Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I honestly have no idea whether my eating tilts more toward the foods that wind my body up or the ones that calm it down
• I’m low and want to try eating my way to feeling better, but I don’t want some rigid fad I’ll quit in a week
• I keep following all the "healthy food" lists and still feel wrecked after meals other people swear by
• I keep finishing meals uncomfortably stuffed because I just eat until the plate’s clean
• My blood sugar still reads "normal" so nobody’s worried, but I’ve got the creeping belly fat and the afternoon energy crashes and a family history of diabetes

10. Front-load calories to the first half of the day for better glycemic control
    The same meal eaten at 8 am produces a smaller glucose spike than at 8 pm — insulin sensitivity follows circadian rhythm.
