Some recommendations for managing [[Blood Sugar]] from [[Good Energy (book)]] author, Casey Means, in the book. 1. **Don't Eat "Naked Carbohydrates"** - carb-predominate foods eaten alone, like eating a single banana. Pair them with healthy protein, fats, and/or fiber. 2. **Sequence Meals for Optimal Metabolism by "Preloading" with Low-Glycemic Foods** - essentially save the breads and chips and other starchy foods for last 3. **Eat Earlier** - eating late causes worse blood sugar spikes 4. **Tighten the Eating Window** - use [[Intermittent Fasting]] 5. **Avoid Consuming Liquid Sugar** 6. **Add Fiber to All Meals** - slows digestion. Eat legumes, veggies, nuts and seeds, beans & avocados, lentils 7. **Use Food Adjuncts, Like Vinegar and Cinnamon, to Lower Glucose Responses** - these apparently help. 8. **Walk for at Least Fifteen Minutes After Meals** - help get your [[10,000 Steps]] and you apparently lower your spike 9. **Eat Mindfully and with Gratitude** - basically just eat slower Also, probably get a continuous [[Blood Sugar|glucose]] monitor because [[Feedback is Key to Learning]]. **** # More ## Source - [[Good Energy (book)]] ## Related - [[Glycemic Index]]
