IS THE GLUCOSE GODDESS METHOD LEGIT??

The Glucose Goddess, Jessie Inchauspé claims a whole host of positive health benefits. She claims that all you need to do is follow her '4 simple hacks' to break free from the glucose rollercoaster!
In this video I break down what exactly is the GGM and whether it's all it is made out to be. I answer your questions like:
WHO is the glucose goddess?
WHAT is the glucose goddess method?
Does the glucose goddess method ACTUALLY WORK?
Is the glucose goddess method A DIET?

Exactly. I don’t restrict carbs, but we don’t need sugars to survive. I eat a handful of fruit everyday and treats occasionally. Jessie doesn’t demonize glucose, she just lays down the fact.

I read the whole book last night and you missed 80% of the message. This is one of the easiest diet adjustments I have ever made. She encourages people to eat what they want, what they feel is best for their bodies, eat when you are hungry and until you are full. It is a very empathetic diet and considerate of all - including those with eating disorders, mobility restrictions, and general preferences. All of the hacks are based on real scientific research. And the hacks aren't that hard. In my opinion, a woman with PCOS, and many other health issues that almost require me to give up foods I like for the rest of my life or take lots of medications with many side effects - this method is revolutionary. I can eat things I like again with some pre and post cautions. It's amazing! It's life changing for women like me.

Do you think that her method can help me maintain without counting calories? Thank you.

This video confirmed again why the glucose method works and i shouldn't listen to random people on KZbin 😂 I've never felt better or lose weight so fast (and also keeping it) with such low effort. Because to me the tips from Jessie's book were easier than anything I've ever tried before. And yes, it does work. And i highly doubt it wouldn't work for most people But it's interesting to dismiss a method without even trying

[@simongarner5340]

You also shouldn’t listen to people who claim that the more blood sugar spikes you have the quicker you age and die (not true). Or people that sell an “anti-spike formula that hasn’t been tested and has no evidence that it works. Nor should you listen to people who tell you fruit is a bad snack.

GG has been saving lives, as she does mine. I’ve been struggling with binge eating my whole life but ever since I implemented GG’s methods surprisingly it took turn on my sugar cravings. I’m slowly leaning towards building a healthy relationship with food bcs of her method, for once in life it feels good not to think about food all the time and yet get to eat what I want without the urge to stuffed myself to the brim.

[@IoanaAndone]

Appreciate the counterview to what GG touts. But I have to say, as an adult who is currently in the healthiest place with how I view my body and diet I've ever been, I just took her advice that I heard in an interview and tried it out. I'm losing weight almost without realising and my periods have returned again! For each theory there is someone it will work for. For me it works and due to that alone I will get her book and study it, picking out other tips that could be useful and applying them

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. The issue with nutritional sciences in general is that it the research behind it is historically pretty bad, be it flawed or grossly underpowered studies to horribly abused and misunderstood statistics to animal studies that misrepresent the human condition to, sadly, cases of fraud. Unfortunately, I increasingly find it hard to put much stock in 'what the research says'. Listening to my body and getting personal data be it from a CGM device or whatever is, for me, a much better bet in understanding my health. However, I do agree with your concerns about how some of the way the glucose goddess talks about things and promotes 'hacks' could certainly promote disordered eating.

@@thatirishdietitian she is smart influencers, she tells "eat lot of veggies at every meal, drink water before meal and eat carbs at the end...and walk after every meal" By water and veggies your stomach will be full when is time to eat carbs, walking almost 1 hour at day will make you in calories deficit.

[@wiseandwherefores-qs5mk]

I feel that the important take-home messages of her method are not being properly understood here. The method doesn't require people to monitor everything they eat. No food is ‘off-limits’ It doesn't tell people to do 'push-ups' after eating, the plan advises exercising for 10 minutes after ONE meal a day, within 90 minutes after the end of the meal. People do not have to use glucose monitors to take part in this 4 week plan. Even if I don’t agree with everything she says, the hacks themselves make a lot of sense and clearly (judging by responses and reviews I’ve seen of her books/interviews etc) have been really beneficial for many people. And from what I’ve read in the book itself, I haven’t seen any suggestions that are harmful. Regarding your concern about the way Jesse eats herself. The 4 week method is a way of getting started with improving blood sugar control. She states in the book that not everyone needs to necessarily continue with all of these hacks, it is up to them. I’m reading her book and have seen some interviews but not the ones you mention. I’d be interested in the links so I can understand them in context.

This was a interesting counter take on this. I'm curious as to your thoughts on 1. eating a savory breakfast over eating a more traditional western breakfast that is high in carbs and sugars- cereal, toast, bagels... 2. eating veggies with every mean and eating your veggies or fiber first 3. the vinegar - this one is kind of questionable, I'll give you that, 4. walking or exercising after meals?? Pretty much all 4 of these things follow pretty closely to what is commonly found in the Mediterranean diet/lifestyle, which arguably is touted as the healthiest lifestyle/diet. They tend to eat more savory breakfasts, consume lots of veggies, use vinegar regularly in their cooking and are more active than most other western cultures. So is it the information that is bad and you disagree with it or is it the package it is presented in that you disagree with? At the end of the day from the 10,000 ft view it doesn't seem that far off from what most nutrition experts I've read about or listen to have recommended. Avoid processed grains/refined carbs and added sugar, base meals around lean proteins, consume more fiber daily, and eat more veggies and fruits

[@katarinakuruc5047]

It seems like you didn’t really read the book or even took a look at her recipes as well. Attacking her as well without backing up what you state, also taking just one thing and holding strong with it like this push ups part shows how you don’t take full perspective and you seem too aggressive towards it. She does focus on glucose but she also says how much fat and proteins are import and she repeats that throughout the book, and you can’t fight with the fact how much proteins and fats are important and how much harm can excessive sugar intake make. Before doing a video like this next time, try doing more research and getting more perspective yourself.

It’s like she already read the book biased in her own disagreement with it. I honestly feel like this kind of biochemical knowledge gives us the foundation of how our bodies operate, giving us the autonomy some nutritionist wouldn’t like us to have cause then we wouldn’t need them hahah. I hope more scientists get out there opening the book to society so we are more autonomous on making our health decisions. Nutrition and the way our body works should be public knowledge! It’s also funny how she talks like her method is not backed up by science when Jessie actually based her method on studying all the papers she could find as a scientist herself 😅

[@simongarner5340]

The GG does NOT present any evidence that blunting blood sugar levels in people with no blood sugar issues works. So before backing up the GG do your own research into the subject. The GG just wants to sell as many books as possible and sell her new supplement that has no evidence that it works. She is a spreader of misinformation; she says that the more blood sugar spikes a person has the quicker they age and die. This is based on ZERO evidence.

[@crystaldingman773]

The only lesson I learned from the “Glucose Godess” is how to make a ton of money using other people’s work. There is nothing new in her “ studies”. She is a an excellent sales person and nothing more. Obviously if people eat healthier, less calories and move more … they are going to feel better. The human body is miraculous and has a system in place to regulate glucose metabolism. Obviously this system is broken in diabetics and needs some help but she also claims this is powerful for non- diabetics, thus more business for her. She is smart enough to know that the average person can’t afford a continuous glucose monitor and thus- can’t prove or disprove her claims. Obviously a lower sugar diet that incorporates more vegetables will contribute to improved health and wellbeing- this is not ground breaking research. Her hacks are old news and common sense. What she is selling is an image. Basically this diet results in less calorie consumption- if you eat your veggies first- you will naturally take in less calories. We have heard a million times that high sugar breakfast leads to empty calories- causing fatigue and more food cravings. Increase movement leads to an uptake of glucose- again- old news. Exercise of any kind increases calories burned, increases endorphins and leads to weight loss and improved mood and motivation to move more. Don’t get me started on the vinegar…… this apple cider “ hack” has been highly researched and there is a ton of old literature to suggest this may have an impact on weight loss. They make apple cider vinegar pills for Gods sake. Just because she takes a pile of old research and common sense practices and wraps them up into a fancy package called “ the method” doesn’t make her a genius. She prays on the sick and desperate like every other “ diet” guru. When people are fatigued due to poor health and see her perfect body and perfect skin and energetic sales pitch they will do just about anything to try and achieve the image she is selling them. She is barely 30 years old, physically healthy and could literally sell anything to anyone. That being said - I don’t think the “ method” is unhealthy as this review suggests. In fact - it is very healthy especially when compared to most people’s current eating habits. Savory breakfast will almost always result in a more nutritious, lower calorie, higher protein start to the day. I’m just saying there is absolutely nothing new or earth shattering here. All she has done is summarized a pile of well established research and wrapped it up with a bow added her attractive looks and marketed it as something unique. She might be a genius but it’s not for the reasons you think. I already eat like this for the most part. The vinegar isn’t for me - its effect is marginal and mostly placebo making the user feel like they are accomplishing something. Like they have found a “ hack” when really they are just eating less, more nutrient dense foods and moving more like we all should already be doing. If you need a “ method” to get motivated then go ahead but you do not need to purchase anything special or make her recipes. Filling up on bread before your meal …. There is no glucose crash 45 minutes later in healthy individuals. We all know most people will eat the entire meal that they ordered as many of us were raised in the clean your plate generations. Saving the bread until last just means you will eat less over all because it was free and not part of your plate and if you are full ( mostly from all the vegetables she had you eat first) you will be more inclined to leave the bread behind. Who doesn’t know that grapes are very high up on the glycemic index? These “ tips” are not only things we already know - they are just extractions from other diets and research documented in the 90’s. Don’t get sucked in to the image she is selling. She very intentionally continually asks viewers to really look at the photography in her recipe book - to pay attention to its “ artistic” value. All of those photos are intentionally made to look as seductive and suggestive as possible. She isn’t selling healthy desert recipes. She is selling sex appeal. I don’t actually have a problem with any of this. I just want people to take a closer look at what her method really is before they throw their hard earned money at her and then blame themselves when they don’t end up with the sexy, glowing image she is selling. It’s marketing, marketing and more marketing. She is indeed young and beautiful but I highly doubt that her motivation was to help people. You already know this information! You already have these tools in your brain- forget the hype. Just dig deep and use them. You are worth it.

Unless you are diabetic your body should be able to cope with the blood sugar rises and you most certainly remain healthy despite eating sugar and have blood sugar spikes. If you have blood sugar issues and those spikes remain elevated then you have to monitor it.

[@manasdeb7476]

@simongarner5340 Sir, if one abuses his body with excess sugar (your body can safely tolerate only one teaspoonful of sugar at any given point of time) and by enjoying processed foods till one fine morning he finds his body can't cope any more and he is diabetic. Monitoring blood glucose will not yield any result and one becomes slave to the eating habits as your lectin's feeble voice would by then be overpowered by ghrelin hormone. Prediabetes is a long period and food industry are always ready to fool the mass through such controversies confusing the people. did you notice that this learned channel is advocating against someone (for whom the beneficiaries are voicing their personal experiences and testifies the benefits, see the comments) but you can't find any superior advice here . Only criticism and no better advice doesn't earn people's trust. Sugar and diabetes industry is far more powerful than we can even think of. There are several trustworthy Dieticians and scientists who research constantly on macronutrients and eating habits, foods which our bodies are adapted to guided by our hormones working according to our genetic codes. But these scientists and nutritionists are not vocal and never misleading online. On the contrary if you are lucky to come across their interviews sometimes you'd find them explaining the basics and educate us. You may like to watch the channnel "Nutrition made simple' podcasts, interviews of Scientist Ben Bikman, read 'Autophagy' discovered by Nobel Laurate Japanese Scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi , you may like to hear the lecture of Doctor Pradip Jamnadas in Galen Foundation, lectures of Dr. Jason Fung etc. Thanks

For me, GG method is legit because most of her advice is what I always heard from doctors/nutritionists in Japan. I lived in Japan for 13 years and didn't know I've been unconsciously doing these habits mentioned in GG. Her advice is nothing new if you live in Japan, and it's already a lifestyle in Japan. These habits not stressful at all, didn't count calories, ate savoury breakfast with rice. Japanese diet can easily reach, 2000cal even for women. They ate balance meal without restricting anything. Japanese do a lot of activities like walking or housework after their meal. They also enjoy their desserts in between meals yet remained thin. Eating was enjoyable in Japan. The only huge health problem they have is the impact of drinking beer daily and eating late at night after work. Then, I returned to my country, gain a lot of weight after falling out of habit. I followed so many western diet advice, hired a nutritionist for a year, followed her strict calorie plan, but I couldn't lose weight at all after all that strict monitoring. Ended up being more stressful. For me GG habits is a great way to create the butterfly effect, get motivated, because it's not a huge change compared to keto, paleo or any other diets out there.

@@msrislammylife I learned about her method while working with a health coach for disordered eating and she’s specialised in EDs and loves the GG method. If you have a health coach, nutritionist or therapist, it’s worth discussing this with them because there are four main “rules” in the method which could trigger certain thought patterns or behaviours in people recovering from an ED. However, if you take the “rules” as general guidelines and understand that it’s okay if you don’t do them all all the time, which she herself emphasises in her second book - they’re designed as useful guidelines not strict “rules” - you’ll be fine! It’s really up to you to decide whether this is the kind of useful, positive structure you’d like when it comes to your relationship to food. It’s less about what you eat than when you eat it, to be honest, and that alone just changes how your body feels. Use your judgment and discuss it with a professional if you’re unsure! It’s so hard because you need some structure to overcome an ED but too rigid a structure and you’re at risk of falling back into strict food “rules”, and all the self-recrimination that comes with it. Well done for getting to where you are and I wish you lots of strength and success as you continue to recover ❤️❤️

The GG method gives you general tools that you can incorporate into your approach to eating (1. savoury breakfast 2. vinegar once a day, preferably before your biggest meal, 3. veggie starter before your biggest meal and 4. movement after eating, preferably your biggest meal). So you can combine that with intermittent fasting, with your work schedule, with meal plans etc. It’s super flexible!

Then I realized that I already eat mostly that way already, and maybe that is why I am healthy at nearly 90. A savory breakfast, lots of veggies, salad first with vinaigrette dressing. I am just missing the walk after dinner, but maybe doing the dishes counts.

Your claims in this video are disingenuous and misleading. I do agree that her ideas (actually Dr Robert Lustig has promoted similar for years) should be based on rigorous evidence based research.

Weight inclusive is a catch phrase for the last few years that says being big can be healthy which is false. Just because people are big and do not currently have metabolic issues doesn't mean that their weight is not working on having them in the near future.

I think perhaps glucose might be to blame, we do eat a lot more glucose than we used to…I know it’s anecdotal but cutting down on glucose is not a bad thing. Look at how much obesity there is in countries that consume more glucose compared to some that don’t.

Blood sugar (glucose levels) is not the same as consuming added sugar. Rice, pasta, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lentils, chickpeas etc all raise our blood glucose levels and are perfectly healthy.

[@SteveBurns80]

I'm here because I wanted to answer your question... Yes, the method is legit. It works great for me, and I certainly wouldn't call it dieting. In fact, my actual diet hasn't changed at all, only the order and timing of my food intake. I have always eaten a balanced diet, and I'm perfectly healthy in every way. Fit and healthy and very active in my day to day and I also run marathons throughout the year for enjoyment. However, in the past, I've always struggled a bit with the highs and lows of my blood sugar. Even though I'm eating mostly low GI foods, I would still have low blood sugar crashes if I didn't eat at the right time. Also, you don't need to have specific studies done on this so called "method" The facts on how the human body uses and absorbs glucose is very well known, and because they are already "facts" we don't need to question it. The simple hacks she describes are just to help slow the absorption of glucose and also to use them at the correct times so you don't have a glucose overload. You're supposedly a dietician? I would've thought you'd be able to understand why this so called "method" would work. You're stating that this can incourage eating disorders? You clearly have no idea if you believe this. Eating disorders are mainly caused from poor metal health/self image disorders ect. You criticised the comment "doing push-ups right before or after a piece of cake". This can perfectly explained by the facts on how muscles use glucose. It's just a simple hack that outlines the importance of when we can use up those excess glucose, this is also backed by sports science. Obviously, simple carbs should be avoided at all cost, but sometimes, you need to have that piece of bithday cake, otherwise you may offend people, this could ruin your social life.

[@simongarner5340]

Worrying about what order to eat your foods at a meal is disordered eating no question about it. Sure if there is a salad or veggie soup for starters that's fair enough but say you got a stir fry and you picked out the veggies first, then ate the meat and then finished with the noodles - that's messed up. And if someone continually worries and obsesses about what order they eat their food then why could that not contribute to the development of an eating disorder? Some of the studies the GG quotes are done on diabetic people so of course the results are going to match the message the GG is trying to get across. If you write a book and say that this X method works then you need PROOF, otherwise it's just an opinion. Why should simple carbs be avoided at all costs? A potato is a simple carb and actually rates as the most satiating food. Rice is also a simple carb - should the billions of people in Asia avoid it all costs? Its been a staple of the diet for centuries. If you were a diabetic then you may have to pay attention to simple carbs on there own but if they are paired with some protein, fibre and fat the blood sugar spike would be minimal.

The point is to not worry as much. If it becomes your culture to often eat a veggie starter, it’s not worrisome. Our culture clearly got the order wrong with sugary breakfast being promoted as healthy. That’s worrisome.

[@MrKravmagadude]

What is a 'weight inclusive dietician'?

[@Updog89]

Weight-inclusive nutrition is an approach to nutrition counseling that purports to focus on access to respectful and equitable care regardless of size based on evidence. It offers nutritional advice that isn’t simplistically centered solely around weight loss. In theory it can be very useful for people recovering from eating disorders, athletes, and certain metabolic conditions. It also makes sure not to assume that someone is eating healthy just because they are lean. The problem is that, at least in my experience, many of them cater so much to people with eating disorders that they overcorrect and don’t actually provide much help for healthy and sustainable weight loss, even when it’s clearly necessary for health. They go so far to avoid fatphobia and push intuitive eating that sometimes it clouds their ability to understand and meet their client’s unique needs. For example, I have PCOS and have insulin resistance and nutrient deficiencies that caused me to lose control of my weight very suddenly and rapidly, which in turn caused me to develop injuries to my feet and knees as a runner because my muscles weren’t properly conditioned for my excess weight. I have seen 3 different RDs for this issue, including 2 weight inclusive RDs. The first RD didn’t know much about PCOS and just insisted that I eat only 1200 calories a day (1300 on the days I went out running) because a simple calorie deficit would cause me to lose weight quickly and supposedly improve my sensitivity to insulin. That was NOT sustainable for me, I was constantly in a fog and couldn’t keep up running. My PCOS symptoms actually got worse and I did lose weight but I’m pretty sure some of it was muscle. The second RD I saw was weight inclusive, and she actually did teach me to care more about incorporating certain macronutrients like protein and healthy fats, which helped my PCOS symptoms and athletic performance a lot. She also taught me about probiotics and anti-inflammatory foods which was super helpful. But she INSISTED I do intuitive eating and learn to listen to my body to figure out how much to eat, and I actually gained weight because of this. As you can imagine was very distressing for my joints, I actually needed almost a year of physical therapy and still have plantar fasciitis issues to this day. Turns out my insulin resistance made it very difficult to eat intuitively because the main side effect is uncontrolled hunger and sweets cravings. I asked about this and my RD was almost allergic to discussions about cutting carbs or calories. Even though my therapist assured me I wasn’t suffering from an eating disorder or internalized fatphobia, my RD insinuated I was simply because I was skeptical of intuitive eating and unhappy to have gained more weight. I ended up switching to another weight inclusive RD (with great trepidation) who was thankfully less obsessed with intuitive eating and not totally paranoid about EDs. She was the one that validated my need to count calories but without being so extreme as the first RD. And it turns out I just need a small calorie deficit paired with high protein to boost my muscle, burn fat, and manage my PCOS symptoms. She actually knew about PCOS nutrition research AND athletic nutrition in depth, and she seemed to understand that just because I avoid high-glycemic carbs and follow glucose goddess hacks because it relieves my PCOS symptoms doesn’t mean I have an eating disorder. Ultimately I do agree in theory with the concept of weight inclusive dietitians, but some of them REALLY seem to miss the mark in an attempt to avoid fatphobia and/or avoid provoking eating disorders. The right one will be better with nuance, but it was hard to find.

It does. I haven't lost weight, but cravings are gone and moods are more stabilized. And it has helped hormone related symptoms. No issues with disordered eating as I already had that from histamine intolerance.... with 1 of my root causes being PCOS from insulin resistance. Maybe you should actually try some of these things before you say they are crap. It might help your patients to know they have multiple options that can help. Shoot, the time I tried medically managed weight loss with a dietician and my doctor was the first time I started binge eating in a regular way. The thing you seem to miss about the programs you dislike sp much is that they give people hope. I think at least most of us are willing to try a few tips and shrug it off if it doesn't work... but as it turned out, It worked, and I bought the book. And read it in 2 days. Even switched doctors and sought help because the one I had didn't want to look into the hormone issues I was having unless I was trying to conceive or was past menopause.

6:00 having a little movement after eating sugar can cause eating disorder??? She is talking about calling a friend to have a short walk, this sounds so healthy to me. Eating lota of sugar and sitting down on a sofa sounds way worse. I’ve got eating disorder and it came mainly from the glucose sparks she talks about! Being a biochemist, isn’t it the fundamental knowledge for nutrition to actually be possible? I mean, she could understand deep down to how our cells act and react, can it be deeper than that? I looove her tip, I’ve been dealing with all the symptoms she mentioned and I’m gonna be testing her method for sure. And last: I don’t think she is focusing on micromanaging one aspect of eating habits, it’s focusing on a molecule that impacts the whole body, how it impacts and what are some simple steps to improve how this molecule works. If she was focusing on let’s say C vitamin levels, alright, but it’s nit the case. And finally: that’s exactly her point: the amount of glucose we get from the foods we have nowadays it’s NOT NATURAL, and it isn’t. Nature didn’t predict us manipulating food in order to get the finest sugar like we did, and our bodies are not able to process that “naturally” as we can see in the long run with obesity and diabetes increasing so much! Though, I agree she could be more careful with her writing. But I understand: it’s dangerous when someone is trying to give people such a fundamental knowledge causing them to having autonomy to decide what to eat based on biochemical reactions rather than being dependent on a nutritionist to do so.

I always appreciate another view, and while I might agree with your take on the vulnerabilities of GG’s work, it definitely fits a pattern around our awareness around the foods we eat. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is a killer, driven by money - that’s clear to me. You mention we don’t know what causes diabetes, but we definitely know obesity and poor dietary health is ravaging our population. Sugar, starch and processed food intake is at the core. The problem is that folks doing your work tend to follow research studies primarily, until of course the studies are proven wrong. It seems to be more about research than anything else. The problem with research is that it doesn’t tell the whole story, and heavy reliance on it often misses valuable points. Anecdotal evidence has value too. And the reality is that it has more of an immediate effect on people than research. Therefore it’s actually more powerful. I mean, need I point out the fallacy of the fat-free research of the 1980s? I am a type 2 diabetic, with a continuous glucose monitor. While my experience noting how which foods, and the order in which I eat them, or what I combine them with affects my BG is anecdotal, my life is also anecdotal. I consume all the information out there, including that from folks like you. I then experiment coupling it with my own experience. GG’s work matches a pattern of common concepts around the crap we eat. Like your work, it has value. I take all of it in, and apply what I find works for me. Finally, I notice you seem to have a focus on eating disorders and disordered eating. That’s awesome. But I’m not sure how this factors into your objectivity on a topic like this. Is it possible that you, like many others, have bastardized the word diet due to your work with this population? Clinicians have a tendency to get wrapped up in labels, become inappropriately inclusive, and jump to conclusions that are counter to a holistic approach and which fail to focus on general wellness. Thank you for your video. I think it is legit. But I also see legitimacy in GG’s method as well.

I totally agree with this Irish dietician. Thank goodness to hear some discussion about Jessie Inchauspe. My first thought on her method was, and the question is fundamental, are these glucose spikes really so harmful for someone without diabetes? Out of interest I am trying out some of her hacks. Eating less sugar always decreases your sugar cravings - so that’s good. I am enjoying only eating between 10am and 6pm (intermittent fasting) I am trying harder to walk 10,000 steps per day. The biggest behaviour change I am implementing is asking myself « are you truly hungry? » and often the answer is « no ». So yes, I have lost some weight, but I do think it is all a bit daft, and scientifically woolly. She talks about deconstructing a sandwich so you eat the veggies first, then the cheese/ham and then the bread. Sorry, but the greatest enjoyment of food is eating the different groups all at the same time. I will increase the vegetables I eat, increase activity, decrease my eating « window », and cut out processed sugar items whilst allowing myself fruit. Basically there is nothing new in my regime!

On the very first day of trying 1.drinking diluted vinegar, 2.eating savoury (protein based) breakfast, 3.keeping the order: salad, protein, carbs ALL my problems disappeared. I thought, it must have been a coincidence, then another day passed then a whole week and up until today I have been feeling great without any of the above mentioned symptoms. Seriously, I do not care whether the actions I have taken (the 10 hacks available free of charge on a piece of A4 paper) are called a diet or not, as they work wonders. I would suggest that instead of criticizing it from a theoretical point of view, one should try it to see if it works. And if it does, why not recommend it to one's own clients to help some people. It isn't restrictive in any ways, as one can eat everything, what matters is the order. I have never come across a diet (if we want to call it a diet) easier to implement than this way of eating. By the way, I didn't intend to lose weight, in fact I wanted to put on weight which I didn't manage to do contrary to the fact that I ate more than anyone else in the family. So now I feel totally liberated that I don't have the urge to eat every two hours. And I am thankful to Jessie for it.

Her tricks are well know from years in Italy. You eat too much pasta and bread and become fat and sleepy after lunch. So when we need to do some heavy works after lunch we give up to eat pasta and et some light stuff that depend on people. Also if you wanna loose weight in easy way we eat salada, meat/fish/egg and after pasta giving up bread. If you do this (exactly how she tell in book) you will loose weight not because of glucose level but because you get your stomach full of veggies and when will eat pasta you will eat few or nothing. Is a very old basic trick. Also the trick of vineager in water...you fiil your stomach with water so means less space for food, isn`t that vineager will eat carbs, is that you will eat less carbs. I can assure that if you eat a lot of vegs and less carbs you will loose weight...of course. About her trick of walking after meal...you eat 3 times at day without snack, if you walk 15 mins after every meal you will walk 45mins...so what is new?? but she tells that you will loose weight NOT because you walk every day almost 1 hour but because your muscle will burn the glucose in your blood after you eat. Isn`t aboout glucose, is about you are moving.

Someone just mentioned using the Glucose Goddess' methods. I didn't know the name but I saw an interview with her and she said nothing worth hearing that I hadn't already sussed out on my own. Which is to say, I already know if I eat something that causes me to feel more energetic it's a good idea to dance or get some work done. And, I lost a great deal of weight before by primarily just beginning each meal with a 1/2 or whole grapefruit OR salad or a vegetable dish, then moved on to eating a meal that i fit as much vegetables as I could into. And, I have never been one for eating a sweet breakfast if I could help it. Unless it is fruit, that is. That was long before I knew she existed. It wasn't enough. I tried using ACV and POM vinegar, white vinegar and rice vinegar. Having a little vinegar for flavor helps cut out some cravings, sometimes, but that's all the joy I got from it. I am just not sure how she is a "Goddess" and people think that she came up with something unique.

Also my mom told me years ago she got in the habit of eating a giant plate of vegetables before she ate the rest of her food that had nothing to do with science that had to do with she wanted to eat super healthy food first and then if she was too full to eat the bread or the other things that were questionable and Bread is not good for you has a dietitian you think bread is fine but it has been so overly processed is not the bread of our ancestors anymore or you can find it when is my mom had that method for Common Sense reasons and not scientific yes he is trying to fuse science with common sense and that makes her insanely approachable

I wanted to try this method, but I couldnt stand a salty breakfast. I just cant. I live my oats with banana.

[@amandamoab2657]

According to her method, you don’t actually have too. Including a savoury starter like scrambled eggs with tomatoes for example, before your oats with bananas, would be enough to get some benefits :)

[@sigridvanosch1990]

ACV might help. But I get it, you love your breakfast. :D

I understand your concern about a new trend potentially impacting people with eating disorders. However, that doesn't mean everyone can't benefit from learning about food and its impact on blood sugar levels. Jessie Inchauspé (Glucose Goddess) probably isn't suggesting a strict diet, but rather a way to sequence meals to optimize blood sugar control. Now, I wonder: is a higher blood sugar spike inherently bad? A grape might cause a higher spike than some foods, but it's definitely a healthier choice than chocolate due to its additional nutrients. You're right about needing research to back up claims. While I appreciate you not linking any, I can do my own research online. Here's a positive aspect of the Glucose Goddess approach: some people, like my friend who relies heavily on processed foods, might be motivated to include vegetables before their usual meals or even read food labels for the first time. So, what are your thoughts on these points? On a separate note, I've heard about iron deficiencies being more common in people of Irish descent. Do you have any advice on this?

[@michaelmccaffery8327]

Sorry but your view of Jessie Inchauspe’s information is way off the mark. Example, she said if she was at a party and was going to eat a piece of cake which she knows will spike her glucose since she has an empty stomach. What does she suggest? Do some quick exercise so when she eats the carbs, her muscles use them immediately due to the exercise. You interpret that intelligent hack, based on solid science, as encouraging eating disorder behaviors (!) Your entire review is filled with this nonsense. Encouraging physical activity as part of a healthier lifestyle is not an eating disorder behavior. People are going to eat a slice of cake at parties. Why not be intelligent about it. Are you going to tell someone not eat the cake? Fine, she didn’t recommend a person eat the cake at all. She used herself as an example and explained what she would do to blunt the carb effect. So instead of falling off the wagon and feeling guilty, a person knows they can take control and with some healthy physical activity, prove to themselves they are consciously addressing the situation. That should be applauded, not criticized.

Thinking of doing excercises at a Party because of eating a piece of cake is NOT healthy, it leads to disordered eating. I have Type 1 Diabetes and had to micromanage my glucose all my life - and it easily leads to disordered eating, this i backed up by a lot of studies. So If you have a fully working pancreas, just don't do it ...

[@LeilaJane]

I think there’s some truth in her messaging as in healthy eating and exercise which is kind of obvious… I mean duh… I just don’t like her fear mongering at the start of her messaging that glucose makes us ‘’cook’’ from the inside and therefore is somehow toxic. I don’t think that’s a helpful way of putting it.

[@yellow.marisa]

The glucose goddess method works for me 👌

[@BirdieHillFarm]

Thank you. Confirmed my intuition on this one.

[@thatirishdietitian]

Well done to your intuition 👏🏻👏🏻

[@bestintheworld4850]

Babe I wouldn’t be blunt but I’m using the anonimity of the internet, you shouldn’t be chubby if you are a nutritionist, women and simps may lie to you, but most people will find really hard to take your advice seriously, like imagine if a dentist has yellow teeth, that’s just my opinion you can do what you want still.

[@maevebrennan3316]

what a vile comment

[@simongarner5340]

Check your fat-phobia at the door. This is a very childish comment.

[@cloverlance7477]

I lost weight and feel better using her method. you should try it too and then criticized. your argument isnt valid

[@Pflarr1826]

You are just giving your opinion . Blah blah blah.

[@thatirishdietitian]

Thanks for boosting my engagement 🤗

[@sundareshvenugopal6575]

The proof of the pudding... . Never buy it, until you try it, of course always only, by, for & off yourself.

[@user-vl7lx6cv9b]

Hmmm you have no idea what you are talking about

[@pointbreak333]

try the method first.. than talk.

[@robtecau4963]

I tried it and it was complete garbage.
