•
Eating a fiber or vegetable 'starter' before a meal reduces glucose spikes by 40-50%
Inchauspé: eating a plate of vegetables or a fiber-rich food 10-15 minutes before a carbohydrate-heavy meal creates a viscous gel in the stomach that slows carbohydrate absorption, reducing the glucose spike by 40-50%.•
