I do squats after eating carbs or calf raises to engage the fast twitch muscle fibres when I’m in lazy mode

Mmmm, the concern for me is stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system right after eating wont be good for digestion, and atop that taking the much needed blood supply from your digestion to the muscles. Also you'll be spiking blood sugar doing these kind of exercises... So while i do see the possible positives, there seems to be quite a lot of negatives too. Then on the flip side walking after meals while maybe not taking in that glucose as rapidly, your stimulating the correct nervous system, getting some nice movement and gravity assistance for digestion while not spiking blood sugar or raising cortisol. Thoughts?

Honestly, from a hunter-gatherer perspective this also kind of makes sense. At least, before cooking became a thing. Humans were likely starved, in many cases, when they would get to pick over the scraps of a large cat's kill (like the scavengers we were suspected of being before we understood how to kill with tools)... and this likely meant eating immediately... in a squatting position... and then walking away or running away if any predators were around as we were eating the raw leftovers that the killer left behind for us. And, with gathering berries and plants and roots... it goes without saying that you are going to "eat while you work", so to speak 😅

Here’s a short summary: --- **🚀 Post-Meal Muscle Trick** Instead of a gentle walk, do **2–3 sets of intense bodyweight moves** (squats, push-ups, lunges to near failure) right after eating. This forces glucose into muscles *without insulin*—like a “high-powered vacuum” 🧹💪 **💧 Mineral Water Hack** Sip **high-calcium mineral water** (not supplements) before or during the day. Calcium acts as a “spark plug” 🔌 for crisp insulin release, helping your pancreas work smarter, not harder. **⏱ Best Time for Carbs** During **long or intense workouts** (>1 hr), consume fast-acting carbs (e.g., cyclic dextrin or watermelon juice). Working muscles suck up glucose instantly 🚫🧠➡💪—bypassing fat storage and retraining your cells to use carbs efficiently. **📝 Recap** - After meals → intense bodyweight moves - Throughout day → calcium-rich mineral water / yogurt / kefir - During hard workouts → carb sipping

You can also walk up and down steps for 3-5 minutes.
