Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

So I want to talk about grazing and snacking, the two deadly health destroyers.

What's the difference between grazing and snacking?

They're very similar. With snacking, you have maybe a certain time

you're going to snack, like between lunch and dinner.

Or you're going to snack before you go to bed.

So with grazing, you can pretty much, there's no limit on how much,

what you eat or when you eat. You just constantly eating.

And you can see this at like some social activity where they have food around the house.

And maybe you're going to the nuts and you're eating this and it's people are bringing food.

And you just keep grazing and grazing and grazing.

If anyone ever gives you the advice that you should snack to prevent overeating,

realize that is the worst advice you can ever give anyone.

Let's just talk about some of the trouble that someone can get into when they start grazing and snacking.

So they start eating, the blood sugars go up regardless of what they eat.

The insulin then goes up after that to push the blood sugar down.

Now they end up with lower blood sugar. Now they're hungry.

So we have to realize is that eating causes hunger about one and a half hours later,

especially if you're consuming carbohydrates.

Then take a snack, blood sugars go up, insulin goes up to push the blood sugars down.
