What's Your Lunch Doing For Your Weight?

Your lunch choice can significantly impact weight by influencing insulin and fat storage. Carbohydrates, especially refined or high-glycemic ones, play a central role.

Carbs, Insulin, and Fat Storage

Carbs break down into glucose, raising blood sugar and triggering insulin release. High-carb lunches (e.g., white bread sandwiches, pasta, or sugary drinks) cause rapid spikes. Insulin shuttles glucose into cells but, in excess, promotes fat storage and blocks fat breakdown.

This leads to:

• Excess glucose converted to fat.
• Increased hunger and cravings soon after.
• Over time, potential insulin resistance and easier weight gain, particularly belly fat.

Low-glycemic, balanced meals with protein and fibre produce steadier insulin responses, better satiety, and support fat burning.
