Picked up The Glucose Revolution.
Worth it.
It fits perfectly with Steve Zim’s SuperHero Nutrition.
SuperHero is all about ACV, portion sizes, and eating in this order: veggies, protein, then carbs.
The Glucose Revolution dives into the science behind why food order matters more than SuperHero did.
The author, Jessie Inchauspé, is a French biochemist.
She explains how to balance glucose levels. She also talks about how even people who think they are healthy can benefit from doing so. AKA it’s not just for people with pre-diabetes, or type 2 diabetes.
She does break down the science clearly. What she’s great at is making it interesting and filled with examples of people succeeding.
Jessie shares everything you need to do this.
Sure, she has books and courses.
But she’s upfront about wanting to help people. In an interview, she mentioned many of her followers can’t afford her $20 book.
She doesn’t gatekeep knowledge. Her YouTube and Instagram teach you how to balance blood sugar. She gives away what you need to know. It’s not a teaser.
I printed her free 10 core glucose hacks and stuck them on my fridge.
I’ve been using ACV as Steve suggests in SuperHero Nutrition. Jessie’s book explained more about ACV and carb digestion. I’m curious what three months of ACV will do for me.
I also started having greens (fiber) before meals. It’s been a few days, but I feel the difference. A savory breakfast helps too.
I had no idea oatmeal, something I thought was healthy, spikes insulin.
Oats are starch. Starch spikes insulin.
Doesn’t mean oatmeal is bad.
It means there are ways to eat it to flatten the spike.
I’ve been adding protein to my oatmeal. Didn’t realize I was already lowering the spike.
When I ate only oatmeal, my mornings started with a big glucose and insulin spike. Two hours later, I’d feel lethargic. That’s why I kept switching back to eggs.
Now I know why.
Jessie explains how to flatten glucose spikes. She doesn’t tell you what to eat. She lays out the science and lets you decide.
She loves her chocolate cake. Shows you the glucose spike if she doesn’t flatten it. Then shows what happens when she does. Charts and all.
It’s impressive.
And easy.
This toolset? Invaluable.
