Re: Endurance running and sugar sensitivity

Hi,
I'm not sure what step you're on-that makes a difference. What
step are you on currently?

In general, I make sure to eat breakfast with a little extra protein and
plenty for lunch. I time my running to end near a meal. If not, I have a
protein/carb snack soon after. I can't eat before I run, so I make the
running work around the meals(that is, I prioritize meals before running).
If I can't because of a race, I still make sure to eat within a half hour of
finishing.

This program works beautifully with sports. You can have stability and
high performance as well as peace of mind and being free from addiction.
