Episode notes
Start Meals With Veggie First
- Start meals with vegetables to harness fiber's protective effect in the upper intestine.
- Eat protein and fats next, then carbs, to reduce post-meal glucose spikes and steadier energy.
Meal Order Can Cut Spikes Dramatically
- Eating the same meal in a specific order can reduce glucose spikes by up to 75%.
- Fiber at the start coats the intestine and slows glucose absorption from later carbs.
Use Vinegar Before Carb Meals
- Drink a tablespoon of vinegar in a big glass of water before a carb-rich meal to slow starch breakdown.
- Alternatively use lemon or a vinegar dressing on a starter if you dislike straight vinegar.
