Managing her blood sugar for Olive Turner was about embracing clean eating rather than only reducing sugar. She discovered that concentrating on complete, unprocessed foods helped her to stabilise her energy levels, lower cravings, and boost her general health without feeling deprived.
“I used to depend on packaged foods because they were handy, but they always left me feeling sluggish,” Olive explains. “Now I feel fantastic and eat actual, whole foods.”
Her morning consists in a basic meal of avocado and sautéed spinach topped with scrambled eggs. “Protein and good fats help keep my blood sugar steady in the morning,” she notes.
She likes a bowl of roasted vegetables topped with grilled chicken and quinoa lunch. “It’s packed with protein and fibre, which helps me stay full and avoid energy crashes,” she notes.
Dinner can call for baked salmon accompanied by steamed broccoli and cauliflower rice on a side. Olive notes, “Swapping out processed carbohydrates for fiber-rich vegetables makes all the difference.”
She also chooses raw almonds, hummus with sliced bell peppers, or Greek yoghurt with cinnamon and snacks sensibly. “These choices satisfy me without generating a sugar surge,” she explains.
Olive has noticed changes in her blood sugar, digestion, and general well-being after changing to a clean diet. “It’s about choosing foods that nourish my body, not about following tight rules,” she adds.
Her counsel: “First, one step at a time cut out processed meals and start reading labels. You will feel better the more entire, naturally occurring meals you consume.
Olive now savours her meals knowing they promote her health and help to control her blood sugar level.
