Put clothing on your carbs, meaning don't eat them alone.
There's some interesting studies on wine, and
and eating when you eat what in a meal and what that does to your weight and metabolism.
And everybody knows that if you are hungry and you have a glass of alcohol or wine or whatever, you'll feel a buzz.
But if you wait till halfway through the meal and then you have the same amount of wine, you don't get the rapidity of this buzz and you don't get the same spike.
So that's the idea.
You're trying to lower the glucose spike.
I think that's such an important thing that you just mentioned is the cravings.
Because a lot of people believe that this is just who they are.
I'm just like a sugar addict and I can't stop these cravings and there's nothing I can do about it.
I remember once teaching a workshop and it was on ultra metabolism in my first books.
And it was really about like balancing your blood sugar.
And we had a very specific diet we had for them.
And we had protein shakes and we had green juices that were not sugary.
And
broth and all that stuff.
And this woman, she's like, look, I'm going to try to do the program, but there's no way.
I'm like 50 years old.
This has been my whole life.
I've never been able to not have cravings.
