Quick takeaways

  • Consuming fiber-rich foods like salads can help buffer the sugar spike and replenishing nutrients through electrolytes, vitamins, and trace minerals can counteract the deficiencies caused by sugar consumption.
  • Choosing whole eggs or fatty foods as a part of your meal can help buffer the insulin response to protein, and combining fiber, vinegar, and fat in meals can compound the neutralizing effects against sugar and carbohydrates.

Deep dives

Neutralizing the effects of sugar

To counteract the damaging effects of sugar, consuming fiber-rich foods like salads can help buffer the sugar spike. Fiber has no effect on insulin, unlike other carbohydrates. Consuming fiber immediately after consuming sugar can slow down the spike. Additionally, sugar depletes nutrients like potassium, B1, zinc, and magnesium, so replenishing these through electrolytes, vitamins, and trace minerals can counteract the deficiencies.
