The Glucose Goddess Method: The 4-Week Guide to Cutting Cravings, Getting Your Energy Back, and Feeling Amazing Hardcover – May 2, 2023

This book helped me a lot, I have given away 3 copies to friends as well. The ideas are easy to implement, and I feel much better when I follow her "rules." The book itself is beautiful (both the print & the kindle are great), with research that is helpful, fascinating, and at times surprising. The recipes are SO GOOD (my fave is the California Quesadilla). This is an EASY way to rebalance your insulin/blood sugar - and I'd imagine would really help anyone with weight issues too (although not my issue). Highly recommended!

I stumbled across the Glucose Goddess on You Tube. She is so smart and fun to listen to! So I bought the book. She offers a plan to reduce sugar and carb cravings while lowering the glucose spikes that they can cause. She offers the science behind why they work. The book is well written and the recipes are simple but tasty. I have taken several to gatherings, such as the beats with toasted hazelnuts and asparagus with peanut sauce, and people have enjoyed them. Actually asked that I bring them next time. I definitely feel better when I follow her reasonable tips. I highly recommend this book as well as her other book which provides more detailed information about the science.

I ordered this book because I really wanted to address my ongoing cravings to eat. And this 4-week plan was a great start to that.I've only made it through the first two weeks, because, well, life.First thing to know: when your glucose spikes, it will then drop very quickly and create food cravings... and not cravings for broccoli and celery, but for sugary and carbohydrate-loaded foods that will then spike your blood sugar and start the cycle all over again.So the first week offered me just what I was looking for: an explanation of why your glucose spikes and what foods cause it and how to eat a morning meal that will not cause your blood sugar (glucose) to spike and start a rollercoaster of spikes and cravings all throughout the day.The section covering the first week in the book gives you a ton, really A TON, of recipes to make your breakfasts fulfilling and nutritious, and to keep your blood sugar steady. Major win for me, because I had about 3 breakfast recipes I kept cycling through before and that got really monotonous.Many of the recipes are fairly quick to make, especially after you've made them a couple of times, like the No-Spike Granola in the first picture.The No-Spike Granola is also nice because it makes enough of the cinnamon-nuts-and-seeds granola that you have a little leftover. I just packed some in a lunch I took to an event I was working and it was a delight to crunch on with my apple slices.Some of them take a little longer, but yield a couple days' worth of meals, like the Cozy Quiche, which feeds my husband and me for a couple breakfasts. (I haven't tried feeding that to my son yet!)One drawback for me was the second week where you add vinegar to your regimen. I had no problem with adding it into my day, but I soon had intense acid indigestion going on. It will probably not be that way for you, but I already had a little problem with acid indigestion and this just multiplied it.So I am disappointed that I cannot do that, at this point, but I am keeping on with tackling the next two weeks of the program.I have not lost any weight, but just the addition of the new recipes into my breakfast menus has cut back on my snack cravings significantly.Just a note: I am also tackling the weight issue on other levels. I am having my thyroid checked (as recommended by my chiropractor), and I am doing grounding/root chakra guided (and non-guided) meditations, as well as a 5-senses self-care ritual daily. This has amplified my feeling of calm and I look forward to seeing these techniques' long-term effects.If you have any other techniques you have tried out, please respond to this review. I'd love to try them.

I'm really enjoying this book! The explanations and recipes are clear and concise and I already feel healthier for adopting this method. I would give it five stars but it's also full of testimonials and marketing, which I feel is appropriate on websites, in YouTube videos (which the author has a lot of and they're very informative) but not in a book. Unfortunately, each chapter begins with these testimonials "...from the community." Yeah, I really could do without those. The book also includes a workbook section for writing in your weekly accomplishments. I would prefer that as an accompanying pamphlet-type thing instead of it being part of the book. That way, I could easily photocopy it and reuse it over time, say a year or so. And it would feel like a gift too! Anyway, I do recommend this book for anyone who would like to feel better and improve their health without making massive changes to their daily routines and eating habits. Enjoy!

I'm on week 3 of the 4 weeks covered in this book, and I've really enjoyed it. Each section is a quick read, with a clear explanation of the WHY for each change, testimonials from people who have tried it, and recipes to help achieve each one! I like that the author doesn't push weight loss, but instead focuses on getting your glucose steady, which can help a number of things. Even just a few days in I was more aware of my sugar levels (I don't measure, just based on body awareness), and I like that this method helps kill the actual sugar cravings instead of asking you to brute force your way through them. By changing only one thing per week, it feels easy to start and maintain. I actually usually found myself adding the other steps when I didn't have to because it felt so simple! I will be getting her other book to continue this journey.

Great book for newbies like me. I read it and use it in combination with the workbook to get a better view on myself. Impressive results following the guidelines on how I eat versus going full Keto. The style of writing made what could be a dry read enjoyable.

This is the best book on the market for diabetes diet information. I have been recommending this book to all of the people whom I know have type ll Diabetes I tell everyone about this great book. Excellent seller.

She doesn’t share in this book anymore than she shares on her YouTube channel (for free). Good information though. Easy to follow.
