Eat your fiber 🥦 first, protein 🥩 second, and carbs 🍚 last. This, my friend, is known as food sequencing. And yes, raw, steamed, cooked, frozen, and canned veggies are all OK. When you eat in this particular order fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar from other foods. How? Well, fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can’t digest and instead passes through the body undigested helping to blunt blood sugar spikes. The next time you eat always ask yourself “where’s my fiber?” Adding a side of cooked asparagus or a raw salad makes a difference.
