Summary
Improve all areas of your health from your weight， sleep， cravings， mood， energy， skin， and even slow down aging， with easy-to-implement， science-based hacks to manage your blood sugar levels while still eating the foods you love。
Glucose， or blood sugar， is a tiny molecule in our body that has a huge impact on our health。
It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat。 In the past five years， scientists have discovered that glucose affects everyone—not just people with diabetes。 If we have too much glucose in our system， we put on weight， feel tired and hungry all the time， have skin breakouts， develop wrinkles， and our hormonal balance suffers。 Over time， too much glucose contributes to chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes， polycystic ovarian syndrome， cancer， dementia， and heart disease。
In How to Be a Glucose Goddess， scientist and researcher Jessie Inchauspé offers timeless lessons to lower your glucose levels quickly—and for good—without going on a diet。 She shares simple， surprising， and science-based strategies and firsthand accounts from people who’ve tried them and have seen incredible results。 For example:
-How eating foods in the right order will help you shed weight without even trying
-Why choosing dessert over a sweet snack will curb your cravings and bring balance to your hormones
-What secret ingredient will allow you to enjoy starchy foods without guilt
-And much more！
Both entertaining， informative， and packed with the latest scientific data， this book presents a new way to think about better health。 How to Be a Glucose Goddess is chock-full of tips that can drastically and immediately improve your life， whatever your dietary preferences。

There's definitely a handful of core concepts I learned in reading this that I'll implement in my ongoing dance with prediabetes （2。5 years in！）， and hopefully in 3-6 months I can report a positive impact on my next A1C tests。 However there's really not a lot of content here that's not present on the GG Instagram or podcast appearances （half the book is notes and index）。 Definitely hoping these simple hacks can make a dent in my glucose levels！ Time will tell。 There's definitely a handful of core concepts I learned in reading this that I'll implement in my ongoing dance with prediabetes （2。5 years in！）， and hopefully in 3-6 months I can report a positive impact on my next A1C tests。 However there's really not a lot of content here that's not present on the GG Instagram or podcast appearances （half the book is notes and index）。 Definitely hoping these simple hacks can make a dent in my glucose levels！ Time will tell。 。。。more

I listened to this and the author's voice is so pleasant and companionable which really impacted my experience。 She is to the point， explains the science in easy to understand language， and gives you easy actionable changes you can make that will impact your health。 No tacky plugs or list of supplements to be found- aside from possibly following her IG account， which I already do because it's full of helpful information as well。 Inchauspe does not come across as self-serving like so many others I listened to this and the author's voice is so pleasant and companionable which really impacted my experience。 She is to the point， explains the science in easy to understand language， and gives you easy actionable changes you can make that will impact your health。 No tacky plugs or list of supplements to be found- aside from possibly following her IG account， which I already do because it's full of helpful information as well。 Inchauspe does not come across as self-serving like so many others in this genre do。 I get the feeling she genuinely wants to help people achieve optimal health。 The best part: I have noticed a change in my energy through the day with the simple changes of eating food groups in the order she prescribes and getting a little movement in during the hour after eating。 Simple is best。 。。。more

Cómo libro está bien， me encanta que tiene un enfoque no dieta pero siento que aún sataniza de sobre manera el azúcar y puede ser desencadenante para personas con transtornos de alimentación。

So appreciate this book。 I just read Ted Naiman's book so trying to combine both ideas as well as using Marty Kendall's work。 Book is easy to read and follow。 I finished in a day。 Fine tuned my understanding of details that hadn't stuck yet。 So appreciate this book。 I just read Ted Naiman's book so trying to combine both ideas as well as using Marty Kendall's work。 Book is easy to read and follow。 I finished in a day。 Fine tuned my understanding of details that hadn't stuck yet。 。。。more

I don't feel qualified to evaluate the science in this book， but when research based on continuous glucose monitoring leads to recommendations that mirror the way people have eaten in many cultures for eons， it seems to lend some face validity。 The book is well-written and engaging and by following just a couple of the author's "hacks" for two weeks （savory breakfast and starting meals with veggies）， my energy seems to be getting a bit higher and more consistent。 You could get the gist of the au I don't feel qualified to evaluate the science in this book， but when research based on continuous glucose monitoring leads to recommendations that mirror the way people have eaten in many cultures for eons， it seems to lend some face validity。 The book is well-written and engaging and by following just a couple of the author's "hacks" for two weeks （savory breakfast and starting meals with veggies）， my energy seems to be getting a bit higher and more consistent。 You could get the gist of the author's work by following her on instagram or listening to a podcast interview （how I found her）， but it's nice to have all the ideas in the clear， logical sequence of her book。 Recommend！ 。。。more

This is the most useful， realistic and practical book on healthy eating I have ever read。 Not to mention the easiest to read。 The first part has scientific explanations that are engaging and easy to understand （I know-shocking， right？）。 Then come the hacks-wow！ They’re easy to do and make it easy to improve your veggie intake。 I have never felt that I would be able to give up sugar but after reading the Glucose Revolution I feel I can definitely lower my sugar intake and glucose spikes without t This is the most useful， realistic and practical book on healthy eating I have ever read。 Not to mention the easiest to read。 The first part has scientific explanations that are engaging and easy to understand （I know-shocking， right？）。 Then come the hacks-wow！ They’re easy to do and make it easy to improve your veggie intake。 I have never felt that I would be able to give up sugar but after reading the Glucose Revolution I feel I can definitely lower my sugar intake and glucose spikes without totally depriving myself。 If you have a sugar issue you NEED to read this book。 It’s seriously life changing。 Oh and make sure to follow the Glucose Goddess on instagram！ 。。。more

I thought I would give this book a try but was worried it would be another diet book that I read as part of my annual New Year's resolution to lose weight and then end up not doing anything with it and putting it in my large pile of other discarded diet books -- but boy， was I happily mistaken！！ This is not a traditional diet book at all。 In fact， this book has easy-to-follow "hacks" to help even out blood sugar after meals。 I had gestational diabetes and also pre-diabetes and have had blood sug I thought I would give this book a try but was worried it would be another diet book that I read as part of my annual New Year's resolution to lose weight and then end up not doing anything with it and putting it in my large pile of other discarded diet books -- but boy， was I happily mistaken！！ This is not a traditional diet book at all。 In fact， this book has easy-to-follow "hacks" to help even out blood sugar after meals。 I had gestational diabetes and also pre-diabetes and have had blood sugar and resulting energy issues post meals。 I started trying some of her tips for example， change the order in which to eat food groups at a meal， and I am already feeling a real difference。 I really liked her illustrations showing a graphic difference of blood sugar levels -- particularly helpful for me was to not eat sugar on an empty stomach。 I recommend this book。 。。。more

More reviews （and no fluff） on the blog http://surrealtalvi。wordpress。com/This is one of the few books written by a media personality that I think gets the right balance of information and readability。 The author is concise， explains her recommendations only to the point needed， and has some great information here。 But again， this is an advertisement for her community and you are the one paying her to advertise her services。 Fortunately， you should get something out of this too。The book is More reviews （and no fluff） on the blog http://surrealtalvi。wordpress。com/This is one of the few books written by a media personality that I think gets the right balance of information and readability。 The author is concise， explains her recommendations only to the point needed， and has some great information here。 But again， this is an advertisement for her community and you are the one paying her to advertise her services。 Fortunately， you should get something out of this too。The book is not written for type II diabetics alone but includes non diabetics as well。 Like many media personalities， she became obsessed with the topic due to her own medical conditions and therefore researched the topic to death and then started a community to share her knowledge。 It's important to remember she is not in the medical profession but has done her homework to ensure she can present a concise and informative book on the topic。The book focuses around several tips to help you control your blood sugar: mostly dealing with how you eat and not what you eat。 The order you eat is the central theme and the other few tips really have to do with that。 It's about eating vegetables first and then carbs to stop the spikes。 From that recommendations of eating vegetables before you know you're going to have a heavy carb load （as with eating out with friends） and similar tips。 It all makes a lot of sense and she gives easy-to-follow and read proof on why her tips are useful。I did find the book a quick read and informative。 But I did become VERY tired of the endless self promotion and felt this was more of a marketing pamphlet getting you to join her group than a self help book。 So keep that in mind when reading。 Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher。 。。。more

Another fad diet？ Not at all！ This book is packed full of science。 It starts with Jessie Inchauspe wearing a continuous glucose monitor while keeping track of what she ate and when。 After sharing her findings and attracting 270k followers （that's a quarter of a million people！） as @GlucoseGoddess on Instagram， she collected testimonials from people who found that her simple "Life Hacks" really work。 You might suppose that these testimonials are from the usual cult of sheep who latch onto some ch Another fad diet？ Not at all！ This book is packed full of science。 It starts with Jessie Inchauspe wearing a continuous glucose monitor while keeping track of what she ate and when。 After sharing her findings and attracting 270k followers （that's a quarter of a million people！） as @GlucoseGoddess on Instagram， she collected testimonials from people who found that her simple "Life Hacks" really work。 You might suppose that these testimonials are from the usual cult of sheep who latch onto some charismatic leader and benefit from the placebo effect， but no， judging from the comments at Instagram， these are "normal" people reporting genuine （and major！） improvements in their health after adopting these very simple， very inexpensive tips。Of course I shared these Life Hacks with friends and family。 Of course I have met with resistance。It's so easy， though！ Before breakfast， eat a vegetable first。 My mom detests avacado， and my husband won't even try it， but there are so many veggies to pick from。 Choke down a clump of broccoli （my most-hated vegetable， but I eat it anyway， because I should。） Eat some cucumber， spinach， anything green， or maybe even a tomato， but eat FIBER and VEGGIE first。 Next， ideally， add a protein/fat。 Apparently you can also "clothe your carbs" by having your eggs with toast， vs eggs before toast， or your bacon-egg-and cheese biscuit。As a firm believer in the 16-hour Intermittent Fasting fad， I no longer eat breakfast。 The ONLY way I could lose 15 pounds after turning 50 （and being overweight throughout most of this decade） was to practice the fasting。 My mom was slow to take it up， but when she did （fasting 4 p。。m。 to 8 a。m。 because she could never give up breakfast）， she lost 20 pounds。 It's been two years for both of us， and it's still working， even with the occasional cheat。 （I will gain a pound overnight if I break the fast。）So， for me， first meal of the day is lunch at 11 a。m。 After reading this book， I will always make sure the first thing I eat is a veggie。 Another hack I'm following， even though I detest the stuff: a spoonful of vinegar in a tall glass of water before each meal。 Yes， you can also add it during a meal or even after a sugary snack， and it will still go a long way toward leveling off the dreaded glucose spike， but vinegar FIRST is the ideal， along with VEGGIE first。 Inshcauspe offers many， many tips and ideas on how to incorporate the vinegar and the veggies into your daily diet。 It doesn't have to be 100% According to Protocol。 If I keep sharing what's in the book， you might think there's no need to buy the book。 Not true。 I don't have time to spill all the beans， and no one book review can dish up every delectable detail。 GLUCOSE REVOLUTION comes with so much more than you will see at the Instagram site。 Explanations on why it works， and how， with compelling test results; lots of graphs （which I skip; to me they all look alike after a while）; lots of case stories from people who inspire me to take heed and follow the good advice; and lots of science， presented in layman's terms。I would buy copies of this for dozens of people I know。 For now， I've been sharing the Instagram site。 For skeptics， the book offers proof that this is more than some new fad diet。 It's not even a "diet。" It's a few simple things we can do lower the impact of sugar on our health。NOTE: All sugars are the same。 Honey， agave， pure white cane sugar， brown sugar， the list goes on and on， but the same glucose molecule is what all sugars break into。 Yes， some sweeteners are worse than others （high fructose corn syrup， for one）。 Fruit juice is terrible: three times the sugar of one piece of fruit， minus the fiber。 These are things you may already know， but fear not， there is a lot of stuff in this book that you do not already know unless you've been researching it already。The good news: YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE and eat it too。 You do not have to purge all sweets from your diet。 。。。more

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for providing me an eARC in exchange for an honest review。Let me be honest: I was skeptical going into this book。 I've been reading dietary advice books since I was very young due to the unfortunate and all-too-common combination of PCOS and an eating disorder that informed my adolescent years。 I expected this to be another scolding of a book （the type that says eating any refined carbohydrate ever might as well be sentencing yourself to an early death Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for providing me an eARC in exchange for an honest review。Let me be honest: I was skeptical going into this book。 I've been reading dietary advice books since I was very young due to the unfortunate and all-too-common combination of PCOS and an eating disorder that informed my adolescent years。 I expected this to be another scolding of a book （the type that says eating any refined carbohydrate ever might as well be sentencing yourself to an early deathbed or that claims eating enough blueberries will cure your PTSD， depression， anxiety and probably cancer， too）。This was not this sort of book。 This was an informative read that took legitimate， peer-reviewed scientific studies and broke them down into the language of the common man （sometimes to the point of over-simplification， but there's only so much you can ask for）。 It doesn't demand more of you than you can give and certainly doesn't expect perfection。 Instead， this book offers sound， scientifically grounded advice about the best ways to structure your meals and meal plans in order to flatten the curve （too soon for a little bit of covid humor？） of your glucose spikes。 Her advice comes only after the first third of the book breaks down how and why our bodies crave and react to glucose， fructose and sucrose—and come alongside both studies and data about why her tips work and personal success stories。 I would recommend this book to anyone looking to gain a greater insight into their personal health without hearing any extremist calls to radically cut out whole food groups or otherwise adopt unsustainable lifestyle practices。 。。。more

Thank you so much to Simon & Schuster for providing a copy of this book in exchange for a review on NetGalley。I loved this book。Here's a disclaimer: though I was really intrigued by the premise of this book--how to get your health back on track （to include， among others， cravings， fatigue， dementia， heart disease， and issues for diabetics） by tackling foods that mess with your blood sugar， I was cautious。 Other books of this nature seemed overly focused on the author's platform， so I naturally t Thank you so much to Simon & Schuster for providing a copy of this book in exchange for a review on NetGalley。I loved this book。Here's a disclaimer: though I was really intrigued by the premise of this book--how to get your health back on track （to include， among others， cravings， fatigue， dementia， heart disease， and issues for diabetics） by tackling foods that mess with your blood sugar， I was cautious。 Other books of this nature seemed overly focused on the author's platform， so I naturally thought that I'd hear more about the Glucose Goddess （IG） than anything else I could apply to my own life。And while， yes， there are plugs for Inchauspe's Instagram account （which I followed based on this reading because I'm curious to check out more of her tips）， this book was much more than that。First of all， I rarely finish books like these。 I browse through， focusing only on pages that concern what I'm specifically looking for。 Glucose Revolution？ I read every page （in one day。 This was a fast read）。 Inchauspe's prose is relatable and engaging。 She gives us the science behind how glucose in our food effects all aspects of our lives in clear and understandable terms， as though she's a close friend， rather than a pretentious expert demanding things from us。 And along with that， she gives easy and actionable ways in which we can make changes in our diets to positively impact our health。 And unlike other books I've read on the subject， this doesn't include specialty foods found only in pricey boutique shops， but every day ingredients that are easy to access。I'm eagerly looking forward to trying the "hacks" that are put forth in this book。 And while I don't know if they'll work for me like I want， the book is an excellent starting point for improving things。 。。。more
