When I tell you it is possibleee!!!! My A1C throughout the last 9 months has stayed under a 5.5( 5.1, 5.5, 5.3) and that is WITH eating bagels, pizza, paninis, ice cream… all traditionally “bad blood sugar foods”.

If you would have told me years ago that it was possible to eat these things and not go above 200, never mind not go above 140, I would have never believed it🤯 My experience with growing up was these foods are for 1x a week/special occasions and to expect massive spikes as a result.

We tend to blame the foods for our roller coaster numbers when really we’re just not given the right support and guidance to learn our body’s patterns, understand how to adapt rates and ratios to different foods/time of day, and expand our toolset and knowledge set to be in more of a proactive state vs reactive state with our management.

Helping coaching members do this for themselves in @riselyhealth programs is the BIGGEST joy for our team. If you’re trying to figure out if this is possible for you, I promise it 1000% is and we are here to help if you need it🫶🏻 Apply to coaching via link in my bio 

PS. If I have a challenging food like this, I only do 1 a day. Ex. I had this for breakfast so I’ll have something easier to bolus for/more nutrient dense for lunch and dinner!
