I have heard about this blood sugar hack from several sources. Jessie Inchauspe, a biochemist, highly recommended a specific order when eating meals in order to prevent sugar spikes.
“I started to implement this new habit in my daily routine as of today. I want to regulate my glucose levels on a regular basis. I also have been walking after lunch and/or dinner meals to regulate my sugar levels.”
The frequency of sugar spikes can be decreased when we eat our meals in a specific order by 75% of the time (Inchauspe, 2025). Chronic ‘sugar spikes’ may lead to premature aging, cardiovascular disease, cellular inflammation, cancer, cognitive impairment (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease) and other chronic illnesses.
My mother was diagnosed with cardiovascular issues (e.g., high blood pressure), Diabetes type 1, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and later on (late 60s or early 70s) she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. She recently died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 87.
I realized I was heading in the same direction due to my addiction to carbohydrates & sugars, maintaining a sedentary lifestyle, uncontrolled high blood pressure, high cholesterol/triglycerides, and sleeping disturbance. I now have an autoimmune condition.
Our bodies can heal with drastic changes in lifestyles including nutrition, improved sleeping patterns and movement. I am asymptomatic today; however, the glucose is still an issue.
The suggested order for meals will decrease sugar spikes, decrease cellular inflammation, decrease insulin release, decrease hormonal imbalances, increased energy, decreased fatigue and so forth.
Ideal order:
Eat vegetables first (e.g., broccoli, lettuce, carrots),
Second, eat protein & fats (e.g., chicken and avocado),
Thirds, eat the starches (e.g., brown rice),
Lastly, consume the sugars (e.g., plant-based dessert).
I have not been eating starches or sugars in the past 4 months since I’m working on decreasing my cholesterol and triglycerides level. I should get an update on my blood work in the next two days.
