Maureen isn’t a doctor, nutritionist, or wellness guru. She’s just a 62-year-old mom of three who, after decades of trying to “eat clean” and still struggling with hunger and exhaustion, found something that worked.
“I was doing everything right — no soda, no fast food, no sweets… and I was still gaining weight, tired all the time, and hungry 24/7.”
That’s when Maureen discovered what she calls the real root of the issue: blood sugar confusion.
She now swears by a list of 7 foods — all grocery store staples — that helped her rebalance her blood sugar, calm the cravings, and finally lose the stubborn weight that had clung to her since her 40s.
Let’s take a look…
Blood Sugar-Friendly Food #7 (Best Root): Jicama
Jicama is crunchy, slightly sweet, and loaded with inulin — a prebiotic fiber shown to support insulin sensitivity and reduce appetite.
Maureen’s tip: Dice and toss into salads for texture and blood sugar support. About $0.40/serving.
Blood Sugar-Friendly Food #6 (Best Spice): Ceylon Cinnamon
This natural spice may reduce insulin resistance and slow down the absorption of sugar in your bloodstream.
Tip: Add 1/2 tsp to your coffee or oatmeal each morning.
Blood Sugar-Friendly Food #5 (Best Ferment): Sauerkraut
Fermented foods help balance gut bacteria — which scientists now know plays a major role in metabolic health and glucose stability.
Tip: A forkful a day goes a long way. Look for unpasteurized in the refrigerated section.
Blood Sugar-Friendly Food #4 (Best Bean): Black Soybeans
Higher in protein, fiber, and antioxidants than traditional beans — and with a much lower glycemic impact.
Tip: Rinse and add to tacos, salads, or chili. One can = several servings.
Blood Sugar-Friendly Food #3 (Best Berry): Raspberries
Rich in fiber and polyphenols that may blunt post-meal glucose spikes. Plus, they're delicious and low in sugar.
Tip: Eat fresh, frozen, or blended into smoothies.
Blood Sugar-Friendly Food #2 (Best Protein): Pasture-Raised Eggs
High-quality protein helps keep blood sugar steady and hunger hormones in check.
Tip: 2 boiled eggs in the morning = no crash at 10 a.m.
Blood Sugar-Friendly Food #1 (Best Wildcard): Green Bananas
They contain resistant starch, a special fiber that improves insulin sensitivity and feeds healthy gut bacteria — all without spiking sugar.
Tip: Slice into yogurt or blend into smoothies. Slightly underripe is ideal.
Let me guess…
You’ve tried cutting sugar. You’ve tried eating “clean.” You’ve even tried skipping meals. And yet the cravings, the fatigue, the stubborn weight—it’s still there.
You’re not making it up. You’re not doing it wrong. Your body is just stuck in a blood sugar loop it can’t escape on its own.
That’s what happened to me. And once I figured out how to break that loop—everything changed.
There’s a short video that explains the simple blood sugar fix that helped me reset my metabolism, tame my appetite, and feel like myself again.
If you’re tired of feeling dismissed, this is for you.
