Episode notes
Eating Food in the Right Order
- Eat your veggies first, then proteins and fats, and lastly, starches and sugars.
- This order can reduce glucose spikes by up to 75% without changing what or how much you eat.
Why Bread First is Bad and Veggies First are Good
- Bread, a starch, eaten first turns into glucose and spikes blood sugar quickly as nothing stops it from your stomach to your bloodstream.
- Fiber in veggies creates a protective mesh in your intestines, slowing glucose absorption from later foods, reducing spikes.
Veggie Starter
- Make veggies about 30% of your meal, whether raw or cooked.
- Having a veggie starter significantly impacts glucose levels and helps manage afternoon cravings or unsteady energy.
