Her message?
The fitness industry lied to you. Fat loss isn´t just about calories. It´s about blood sugar levels.
Here are her top 7 cheat codes to master them for fat loss: 🧵
Many fitness influencers only focusing on calories in - calories out completely ignore HOW your body processes food
Your blood sugar levels affect everything relating to fat loss like:
- Hunger
- Cortisol
- Cravings
- Inflammation
- Energy levels
- Insulin resistance.
If all of these factors about your health are messed up, it will be MUCH harder to lose fat.
Plus, even if you´re in calorie deficit...
A diet leading to higher blood sugar levels and spikes is still bad for your health.
So here´s how to have healthy blood sugar levels:
1. Don´t think a food is healthy just because it´s "Vegan".
Vegan products can be extremely high in carbs and sugar with the natural animal fats replaced with inflammatory fake seed oils...
Always check the nutrition label and ingredients list.
2. Eat your food in the right order.
The order you eat the protein, carbs, fats and veggies in your meal massively affects the glucose spike you get...
Eventhough you´re still consuming the same number of calories.
3. Choose fruit over processed sugar.
They´re not the same.
Fruit contains many other substances like:
- Fiber
- Vitamins
- Enzymes
- Antioxidants
Which change how your body processes the sugar in it.
Eating fruit will help you satisfy your sugar cravings too.
4. Be mindful of glucose spikes.
When blood sugar spikes rapidly, your pancreas floods your system with insulin - the fat storage hormone.
This hormone literally tells your body to convert glucose to body fat.
You also get a blood sugar crash later...
5. Drink vinegar before meals.
Sounds strange but it works.
It causes your muscles to absorb more glucose from your blood and it slows carb digestion.
Here´s how:
6. Skip the sugar bomb breakfast.
Cereals and pastries flood your system with glucose.
This creates a massive insulin response that puts your body in fat storage mode for hours and then leads to a crash later.
A protein-rich breakfast keeps glucose and energy levels steady.
7. Be mindful of fruit juice.
It´s marketed as "healthy" because it´s fruit and has vitamins...
But it actually spikes your blood sugar just like coca cola.
Turning fruit into juice removes the fiber so it´s digested much faster.
Jessie Inchauspé´s top 7 hacks for healthy blood sugar levels:
- Avoid glucose spikes
- Don´t drink fruit juice
- Protein-rich breakfast
- Eat veg in your meals first
- Drink vinegar before meals
- Don´t eat high-sugar vegan food
- Choose fruit over processed sugar.
