1. Exercise increases insulin sensitivity big time.

2. Timing of carbs can be beneficial. Our body’s are far better geared for dealing with carbs earlier in the day. Nearer the evening eating large quantities of carbs are more likely to find their way into fat cells. Timing some of your daily carbs after exercise is a good idea.

3. Combining a small amount of fat with carbs will slow digestion reduce the insulin response. The same with fibrous foods.

4. Adding protein to a carb meal makes the muscles more responsive to the effects of insulin and reduces fat cells responsiveness. This is GOOD.
