Many people think cabs are the enemy…
But in this case?
👉 It wasn’t the pizza that hit hardest.
It was the cappuccino ☕️
Liquid carbs on a less-buffered system =
⚡️ faster spike
⚡️ sharper rise
⚡️ more of a crash after
Did the pizza still cause a spike?
👉 Yes.
But here’s the difference:
✨ It was slower
✨ It was more controlled
✨ It didn’t create the same sharp rise and drop
Why?
Because I didn’t eat it alone.
Before the pizza, I had:
✔️ Protein
✔️ Fiber (I love arugula salad and pumpkin seeds)
✔️ Fermented foods (sauerkraut)
✔️ Healthy fats (olive oil)
→ This created a metabolic buffer
🧠 The real lesson:
It’s not about no spike ❌
👉 It’s about a better spike
And that comes down to:
what you eat first.
💥 Try this:
Before carbs →
Have a few bites of protein, fiber, or fat first.
Even 5–10 minutes can change your response.
