Currently, there is no conclusive evidence that the small fluctuations of blood glucose before and after eating can be detrimental to health.

That’s because glucose is an immediate source of energy, which is great if you’re planning to run a marathon after you eat a bunch of pasta. But if you’re not, the hormone insulin will work to transform the glucose into fatty acids, which are then stored as fat.Inchauspé added that people will notice effects of more consistent glucose levels almost immediately, and that being aware of glucose levels doesn’t mean giving anything up. Stop counting calories — I don’t think we need a full explanation of this as I know it’s something that people don’t want to have to spend their entire lives counting calories, and I am all for this. This is more about looking at the quality of your food and eating more whole foods and not having to count anything. Remember the basics of healthy nutrition. Balance is a keyword I choose to live by and also finding that sweet spot between body confidence at any size and also prioritising health and longevity. Ultimately feeling good in my body above all else.

This is what I like most about this approach is that most of these can be applied pretty easily. My Thoughts For instance, going and doing 30 squats after you have eaten something to help flatten your glucose curve. Just feels like it could bring up really negative images of young girls working out after every time they eat. I find it helps with my sweet cravings, and also it’s supporting me to keep my house a little tidier too as my post-meal movement tends to be something thrilling like doing another load of washing or my least favourite task of actually putting washing away. Please tell me it’s not just me that completely loathes that task?? Jørgen Bjørnholt et al., "Fasting blood glucose: an underestimated risk factor for cardiovascular death.

An example of misrepresented data: The evidence used to support the claim that the Glucose Goddess method can improve brain function is a singular study with a sample size of 49 people, that found that consumption of pure glucose in a fasted state can slightly impact cognitive function (Ginies et al 2018). This is reaching, it does not test the Glucose Godess method and does not indicate that the Glucose Goddess method can improve brain function. Other concerning messages from the Glucose Goddess I exercise regularly, sleep well and walk a lot daily. I eat a healthy balanced diet 75% of the time. Yeah I know I could probably get leaner if I notched that up to 80%, but I am just in a time in my life where I really don’t want that big of a restriction or rules. Going for a walk or just more general movement, I feel this not only helps flatten the curve, but gives you more headspace whilst also feeling like it aids digestion too. This will always be my preferred method of movement, or even something as simple as doing some tidying up. You know, something practical than just randomly busting out 30 squats! Whilst I love how Jessie lays down the science in simplistic terms in this book and gives lots of practical examples and tips from her Glucose Goddess community.Glucose Revolution will help you feel better, cut cravings, connect with yourself, balance your hormones, live longer, teach you science and put a smile on your face along the way.

One of the main things people discover once they start studying their glucose levels is that these cravings disappear. These energy dips disappear. They’re no longer tired, they’re no longer starving two hours after breakfast.”

I am someone that has struggled with peri-menopausal weight gain and likely with my sweet tooth I am pretty certain that I have way too much glucose in my system. I found that this diet really had some significant benefits in helping me to curb what has been a pretty consistent weight gain. In fact, as it’s currently summer time I have probably been even more relaxed with my eating and have still managed to maintain my weight over the last few weeks. The longer-term benefits include improvements in chronic issues such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, cancer, depression, gut problems, heart disease, infertility, PCOS to name a few. Well because as I stated above, I have been steadily gaining weight previously due to hormonal imbalances that are likely taking place in my body, without having changed much in my training or eating habits. I like to eat the foods that I love, live without feeling guilty around food and drink alcohol as and when it pleases me.
