Takeaways:
1. Start ur day with savoury breakfast ( never with any kind of sweet not even fruits)
2. Ear ur lunch & dinner in order of fibre protein fat carb dessert (if any)
3. Never eat ur carbs naked
4. Sugar cook your body from inside so avoid it almost
5. Before ur meal ( containg carb) drink vinegar in diluted form
6. Post eating always move your muscles ( even light excercises will do ) for atleast 10 mins
7. Lack of sleep puts extra exaggeration in body demanding for carbs and excess carbs lead to poor sleep. Do not fall in the vicious circle, avoid sugar particularly when u are out of sleep.
8. Avoid all forms of processed food even breakfast cereals
9. Whenever eating something for snacks like pastries or ice cream or chips or cookies to satisfy taste buds etc ( occasionally) always eat first some protein/fibre/fat/dahi/almond etc
10. Eating fruits after meals get fermented in body is an urban myth. Don't go by it. Infact it saves you from unhealthy dessert post meals. Feel free to eat whole fruits as dessert post meals.

Thanks J&J for amazing & informative podcast. Would be waiting for part 2.

I'm 31 and literally everyone at work thinks I'm 24. I started reducing sugar 10 years ago and it really does make a difference.

Thank you for this videoo! I just finished reading the book called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets by Rachel Morgan, thats how I got my routines in order and I know how modern industry was manipulating me for years

[nikkiallin]

I’ve been following her hacks for the last 5months. No calorie counting, no hard core workouts, etc. I’m 57 and I’ve lost 28 pounds, only using her hacks! I’m no longer pre-diabetic and have never felt better! I will follow her hacks until the day I die. Thank you Jessie!!!

[kristenrainey]

I love how passionate she is about the work she does. You can tell she lives by the values she teaches us and feels good inside her body.

I watched this video on Tuesday or Wednesday. I started implementing the hacks- savoury bf, apple cider in my salad before lunch, food order, no more oat milk cappuccinos, greek yoghurt before any sweets... and today, by Sunday, I haven't had a crazy sugar craving or drop in my energy (the contrary). I'm mindblown, and I'm obsessed with the Glucose Goddess. She should give talks at schools. I'm implementing these with my toddler (savoury breakfast and cutting down on sugars) to hopefully build good eating habits from the beginning. Thank you Jessie❤

“Symptoms are messages“ that’s powerful

[leegruver]

Around the age of 50 my father was told he had high blood sugar levels and had diabetes. He discovered that refined sugar and carbs were making him feel bad. He eliminated them and lived to be 100 with a good quality of life.

[ronnie]

For over four months, I've cut out all sugars and carbs, and I'm feeling so much better. I've lost 10kg.

[sweetov]

Addiction is a serious problem for alot of people who turn to food for comfort and boredom. Thank you for this video.

I am 42 years old and couldn't figure out why my hands and elbows ache, or why I feel so hungry after a meal or snack. My former manager introduced me to your book(glucose Goddess) this past January! Let me just say Thanks so much Jessie❤❤❤❤! I stepped out on faith asking God to guide me through your 4 week method. Not only has this method changed the way I eat my meals but also my aches and pains are gone. I know longer crave processed food. My cholesterol is in a normal range now and I am losing weight. I feel so much better. I am telling everyone I know about this method. It works!

[Jerry]

Been sugar & processed grain free for the past 12 months… I used. Used MCT oil to control sugar cravings first couple of weeks.
The most difficult part was getting others to stop trying to get me to eat crap at family gatherings. Like me stopping sugar somehow affected them. I stopped worrying about their feelings and just say no without trying to justify my choices.

[shanacavanah]

Amaizng video! I also had a back injury and didn’t know at the time that all the processed food was making my healing process difficult, slower and I was also very depressed. I found a few YouTubers who recommend same techniques as her and I healed my back. Cut out the processed foods, chips, sodas and eat Whole Foods and protein with each meal and watch how amazing your body feels and heals♥️ I absolutely loved this show!

[kathryncothern]

I am so thankful that my Polish Dad and Korean Mom taught me, in the 1970's, about real foods, nutrients, refined sugars, etc. and how it all affects the body and mind. It was at a common sense level back then, and now in modern day, science backs up that common sense knowledge. ❤

Keeping the body moving is beneficial for many reasons. 😊

What foods are selected is very important as well. 😊

Old school principles work so well for my body, heart, soul, and mind. Timeless and Priceless. ❤

[markispink]

I love how passionate and cheerful she is sharing this information. Making me less intimidated.
