What can we learn from this? That we should transform all our pasta dishes into carbonara pasta? No, not exactly:
š we can learn that when we eat our pasta Ā«Ā nakedĀ Ā» (on its own), the glucose molecules in it will arrive really quickly into our blood stream, creating a glucose spike. This can lead to consequences.
š when we add Ā«Ā ClothingĀ Ā» to pasta (protein like chicken or cheese, fat like guanciale/bacon, fiber like spinach), we reduce the speed of arrival of the glucose molecules in our blood. The result: a smaller glucose spike
š the thing is, which Ā«Ā clothesĀ Ā» you add matters. If we just add tons of fat and cheese to make a carbonara, we do reduce the spike but it makes for a super heavy meal. If on the other hand we add chicken and spinach, we are reducing the spike while keeping the meal less heavy.
š So yes, add clothes to your carbs. But be mindful of which ones you add!

Let me know your thoughts in the comments, I canāt wait to hear from you!

Rice cakes are not a good snack for your glucose levels (and why they are recommended to people with diabetesā¦. I donāt get it!). Rice is starch, which means it turns to glucose when we digest it. So if you love rice cakes, make sure to add some clothes to them to reduce their spike āŗļø

What is nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast is an ingredient that is made from a type of deactivated yeast.
This special yeast is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Itās often used in vegan recipes because it tastes like cheese.
Research showed that a special fiber within nutritional yeast, called ābeta-glucanā, helps keep glucose levels balanced in individuals with or without diabetes.
Beta-glucans:
balance glucose levels by about 23%, and help insulin improve by about 22% after eating a meal*
provide a great source of protein (40-50%), which helps avoid glucose spikes
*Participants added 1.5 grams for every 30 grams of carbs to their dish.
š if you like it, add a spoonful or two of nutritonal yeast to your next dish!

To folllow up from my episode COFFEE & its Consequences - because I got so many questions about this: why do some people get a glucose spike from coffee and not others?
The science isnāt clear yet, but here are some clues:
š In some people, coffee causes more of a stress response (you may feel anxious, agitatedā¦), and in those bodies, it could lead to a glucose spike from the action of cortisol.
š but interestingly, coffee consumption is associated with long-term reduction of risk of type 2 diabetes. So these short term spikes might be outweighed by other long term effects.
Where Iāve landed is the following: if you donāt feel anxious from drinking coffee, it probably doesnāt create a spike in your body. And the type of milk you choose and whether or not you put coffee in it has a MUCH bigger impact on its effect on your glucose levels! So, avoid sugar, and avoid sweetened nut milks or oat milk if you want a smaller spike.
Thoughts? Let me know what you think.

Such a fun example of clothes on carbs! Just like grapes and cheese, melon and ham, beans and rice, peanut butter and jam is a classic food combination that tastes amazing AND is better for our glucose levels.
š Even if we keep the amount of jam on the toast the same, by adding peanut butter (make sure itās unsweetened!), you are adding protein and fat.
š Protein and fat slow down the glucose release of carbs (the jam and the toast are carbs)
š Therefore the glucose spike is smaller.
š Thatās the concept of āPutting clothes on your carbs!ā

Hey you. Yes you ! The person who drinks orange juice in the morning. Hereās the deal: whether itās freshly squeezed, or bought at the store, itās a MASSIVE amount of sugar in water that you give to your body. There are no good benefits of drinking orange juice, itās purely for pleasure. (Yes some vitamins but so much sugar that it does more harm than good). Think of it like *dessert*! Yes, itās a bit better to have a freshly squeezed one than a store bought one. But itās the better of two evils. They both cause very big glucose spikes and harmful side effects.
If you want:
š slower ageing
š less energy crash at 11am
š no sugar cravings throughout the day
š to reduce your risk of diabetes
š to help your brain stay healthy and not decline
Put. The. Orange. Juice. Down! And replace it with a whole orange if you love the taste. A whole orange still has all its fiber in it, so it will reduce the impact of the sugar on your body.
(PSā¦.. orange juice vs. Coca Cola test coming Wednesday!!)

All vinegars work, but avoid syrupy balsamic as it contains extra sugar. You can do a drink, a salad dressing, a tea (lots of recipes in my new book) and if youāre into vinegar pills- be warned that there are no studies on them so itās not sure they work. ā¤ļø

Iām really sorry that the food and beverage landscape is so disingenuous. Unfortunately all these companies just want to sell you their products, and they donāt have much regard for your health. Education is key! I have a whole chapter about how to spot marketing tricks in Glucose Revolution.
