Eat in the right order
Vegetables first, then protein and fat, and carbs last. In a small study, this gave a clearly lower blood sugar peak than the same meal eaten in reverse order (Shukla et al., 2015).

Four blood sugar hacks from the Glucose Goddess
01
02
Start with a green starter
A small salad or some vegetables before the meal puts fibre in your stomach before the rest of the food arrives, and dampens the blood sugar rise.
Biohacking diet → 03
Vinegar before the meal
A tablespoon of vinegar in a large glass of water before a carb-heavy meal. Small studies show lower blood sugar after the meal.
Weight loss → 04
Move after eating
A 10-minute walk after a meal lets your muscles use the glucose, so the peak is lower.
Exercise →Try this for a week
Pick one or two habits, try them for seven days, and notice how your energy and sugar cravings change through the afternoon.
- Eat your vegetables first at dinner
- Swap a sweet breakfast for a savoury one with protein
- Have a tablespoon of vinegar in water before your biggest meal
- Walk for 10 minutes after dinner
- Have sweets as dessert, not as a snack
