Protein-First Eating
Eating 30–40g of protein at the beginning of every meal, before carbohydrates. Developed by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and popularized by Jessie Inchauspé (Glucose Goddess). Preserves muscle mass, blunts glucose spikes by up to 40%, increases satiety, and sets the metabolic tone for the entire day.
Why this habit matters
- Physical: Reduces postprandial glucose spikes 30–40%, preserves muscle mass via leucine threshold, triggers natural GLP-1 for satiety.
- Productivity: Eliminates post-meal cognitive slumps; sustained energy and focus through meal-sequenced glucose management.
- Mental: Stable blood sugar prevents brain fog and mood crashes throughout the day; steady energy from fat metabolism.
