Got 10 Minutes? Let's Talk Glycemic Index
Danna wanted to talk about "glucose index." Megan corrected her and then proceeded to geek out for the next 10 minutes—and honestly, it was worth it. If you've ever been confused by the difference between glycemic index and glycemic load, wondered whether carbs are actually the enemy, or just been curious why that afternoon energy crash keeps hitting you like a truck, this one's for you.
Megan brings 17 years of diabetes care industry experience to the table, and the two break down what GI actually means, who really needs to pay attention to it, and why eating your bread last (with butter, obviously) is a perfectly valid life strategy.
What You'll Learn:
1. The difference between glycemic index and glycemic load—and why it matters
2. Why food order and combinations change everything
3. Who actually needs to think about this (hint: more people than you'd think)
4. What a CGM can reveal that no food app ever will
5. The visceral fat connection nobody talks about enough
That's your 10 minutes. Go eat something low-GI. Or don't. But maybe eat the salad first.
