady energy
Examples
vegetables (especially non-starchy), berries, legumes
HEALTHY FAT thumb-sized
Slows digestion, increases satisfaction, supports hormones
avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, fatty fish, butter
Examples of Complete in 3 Meals
Breakfast
Scrambled eggs (protein) + avocado (fat) + spinach (fibre) + berries (carb)
Lunch
Grilled chicken (protein) + olive oil dressing (fat) + large salad (fibre) + chickpeas (carb)
Dinner
Salmon (protein + fat) + roasted broccoli (fibre) + sweet potato with butter (carb + fat)
Tips
Never eat carbs alone
(no naked toast, no solo fruit)
Add protein to everything (eggs to breakfast, nuts to snacks, chicken to salads)
Fill half your plate with vegetables at lunch and dinner
You can enjoy delicious food that satiates you and keeps your blood sugar steady!!
