Pre load your sweets!
Same cake.
Completely different metabolic response.
The strategy is about what you consume BEFORE the sweet.
Day 1: amino acids (protein), pumpkin seeds (fibre, fat, protein), inositol (a nutrient that supports glucose-insulin sensitivity) BEFORE cake.
You can see a more stable line and less of a rise at 3pm. I stayed below 7.
Day 2: Just cake at 3pm. I rose above 8.
We are learning that when eating sugar on its own, your blood sugar rises fast…casing surge of insulin and then a crash or dip.
But when you pre-load with protein, fats, or fiber, you slow that entire process down.
→ less spike→ less crash→ better energy→ fewer cravings
Simple strategy:
Before something sweet, try:• protein (eggs, yogurt, amino acids)• healthy fats (nuts, seeds)• fiber (flax, veggies)
Try this and share your results.
***Also of note was this was a “healthier cake” made with almond flour, cacao and natural sugars. I’m sure my rise would have been higher in both graphs if it was a traditional cake. Bobette and Belle, here I come!
