Methods for better blood sugar control☀️
My 7-part method for better blood sugar control without cutting carbs or fasting for 20 hours.
Most blood sugar issues don’t show up as “diabetes” first.
They show up as:
→ 3 pm crashes
→ stubborn belly fat
→ brain fog in meetings
→ uncontrolled cravings
→ bloodwork drifting in the wrong direction
Stabilize blood sugar swings
Here’s how I stabilize blood sugar swings without turning my life upside down:
✅Drink water first thing. I drink water first thing (before coffee). Helps me stay fresh and control cortisol early.
✅Savory breakfast. I go savory for breakfast. Protein + fiber upfront = fewer cravings later.
✅Eat vegetables first. I eat veggies first at meals. Same meal, different order, smoother blood sugar curve.
✅No empty stomach sugar. I don’t do sugar on an empty stomach (if I eat at all). That’s when spikes and crashes hit hardest.
✅Dress your carbs. I “dress” my carbs. Carbs + protein/fat/fiber = steady energy.
✅90% real food. I follow a 90% real-food rule. Ultra-processed foods make control harder.
✅Move after eating. I move for 10 minutes after eating. Walk/stairs/elliptical = less spike, less crash.
Takeaway💪🏻
If you do this consistently for a week, you’ll feel the shift fast, starting with the energy.
Blood sugar control isn’t just about hustle.
It’s about sequence, structure, and repeatable moves.
