This book has a lot of useful information. I knew several already as is also connected to my moms field but it is always good to keep updating. I will for sure try some or all this tips and see how it goes for me.
Thought it was great - i was not familiar with the author before this, and a lot of the lower ranked reviews seemed like they knew much of the general info from following her work prior to this. I knew a bit of the “what” but not the “why” in terms of glucose spikes so i learned some new things. I’ve already recommended this book to two loved ones and am looking forward to testing out of few recommendations to see how they might impact energy levels and skin breakouts
I really liked this! I was between 3 and 4 stars for the rating.. rounded up.
Some of the tips were interesting and I definitely learned some things. I liked this better than a similar book I read a year or so ago. This wasn't a true 4 or 5 star for me because I thought some of the hacks felt a bit crazy (i.e. I'm not going into my work's bathroom after eating just to do a few squats.. lol). Still interesting to frame food and eating as fuel under the context of maintaining glucose curves & optimizing energy.

So much health information I did not know before discovering her Instagram account. Read. Yes even if you aren't diabetic.

Great book - good explanation of the science and good tips for implementation
I’ve read a lot of books on food, diet, gut health and fasting. This book has a simple and clear explanation of the science and easy tips to implement. I read it in about 5 hours and plan to start introducing the hacks. I can’t yet comment on whether they work, but they align with other information that I’ve read and I feel confident that they will work.

I read lots of books about health, obesity, diet and nutrition. I learn something from almost all of them. Even the most useless of them will contain one or two new insights, or sometimes ideas that I can put into practice. This book is different. Jessie Inchauspé, who runs a hugely popular Instagram account with just under one million followers, rushes through the issues of glucose and insulin spikes and straight to her ten “hacks” for keeping glucose spikes down, thus preventing (or reducing) weight gain, among other benefits. Some of those will be obvious — but many are not, which is why the book is particularly useful. I bought it because one of her hacks — going for a ten minute walk after a meal — was actually written up a few days ago in the New York Times. Others I’d never heard of or thought of (vinegar before a meal?). All of it is evidence-based and builds on the work of writers I admire, which is probably why the book has been endorsed by some of the smarter writers about these subjects including Dr Tim Spector and Dr Michael Mosley. Highly recommended.

I would advise anyone with an eating disorder to stay away from this book. It’s nothing ground breaking in terms of practical advice and some interesting but limited info about the metabolic processes, but I don’t think it’s worth the eating disorder triggers.
I like that it encourages to drop the calorie count, but it replaces this obsession with obsession over how each food choice will affect your glucose level. And most of us can’t monitor our glucose levels, so one can get even more obsessive over it without a feedback. *This banana is now going to cause a scary spike with its hidden fructose (which is even scarier than glucose), so I have to drink vinegar before eating it and then also do squats!* Sounds to me like standard triggers but repackaged.
Main takeaway: eat veggies (you will eat more of them if you eat them first), eat less processed food, have balanced meals, move more.
