Why are we doing this veggies first thing? Well, recently scientists have discovered why it's so powerful. It's because veggies contain fiber. We love fiber. She's the best. When you have fiber at the beginning of a meal, what it does is that it coats your intestine. It makes a sort of protective barrier, this protective mesh, kind of gooey, fibrous mesh. And so any glucose you eat

afterwards will not be able to go through your intestine into your bloodstream so quickly. So it slows down the arrival of glucose into your blood and it slows down that spike. You can make the experiment if you're wearing a monitor. Just have a small plate of, you know, carrots or spinach or broccoli or cherry tomatoes or whatever veggie you like before a meal and see how much smaller

your glucose spike is. You stay fuller for longer, have fewer cravings, and you're helping your body from within too.
