Perfect is the enemy of good.
Good enough? It’s amazingly good enough.
Sometimes, just remembering that keeps me on track.
Take eating food in order to prevent glucose spikes. It’s easy. Except for one-dish meals. Picking a dish apart to eat it in order? Crazy talk.
For those meals, I adapt.
- ACV before the meal.
- ‘Greens’ for fiber.
- Then a portion of the combined dish.
It works.
Most of the time, I follow the suggested order from The Glucose Revolution:
- ACV
- Fiber (greens, carrots, celery, or salad)
- Veggies
- Protein
- Carbs (like sweet potato—I rarely have this)
- Dessert (berries or, on cheat days, apple crisps)
Breakfasts
My Usual
- ACV
- Fiber (psyllium husk drink)
- Eggs and coffee
- Ezekiel toast (buttered with a sprinkle of cinnamon)
This bread is flourless and dense. Definitely an acquired taste. Coming from keto and carnivore, it feels like an indulgence. Real toast—I’m loving it.
Sometimes
- ACV
- Bone broth (Sports Now, 28g protein. It mixes best with boiling water.)
- Oatmeal (flaxseed, almond milk, cinnamon, and berries if I’ve got them)
- Coffee
It’s a loose template. Most meals fit. Not all. And that’s fine.
What I’ve Noticed
After a week, I feel a difference. Not dramatic, but real.
Even cheat meals (like pizza last week) have their moments. I started with ACV and a psyllium husk drink then the pizza. The difference? Noticeable. Who knew?
It’s a neat tip. Glad I learned it.
