GLUCOSE HACKS

Same meal, different effects on the body!

We can eat the exact same thing, but with a smaller glucose spikes we:

reduce our hunger for the rest of the day
reduce our cravings for the rest of the day
give our body more time in fat-burning mode
age more slowly
help our long-term health

The power is in the plate.  The power is in the apple cider vinegar, the timing and the fiber. So let’s talk about it. 

GLUCOSE HACK # 1: APPLE CIDER VINEGAR BEFORE EACH MEAL

Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a tall glass of water ten minutes before meals. If you can add your insoluble and soluble fiber. My absolute favorite is a product called GI Restore.

I have no affiliation to this product or the company, but I love it. So you can add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar somewhere between a teaspoon and a tablespoon of the GI Restore to a tall glass of water and drink that ten minutes before your meal.

Apple Cider Vinegar is said to be the best vinegar for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance.  This is because it’s the lowest in histamine of the vinegars out there. 

GLUCOSE HACK # 2: CHANGE THE ORDER YOU EAT YOUR FOOD

Eat your food in the right order for incredible vitality in Perimenopause and potential weight loss by focusing on vitality. 

1. reduce hunger for the rest of the day
2.  reduce cravings for the rest of the day 
3. give your body more time in fat burning mode 
4. age more slowly 
5. and help long-term health 

This is how you do it: 

• Veggies first ideally green veggies first
• Protein and fat second 
• Starches and sugars last 

1. Number one is fiber = fiber in the veggies coat the small intestine
2.  Fat and proteins slows down gastric emptying 
3. Glucose from the rest of the meal is absorbed to lesser and a smaller extent 

A smaller glucose spike by up to 73%

Focus on your vitality and achieve all this without changing anything you eat: 

• fuller for  longer 
• curve cravings 
• better hormonal balance 
• better skin 
• fewer wrinkles 
• reduce inflammation 
• slower aging 
• reduced risk of disease.
