Ever wonder if simply changing the order of the foods you eat could boost your energy, balance your blood sugar, and even support weight loss?
On today’s show, I’m breaking down the science—and the 6,000-year-old Ayurvedic wisdom—behind “meal sequencing” and why what you eat first, second, and last can make a major difference in your metabolism.
I’ll go over the optimal order to “layer” your foods, how fiber, protein, and healthy fats work together to stabilize blood sugar, and why fruit and starches should be strategically timed.
Join me on Cabral Concept 3484 to learn the surprising science of food ordering and why eating the food on your plate in a certain order is better for your energy, digestion, and long-term health.
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
Show Highlights & Big Takeaways
1. Meal Order Matters Starting with fiber (like raw veggies or salad) before protein, healthy fats, and then starches can help balance blood sugar, improve digestion, and support weight loss.
2. Bio-Individuality Is Key Different people respond differently to carbohydrate timing. Continuous glucose monitors and careful observation can reveal how your body reacts to specific food orders.
3. Lasting Change Takes Time Significant improvements in metabolic health and blood sugar control require consistency over 12–16 weeks, as cell membranes and red blood cells regenerate slowly.
