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

The book was a quick read. Lots of helpful information for bringing down glucose spikes. The hacks seem like they are easily added to a person’s lifestyle. She offered so many delicious-looking recipes. I love her easy going attitude that helps people become motivated to try the hacks without adding more pressure to their lives. Really liked her book!

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.

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!

This is a great book filled with education, eye catching photos, creative recipe titles that show Jessie's personality and flair. I bough this book back in 2023, but didnt really use it until this past month. Learning a lot, and systemically trying each recipe. Using my Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitor to see how each recipe affects my body. One CON, The pages of the book are one by one coming loose, detaching from the binding. I am literally taping each page back into the book as each comes out. The publisher ought to have provided a better binding for this amazing book.

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 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.

I am so glad I bought this book. A co-worker recommended this to me. It helped me lose around 50 pounds and a lot of inches. This is the only thing that has worked for me in being able to eat healthy and lose weight the natural way. I use this way of eating now on a daily basis. Sometimes I get off track but I always go back to this method as it makes me feel better when I eat healthy.

I bought this book a long time ago and still have yet to really find a recipe that stood out to me. Nothing in it was really THAT unique. Some of the tips in it were good but I feel like I could have not bought a whole book, for what I actually used out of it.

Happy to follow simple steps and gain good results. Very Helpful Tips and easy to do anytime. Stress eating stopped.

Super nice book! We have learnt about Jessi through her YouTube podcasts. So this book came as a great help as recipes were included. The blurp says that most of us are stuck on a glucose rollercoaster & so it helps you to realise how detrimental it is for anyone's health in the long run. It tells you how to go through the four health hacks to reduce glucose levels after meals & has tips & reviews on each section to inspire you to look after your health. The author has been using data from her glucose monitor to illustrate scientific concepts & says you could wear one for yourself to see the results. I found the veggie starter section to be really helpful - filled with great ideas. We had only tried a couple of our own: For eg: frozen mix vegetables with fresh brocolli - Steaming it & adding condiments & Extra virgin olive oil when serving. It stores well & good value too. However, this book gives a great idea to add greek yogurt to veggie starters. I made one with tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce & olives mixed with a good share of greek yogurt, seasoning, EVOO & cumin powder. Another good value starter! More ideas: add Pepper, feta, quinoa & or corriander if parsley doesn't work for you. Whenever, I make a fresh batch of veggie starter, I want to add the proteins to it and make it into a meal. You could use chickpeas, beans, chicken, tuna etc & I think that's allowed! The book says having a veggie starter doesn't mean you can't also have veg with the rest of the meal. One thing that we do practice that isn't mentioned in the book is to drink the vinegar drink with a straw. Some health experts have highlighted that vinegar can damage the enamel so we take due precaution. Waking up to a savory breakfast. Again, great ideas - it took me some time to switch as used to toasts, scones & cereals. We now boil a batch of eggs to keep for a quick start to the mornings. Last but not least, switching to good habits can take time & some of us can take longer than others to incorporate all four hacks - but if you have the right mindset & realisation it will eventually fall through. It can be a game-changer. Great delivery. Thanks

Love this book, awesome writer

Interesting theory and easy to remember hacks based on science that has helped a lot of people . Love her very easy and useful recipes too.

I love Jessie. These are simple to make recipes. It is the first cookbook I've ordered (and there have been many) that has inspired me. Thank you
