Published August 11, 2025

When you eat carbs, your blood sugar rises. Your pancreas releases insulin to bring it back down. If that rise is too sharp, the drop is too sharp — and the crash shows up as afternoon fatigue, cravings, and brain fog.
| Steady | Spike-prone |

| Eggs + avocado toast | Plain bagel |
| Greek yogurt + berries | Sugary cereal |
| Chicken + rice + veg | White pasta alone |
