Glucose Revolution is an engaging and accessible deep dive into the impact of blood sugar on our health. With a mix of personal anecdotes, scientific studies, and practical tips, Inchauspé makes the case that balancing glucose levels is the key to improving energy, mood, weight management, and long-term health. She breaks down complex biochemical processes into simple, actionable steps—like eating food in a certain order, adding fiber, and taking a walk after meals—which makes the book feel approachable and easy to implement.
One of the book’s biggest strengths is how clearly and convincingly it presents its arguments. Inchauspé’s writing is engaging, and she does a great job making science feel practical rather than overwhelming. Her “glucose hacks” are framed as simple lifestyle tweaks rather than restrictive diets, which makes the book feel empowering rather than intimidating. For anyone struggling with energy crashes, cravings, or metabolic health, the strategies she shares are compelling and well worth trying.
That said, while Glucose Revolution is packed with interesting insights, it’s important to take some of its claims with a critical eye. The book presents glucose regulation as the central pillar of health, which, while valid to an extent, may oversimplify the broader picture. Some of the studies referenced are observational rather than clinical trials, and there’s still ongoing debate among scientists about how much glucose spikes alone contribute to long-term metabolic issues. While Inchauspé’s recommendations are largely based on sound nutritional principles, not all experts agree that glucose control is the single most important factor in weight management or disease prevention.
That being said, even if some of the science warrants further scrutiny, the practical takeaways are generally low-risk and can be beneficial for most people. The advice—such as eating more fiber, incorporating movement after meals, and being mindful of carb intake—aligns with well-accepted health principles, making it a solid guide for anyone looking to improve their eating habits.
Overall, Glucose Revolution is an enjoyable and informative read that offers a fresh perspective on nutrition and metabolic health. While some claims might be overstated or require more research, Inchauspé’s practical strategies are easy to follow and likely beneficial for many people. If you’re curious about blood sugar’s role in overall well-being and want actionable tips to experiment with, this book is a great place to start.

Eye opening and life changing advice to help regulate sugar spikes and insulin production! Loved the easy explanations and the meal suggestions ❤️
I would have been super convinced to follow Jessie and see what else she wrote anyway, but I felt that the amount of times the Glucose Goddess Instagram account was promoted created an opposite effect (it's okay to mention it and the community around it, but it was name dropped so frequently and presented like a miracle cure that it made me feel like I was reading a very long ad for this Instagram account

My family physician recommended this book to me to read. She said it had changed how she thought about glucose.
I had gone to her after waking up feeling jittery, nauseous, and hungry several times in the morning. My blood glucose tests were always normal, and she never worried about my being diabetic. But she had been monitoring her own blood glucose with a sample of a new monitor, and realized that she needed more carbs in her diet to get her though the night without her blood sugar going too low.
She gave me a sample of the monitor, and right away it warned that my glucose level was dipping way too low. It was time to address my diet.
This book takes readers through all the basics, fully illustrated, from how glucose is made to how the body uses it to how to maintain a healthy glucose level.
Many of the suggestions reflected how I usually ate, but it reinforced the importance of those habits, especially in light of what I had experienced.
The author suggests that eating fiber and protein snacks, salads before dinner and carbs last, and dessert right after a full meal will keep your glucose from spiking. And she shows how that spiking, up and down, is what damages your health.
The book offers suggestions for snacks, including one of my favorites, carrots and hummus. But she does not offer meal plans and recipes in this book. It is about understanding glucose, a theory book, and not a diet book.
After a lifetime of trying diets, I resist anything that promises remarkable results by eating certain foods a certain way. So I checked up on the author's belief that the order in which we eat food is important. She shares stories of people who have followed the advice in the book, and one woman deconstructed her tuna fish sandwich. She ate the lettuce and tuna before the bread. Really? Eating protein, carbs, and fiber with every bite seems fine to me. Yet there are some studies suggesting that eating carbs after fiber and protein controls glucose levels. The author also suggests taking vinegar helps control blood sugar, and offers recipes. I can put vinegar on my salads. It tasted quite good on tuna fish, too.
While I wore the glucose monitor, I maintained a good level with avoiding simple carbs, eating more carbs that were high fiber along with protein, and avoiding sugar. I then tried pushing it, eating chili followed by a big chocolate chip cookie. I discovered my glucose jumped up, not into the 'danger' zone, but over the thirty points the doctor said should be the limit of increase after eating. At a family gathering, we had sandwiches and salads and fruit and veggie tray and carrot cake. We ate the carrot cake a few hours after dinner, and afterwards I felt that low blood sugar lightheadedness come on. And yet neither nachos with beans and cheese and lettuce and tomatoes or a vegetarian, thin crust pizza affected me.
I look forward to talking to the doctor about this book's ideas.
