Glucose Revolution: The life-changing power of balancing your blood sugar Paperback – 31 Mar. 2022

Imagine stumbling upon a book that doesn’t just claim to change your life but actually has the credentials to back it up. That’s exactly what happened when I read "The Glucose Revolution" by Jessie Inchauspé.Jessica is a French biochemist whose exploration into the world of glucose led to this eye-opening read. Published in 2022, this book delves deep into the effects of glucose on our body, mind, and emotions. It’s all about the science behind glucose's impact and how we can mitigate its negative effects.Jessie Inchauspé isn’t just another author hopping on the latest trend; she’s a biochemist dedicated to this cause. Her expertise is clear, and she’s a knack of making complex scientific concepts about glucose accessible to everyone. The book systematically navigates through personal anecdotes, scientific breakthroughs, and practical advice, making it a comprehensive guide on dealing with glucose in our diets.What struck me the most was how the book balances its scientific depth with practicality. It's loaded with easy-to-implement tips that can significantly reduce glucose consumption and its effects. The author's personal journey adds a layer of authenticity and relatability, making the science not just understandable but also applicable.Critique-wise, I approached the book with a healthy dose of skepticism, as I do with any book proclaiming life-altering advice (actually, the proclamations cake from friends, not the book). However, Inchauspé’s thorough research and clear, layman's terms explanations left me without any substantial criticism. It’s rare to find a book that feels both pioneering in its field and yet so grounded and practical.The impact of "The Glucose Revolution" is broad and significant, offering invaluable insights and tips that I found immediately beneficial. From improving my focus to eliminating the dreaded afternoon slump (it’s actually gone - completely!) - the practical applications of Inchauspé’s advice have made a noticeable difference in my daily life.It’s a book I would confidently recommend to virtually anyone. Whether you're struggling with weight issues, mood swings, sleep problems, or just want to understand the role of glucose in your diet, this book has something for you.Reflecting on my personal journey with this book, it has taught me much more than just the science of glucose. It has practically shown me how to implement changes that have improved my wellbeing. I read it somewhat reluctantly at first, at the behest of my partner, but I’ve come to see its value far beyond its pages. It’s not just about knowing that too much sugar is bad; it’s about understanding the pervasive influence of glucose and how simple, yet powerful, it is to take control of its impact.As for my final thoughts, "The Glucose Revolution" isn't just another book on my shelf. It stands out as a potentially life-changing read and might just secure its spot in my top five books for 2024.For anyone who eats food, this book isn't just recommended; it's necessary.

Interesting and easy read, gets you thinking about how you eat and when.

Just a great book to read. It’s very informative and gives good tips for those who need to avoid a glucose crash. There’s a lot of science behind it so it’s an interesting read. No fad diets!

Liked: An easy read with non condescending scientific explanations. No extreme diets involved. Just food sequencing which makes sense and I’m guessing works. The concept is not new however.Disliked, or rather wasn’t impressed: Like many books of this type it could have been a quarter of the size. After the food sequencing concept the other hacks (don’t like ‘hacks!’ But thats my old age showing!) were a bit of padding. I started to feel that the book was heading for self promotion and this was validated when on page 128 there was the promotion of an ‘anti spike’ supplement which here in the UK costs just under £50.00.Frankly speaking this is pretty standard with these books. Michael Mosley did it as did Aseem Malhotra annd many others. And who can blame them. They have to make a living. But it doesn’t sit well with me. Fame and making a living can become quite blurred.A good book though and would I buy it again: Yes.

A good read! And good hacks. Recommended.

I bought this book after recent blood tests showed that I had raised glucose levels that suggested I may be diabetic. While waiting for the results of further tests I decided to educate myself about the condition itself, to research what glucose does to the body, and to see how I could help improve my health. By happy circumstance I came across The Glucose Revolution book. This book is really excellent because it explains complex science in such a simple yet engaging way that I could not turn the pages fast enough and, oh my goodness what an eye-opener it is. I have been following the advice contained within it for over a week now and I already feel the benefit of its approach. I'm amazed at how good my skin feels and that those issues with the IBS I've suffered from for years have disappeared. I have had no snack cravings either. I'm a 69 year old who was beginning to feel a wee bit past their sell-by date. However, thanks to the advice in this book, in this last week I feel better than I have for years. It may well transpire that I do have type 2 diabetes but now I have the knowledge and determination to deal with this accordingly. Thank you so much, Jessie Inchauspé.

Buy this book. It’s seriously good. Informative and easy to understand, also makes you laugh at times. Doesn’t preach and the hacks really work as there’s something for everyone to try. Game changer.
