Why eating Veggies First works (the science)

Vegetables are rich in fiber, which plays a key role in balancing blood sugar:

1. Fiber creates a protective “mesh” in your digestive tract, slowing down the absorption of glucose from carbs.

2. It slows gastric emptying, so food leaves your stomach more gradually.

3. It boosts GLP‑1, the satiety hormone, which helps you feel full and stabilizes glucose levels.

Studies have shown time and time again that eating vegetables first can lower post‑meal glucose and insulin levels in both healthy people and those with type 2 diabetes.

Get helpful tips on how to do this easily here:

One of the most important ways to eat in order to support our mental health is to keep blood sugar stable!

Tip #2: Skip the calories, focus on the ratio
First things first, you can skip right past the Calories line. Yes, it’s the biggest line, because that’s what manufacturers want you to focus on the most. But the molecules matter more than the calories. And in the Nutrition Facts, the molecules inside of a food are spelled out for all to see, if you know where to look.

Look at these lines:

Total carbohydrates
Dietary fiber

When assessing dry foods (like cookies, pasta, bread, cereal, cereal bars, crackers, chips, etc.), the grams next to Total Carbohydrate and Total Sugars represent the molecules that cause a glucose spike: starches and sugars.
