Habit #46: Visualize Success (Live for May 27, 2026)

Eating Arugula First & My Blood Sugar

Most people think pizza and blood sugar spikes go hand in hand.

In this video, I tested what happened to my blood sugar when I ate arugula before pizza.

Arugula is a cruciferous vegetable rich in fiber and beneficial plant compounds that may help support a steadier glucose response after meals.

Small habits like adding vegetables before higher-carb meals can add up over time.

Have you ever noticed a difference in your energy, cravings, or blood sugar depending on what you eat first? 👇

Bok Choy & My Blood Sugar

I started eating bok choy because it was an easy cruciferous vegetable to add to stir fries.

What I didn't expect was how much it helped with bloating.

Bok choy tends to be gentler on digestion (same sulforaphane and detox benefits, less of the gas and discomfort some people experience with other cruciferous vegetables).

Why bok choy helps with bloating:

- High water content helps flush the digestive system
Contains glucosinolates that support liver detox and reduce inflammatory load in the gut
- Lower in the fermentable carbs (FODMAPs) that cause bloating in some people, making it one of the more gut-friendly cruciferous vegetables
- The fiber feeds beneficial bacteria without the gas-producing fermentation you sometimes get with broccoli or brussels sprouts

For anyone who wants the metabolic benefits of this food group but finds broccoli hard on their gut, this is worth trying.

Check it out below.

Cauliflower Rice & My Blood Sugar

One of the easiest ways to add a cruciferous vegetable to your day without thinking about it:

Cauliflower rice.

The sulforaphane, the fiber, the glucose benefits I talked about this week.

Broccoli First & My Blood Sugar

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli do a lot more than most people realize.

In this test, I ate broccoli before eating a Snickers bar to see how it impacted my blood sugar response.

This isn’t about encouraging candy or “canceling out” unhealthy foods.

It’s about showing how fiber, food order, and whole foods can influence glucose levels in real life.

Hope this helps reinforce this habit.
