Glucose Revolution

Three of the ideas you’ll keep

The Clif summary of Glucose Revolution pulls out 7 insights. Here are the first three.

1. A **glucose spike**, a rise of roughly 30 mg/dL within about an hour followed by a sharp crash, is the book's core unit of harm, and the crash, not the food itself, is what fires off cravings.
2. The goal is to **flatten your curve**, not eat less: a steadier, gentler glucose line beats a lower total intake, which is why Inchauspé insists this is 'not a diet.'
3. **Food order** is the flagship hack, fiber and vegetables first, protein and fat next, starches and sugars last, and the identical meal produces a dramatically flatter curve simply eaten in reverse.

The other 4 — and the full 11-minute summary — are in the app.
