After you consumed all those simple carbohydrates, they rushed into your blood stream. Your pancreas overreacted and sent too much insulin into your blood to get the sugar to your cells. At the same time, you were placing a large demand for carbohydrates on your muscles, draining stored and circulating blood sugar even more. So, you had a blood sugar drop that gave you a shaky, weak feeling. As a pre-exercise morning meal, avoid simple sugars.
Carbohydrates are still fine, but eat whole grains and fruit that are more slowly absorbed.
Add small amounts of protein and fat. Have a scrambled egg or egg whites with toast, or put peanut butter on the toast. The protein and fat will slow the absorption of carbohydrates into the blood stream and reduce the high insulin rush. Ask nutrition expert Sharon Howard a question.
