Body Awareness Over Restrictive Diets

Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspé has been an important read for me in my journey to educate myself about nutrition and strengthen my awareness of how food affects the body. I didn’t read it to drastically change my life but to understand the science behind glucose and how it influences our health. The book presents valuable insights into how managing glucose levels can positively impact energy, mood, and even weight control.

One particularly interesting concept I took from the book is the recommendation to start your meal with vegetables and finish them before moving on to other types of food. Inchauspé explains that eating vegetables first helps prevent a spike in glucose levels, something that can happen when we consume sugars and carbs right away. This advice really stood out to me because it’s a simple habit to adopt, yet it can make a noticeable difference in maintaining steady energy levels throughout the day.

The book isn’t about restrictive diets; instead, it focuses on educating readers to make more mindful choices. For me, it’s about becoming more aware of the science behind glucose and how small changes in eating habits can help stabilise blood sugar. I believe sharing these insights from Glucose Revolution can inspire others to think more carefully about how they structure their meals and to become more mindful about their overall health choices.
