Improve all areas of your health from your sleep, cravings, mood, energy, skin, weight, and even slow down aging, with "simple and accessible science-based hacks" (Michael Mosley, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fast Diet) to manage your blood sugar levels while still eating the foods you love.
Glucose, or blood sugar, is a tiny molecule in our body that has a huge impact on our health. It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat. Ninety percent of us suffer from too much glucose in our system—and most of us don't know it.
The symptoms? Cravings, fatigue, infertility, hormonal issues, acne, wrinkles. And over time, the development of conditions like type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cancer, dementia, and heart disease.
Drawing on cutting-edge science and her own pioneering research, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé offers ten simple, surprising hacks to help you balance your glucose levels and reverse your symptoms—without going on a diet or giving up the foods you love. For example:
-What small change to your breakfast will unlock energy and cut your cravings
-How eating foods in the right order will make you lose weight effortlessly
-What secret ingredient will allow you to eat dessert and still go into fat-burning mode
Both entertaining, informative, and packed with the latest scientific data, this book presents a new way to think about better health. Glucose Revolution is chock-full of tips that can drastically and immediately improve your life, whatever your dietary preferences.

Blood sugar takes center stage in biochemist Inchauspé’s clever guide to eating for “more energy, curbed cravings, better mood.” The author writes that glucose “affects how we feel instantaneously” and that keeping one’s levels flat ensures an “ideal cruising mode.” Readers will first learn about what glucose is, and its role as “parent” to the four carbohydrate siblings of starch, fiber, fructose, and sucrose. Inchauspé then gets into blood sugar spikes; the list of short-term and long-term effects are sobering, and include constant hunger, poor sleep, and heart disease. To achieve a consistent blood sugar level, the author shares 10 tips, including sipping a vinegar cocktail before meals and replacing sweet snacks with savory ones. Several “cheat sheets” round things out, offering solutions for handling cravings (wait 20 minutes before caving), choosing booze (wine and spirits are fine, but look out for sugary mixers), and making sense of food labels (there’s a helpful list of food manufacturers’ common names for sugar). Inchauspé shines in her desire to ensure readers have a good grasp on the facts behind diets, and in her ability to communicate it well: “I will stick to convention here... but as always, I wanted you to understand the science!” This intelligent survey offers plenty to savor.
