Dietary science is on the move. For decades, people were wrongly focused on reducing fat and calories, whereas we now know that the real trouble-makers are the foods that deregulate our blood sugar levels. In writing both clear and empathetic, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé explains why blood sugar spikes are so bad for us and how to flatten those spikes to transform our health. By analysing decades of research and running thousands of original experiments on herself wearing a continuous glucose monitor, she has distilled 10 simple and surprising hacks that can be easily incorporated into everyday life. By the end of this book, you'll be aware of how food impacts your biology. You'll know which breakfast choices may be causing your cravings, in which order you should eat the food on your plate, what not to do on an empty stomach, which foods lead to mood swings, and how to avoid being sleepy at 3pm. You'll evolve the way you eat, take control of your health, and your life will flourish.
"Jessie Inchauspé offers a framework for healing through science-backed nutrition hacks with this four-week program incorporating the principles of how to avoid glucose spikes into your everyday life"--

"Lose weight, stop cravings, get your energy back, and still eat what you love."
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We are the pilots of our bodies, and we need to understand how they work in order to maintain optimal health. We need to understand our glucose levels, as they are the easiest to understand and control. If our glucose levels are out of balance, we will feel tired, our hormones will get out of whack, and we will crave sugar. #2 If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you may be dysregulated. To find out, ask yourself if you’ve been told by a doctor that you need to lose weight, if you’re trying to lose weight but finding it difficult, if your waist size is above 40 inches if you are a man or above 35 inches if you are a woman, and so on. #3 The more I learn about how our bodies work, the more I realize that there is no benefit to extreme diets. The diets that work are the ones that flatten our glucose, fructose, and insulin curves. #4 The three caveats are that your body is a plane, and you are both the pilot and the passenger. You must understand that flattening your glucose curves is the first step to getting your body back to cruising altitude.
