A nurse came to our office to place the device on the four of us who had volunteered. We were waiting for her in a glass conference room; then we literally rolled up our sleeves. After cleaning the back of my left arm with an alcohol-soaked cotton pad, the nurse placed an applicator on my skin. She told me she would insert a needle and introduce a tiny three-millimeter fiber (an electrode) under my skin. Then the needle would be removed, leaving the fiber in place and a sticky transmitter on top of it. It would stay there for two weeks. One, two... click! The monitor was in—and it was almost painless. The sensor needed sixty minutes to start, but then, with my mobile phone, I could check my glucose levels at any time. The numbers showed me how my body responded to what I ate (or didn’t eat) and how I moved (or didn’t move). I was getting messages from inside. Hello, body!
TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR NUTRITION, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH, AND LIVE BETTER.
Let's make a fresh start when it comes to our nutrition. For decades, we have mistakenly focused on reducing fat and calories, while the real problem stemmed from foods that disrupt our blood sugar levels.
In an accessible and straightforward yet deeply human approach, biochemist Jessie Insoospe explains why spikes in our blood glucose are so harmful and how to flatten them in order to improve our health.
By analyzing decades of research and conducting thousands of experiments on herself using a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor), she has condensed her findings into 10 simple and disruptive tips that can easily be implemented in our daily lives.
Upon completing this book, you will realize how food affects your body. You will learn:
- what to eat for breakfast to avoid cravings throughout the day;
- the order in which to eat what’s on your plate to lose weight;
- what not to eat when your stomach is empty;
- which foods cause mood swings;
- how to avoid afternoon drowsiness.
