Master Your Blood Sugar Levels with These 5 Simple Hacks
Feb 05, 2025
Are you tired of feeling tired all the time? Do you find yourself reaching for that afternoon coffee (or chocolate) just to make it through the day? You're not alone. Many women struggle with fluctuating energy and cravings that seem to come out of nowhere.
What if I told you that the key to unlocking more energy and stable moods is right at your fingertips? It's all about mastering your blood sugar. When balanced, you'll feel more focused, experience fewer cravings, and even sleep better.
I've got 5 game-changing easy hacks that'll help you do just that. Let's dive in!
1. Make Your First Meal Savoury
Ditch the sugary cereals and pastries please! It's the worst way to start your day, if it's 7am or 1pm. A savoury first meal of the day is your new best friend. Think eggs with avocado, Greek yoghurt with nuts, or even leftover dinner veggies. These protein-packed options keep your blood sugar steady and your energy high all morning.
2. Embrace the Fibre First Approach
Before diving into your main meal, start with fibre-rich foods. A small salad, some crunchy veggies, or a handful of nuts can work wonders. Fibre slows down digestion, preventing those annoying blood sugar spikes. Plus, it keeps you feeling full and satisfied.
3. The Vinegar Trick
Here's a little secret: did you know that a tablespoon of vinegar 10 minutes before meals can help lower your blood sugar response? Mix some apple cider vinegar (or any vinegar) with water and swig it back. It's a simple hack that packs a powerful punch. Don't like vinegar? Put it in a salad dressing.
4. Clothe Your Carbs
Love your carbs but worried about the sugar spike? Here's the trick: pair them with protein, fat, or fibre. It's like giving your carbs a cozy blanket that slows down their journey into your bloodstream. Try these combos:
- Bread? Add avocado or nut butter
- Biscuits or cookies? Enjoy with a few almonds.
- Cake? Have it with a dollop of greek unsweetened yoghurt on the side
This simple hack reduces blood sugar spikes, curbs cravings, and helps you naturally eat less processed food. Win-win! This is me enjoying some of my daughters birthday cake covered in greek yoghurt!
5. Embrace the Power of Fasting
Intermittent fasting isn't just a fad – its science backed and a powerful tool for blood sugar control. Even short fasting periods can improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate your glucose levels by switching you over into your fat burning mode. Start small, maybe with a 12-hour overnight fast, and see how you feel.
Remember, small changes can lead to big results. Implementing these hacks consistently can help you take charge of your health and feel amazing every day.
