The Proof with Simon Hill

NOTE

Optimizing Eating Windows for Blood Glucose Control

To improve blood glucose control, consider adjusting eating windows by starting meals earlier in the day, ideally around 9 or 10 AM, after a two-hour wake-up period. For those waking up earlier, an 8 AM start may also be acceptable. This strategic timing aids in better glucose management. In the evening, it is advisable to have the last meal at least three hours prior to bedtime. As melatonin production begins 2-3 hours before sleep, insulin release can be inhibited, leading to elevated blood glucose levels if meals occur too close to bedtime. By allowing sufficient time between the last meal and sleep, the body can efficiently process glucose without significant spikes, thus optimizing overall blood glucose levels.
