"Blood sugar very much determines where your energy is throughout the day. In order to have consistent energy, you want to have consistent blood sugar." Holtzer emphasizes that stable blood sugar is pivotal and should ideally resemble smooth rolling hills, rather than high spikes followed by low dips. To achieve this balance, focusing on macronutrients, particularly slow-digesting foods low on the Glycemic Index, is essential in managing energy levels.
"You want to ensure you have a proper balance of all three major macronutrients—protein, carbs, and fat—at every meal and snack." According to Holtzer, each individual's needs may vary, but the kind and ratio of nutrients consumed greatly impact energy sustainability throughout the day. A well-rounded approach helps maintain energy levels and combats mid-afternoon fatigue.
