If you’re a midlife woman dealing with energy crashes, stubborn weight gain, and cravings that come out of nowhere—you’re not alone.
Many women over 40, especially those of us who became moms later in life, feel like our metabolism is working against us. And the truth is, blood sugar balance plays a huge role in how we feel, think, and show up daily.
As an Integrative Health Practitioner (and a type 1.5 diabetic), I’ve tested dozens of approaches. But the one that created an immediate shift in my blood sugar, energy, and clarity?
What Is Macronutrient Sequencing?
It’s the order in which you eat your food:
- Fiber first (think veggies or chia pudding)
- Then fat and protein (like eggs, sausage, avocado)
- Save carbs for last (fruit, bread, waffles, etc.)
Why This Works (The Science of Macronutrient Sequencing for Blood Sugar)
- Fiber slows gastric emptying and creates a gel-like barrier in your gut, reducing glucose absorption.
- Fat and protein digest slowly and trigger incretin hormones, helping your body release insulin in a more controlled, gradual way.
- The result? A flatter glucose response. No crash. No intense cravings. Just steady energy and balanced hormones.
Real Results with Macronutrient Sequencing (From a Mom Managing Diabetes Without Insulin)
When I first tried this strategy, I used my Continuous Glucose Monitor to track the effects. The graphs were undeniable:
- Blood sugar spikes flattened
- Fewer cravings
- More stable moods
- Less post-meal fatigue
Even when I indulged (like waffles with keto syrup), pairing them with protein and fat made a massive difference.
Small Shifts, Big Impact with Micronutrient Sequencing
This isn’t about cutting carbs or going full keto. It’s about working with your body.
Simple swaps like:
- Adding eggs to the side of your smoothie breakfast
- Eating salad before pasta
- Pairing rice with salmon and avocado
Can dramatically improve your energy and metabolism.
