Muscle, Metabolism, Protein
Understanding the relationship between glucose and muscle health is crucial for maintaining a strong metabolism. When blood sugar spikes, insulin is released, which can lead to muscle breakdown if protein intake is insufficient. Prioritizing protein-rich foods not only supports lean muscle mass but also prevents the body from using muscle for essential functions like hormone production. Choosing the right protein sources, such as grass-fed beef jerky over plant-based options, can significantly impact nutrient absorption and overall health.In this clip

With that being said, how do I figure out how many carbs I should eat, how much are enough, and how much are too many?
