What This Journal Is For
Most of what determines how your body handles a meal has nothing to do with a supplement. Sleep, movement, the order you eat things in and what you had for breakfast all matter more, and every one of them is free.
These articles cover that ground first, and cover supplement labels second, because reading a panel properly is a skill that protects you in a category where a great deal of nonsense gets sold. GlycoAid is mentioned where it is relevant and left out where it is not.
Where To Start
- If you want one free thing to change today: the ten minute walk.
- If you want to change nothing and still get an effect: eating the plate in a different order.
- If your afternoons are the problem: breakfast decides the afternoon.
- If you are comparing supplements: how to read a panel properly.
