Hey there, fellow meat lovers! I've just finished reading a fascinating book that's been making waves in the health and nutrition world. It's called "Glucose Revolution" by Jessie Inchauspé. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Seb, you're a carnivore diet enthusiast. What are you doing reading a book about glucose?" Well, my friends, even a die-hard carnivore like me can't resist a good read, especially when it promises to revolutionize the way we think about food.

So, what's the deal with this "Glucose Revolution"? Well, the book is all about controlling your blood sugar levels. Inchauspé suggests that by managing our glucose spikes, we can lose weight, feel more energized, and even reduce our risk of diseases like diabetes. Sounds pretty good, right?

But here's the kicker: the book is not about cutting out carbs. Instead, it's about how you eat them. Inchauspé suggests eating in a specific order, adding certain ingredients to your meals, and even tweaking your breakfast to keep your glucose levels in check.

Now, I'm not about to start munching on a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast. But I have to admit, some of her tips are intriguing. For instance, she suggests eating vegetables before carbs, adding vinegar to your meals, and moving after eating to control glucose spikes.

But here's where I put on my Joe Rogan hat and ask the big question: "Can these tips work for someone on a carnivore diet?" After all, we carnivores don't exactly have a lot of carbs in our diet. In fact, we have none. Zilch. Nada.

So, what's a carnivore to do with this glucose revolution? Well, I think there are a few takeaways we can glean from Inchauspé's book. For one, it reinforces the importance of movement. Whether you're a carnivore, a vegan, or somewhere in between, moving after meals is a great way to boost your metabolism and keep your energy levels up.

Secondly, the book highlights the importance of mindful eating. Even though we carnivores aren't worrying about when to eat our veggies, we can still benefit from paying attention to how and when we eat. Are we eating because we're hungry, or because we're bored? Are we eating quickly, or taking the time to savour our food? These are questions worth asking, no matter what your diet looks like.

But let's not forget the most important question of all: "Can a carnivore enjoy a glucose revolution?" Well, I'm not about to start eating carbs anytime soon. But I have to admit, Inchauspé's book has given me some food for thought.

And who knows? Maybe one day, we'll see a carnivore's revolution that will turn the nutrition world on its head. Until then, I'll be here, steak in hand, ready to take on whatever comes my way.
