Food Can Fix It - dr. Mehmet Oz

problem with quick-acting carbs? They disappear as fast as they show up. So the
temporary pop you feel is just that—and you crash as quickly as you soar. Then
you reach for more carbs to make you feel better, and the cycle starts over again.
Moreover, the flood of those fast carbs is exactly what leads to weight gain and
other health problems.
Food FIXES work the exact opposite way: They provide long-lasting energy
because they keep you satiated without immediate rises and falls. Energy comes
in the form of those healthy fats (why nuts are a good snack), satiating protein
(chicken or fish at lunch), and slow-digesting carbohydrates (why crunchy
carrots are a better snack than anything that’s been living for months in a
vending machine). They give you sustained energy levels and ultimately will
help you sleep better at night. That’s why a steady consumption of FIXES foods
—in the morning, during the day, and at night—is the main way to keep energy
levels consistent throughout the day.
