How To Hack Your Blood Sugar For Energy, Weight Loss, Hormone Balance, Glowing Skin & More with the Glucose Goddess

Food Combining

Food combining plays a crucial role in stabilizing glucose levels, as explained by Jessie Inchauspe. She emphasizes the importance of eating vegetables first, followed by proteins and fats, and then starches and sugars. This order helps reduce glucose spikes by slowing down digestion and absorption 1. Jessie shares that adding a green starter, like a salad or roasted vegetables, can further aid in managing glucose levels 2.

Just the fact that you're adding wilted greens and I assume maybe, I don't know, other sources of protein and fat to your starches, that's already fantastic.

She notes that many cultures naturally incorporate these practices, which align with scientific findings on glucose management 3.

   

Vinegar Use

Vinegar is highlighted as a powerful tool for managing glucose spikes. Jessie Inchauspe explains that vinegar increases glucose uptake by muscles and enhances fat burning in mitochondria, leading to smaller glucose spikes and more stable energy levels 4. She suggests drinking a vinegar solution before meals, especially those high in starch or sugar, to experience these benefits 5.

By just adding one tablespoon of vinegar two to three times a day into your meals, people lost more weight. Their health markers got better.

Jessie assures that vinegar is safe for regular consumption, provided it is diluted in water, and highlights its affordability and accessibility 6.

   

Sweeteners

Exploring sweetener alternatives, Jessie Inchauspe discusses the impact of various sweeteners on glucose levels. She notes that plant-based sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit do not trigger insulin release, making them preferable to sugar 7. However, she cautions that sweeteners can still increase cravings for sweet foods, suggesting a balanced approach to their use.

It's better to drink a diet soda than to drink a real, you know, can of soda. I mean, it's a spectrum, guys.

Jessie also addresses the effects of juicing, explaining that fruit juices, devoid of fiber, can lead to glucose spikes similar to soda, while vegetable juices are less concerning due to their lower sugar content 8.
