Stop Cravings, Get Your Energy Back, Feel Amazing. Glucose Revolution: the life-changing power of balancing your blood sugar
If you’re tired of mid-afternoon slumps, late-night sugar binges, and the emotional seesaw of highs and crashes, Jessie Inchauspé’s Glucose Revolution (aka the Glucose Goddess method) offers a surprisingly simple lens: flatten your blood-sugar curve and your body will thank you. Inchauspé, a biochemist who popularised real-time glucose tracking for people without diabetes, translates biochemical insight into small, practical “hacks” that help steady energy, reduce cravings, and improve mood.
The core idea is straightforward. After we eat, blood glucose usually rises and then falls sometimes rapidly. Those rapid spikes and dips trigger cravings, brain fog, irritability, and fatigue. Inchauspé argues that lowering both the height and frequency of these spikes (what she calls “flattening the curve”) brings immediate, noticeable benefits: steadier energy, fewer cravings, better sleep, and clearer thinking. This approach isn’t about restriction or calorie counting; it’s about changing the order and composition of what you already eat.
Her most accessible and evidence-backed tip is the “eat in the right order” hack: start your meal with fiber (salad or vegetables), then eat protein and healthy fats, and finish with starchy carbs or sweets. This simple sequencing slows the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream and can dramatically blunt post-meal spikes. Users who tried this while wearing continuous glucose monitors observed much smaller glucose surges.
Another favourite, easy to adopt, is vinegar before meals. A tablespoon of vinegar (or a vinaigrette) taken with water about 10–30 minutes before a high-carb meal reduces how quickly starches turn into glucose by virtue of acetic acid’s effect on digestion. Inchauspé recommends using vinegar in dressings or a diluted shot before meals to protect teeth and digestion. Combined with the order hack, it’s a low-effort way to feel less hungry afterward.
Movement is a third pillar. A short walk after eating helps muscle tissue take up glucose, lowering the post-meal spike. Even gentle activity, standing, pacing, or a ten-minute stroll, has measurable benefits and is far less restrictive than rigid diets.
Inchauspé’s approach has won enthusiastic followers and real-world results, but experts warn against obsessive monitoring continuous glucose monitors were designed for diabetes care, and data can provoke anxiety or misinterpretation if used without guidance. Use these hacks as gentle, sustainable changes to improve daily wellbeing, and consult a healthcare professional for medical concerns.
In short: if cravings and energy dips are running your life, the Glucose Revolution offers small, science-informed swaps eat your greens first, add protein and fat, try a splash of vinegar, and move after meals, that can flatten your glucose curve and restore steadier energy. Try one hack at a time; the wins are often immediate and motivating.
Want a quick cheat-sheet to get started? Begin tomorrow: have a vegetable starter at lunch, add an egg or cheese next, finish with your bread; take a spoon of vinegar in a glass of water before your evening pasta; and walk for 10 minutes after dinner. Small changes big difference. Check out Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspe, you wont be disappointed.
