I watched an interesting video by a woman who specializes in natural reversal of diabetes. She pointed out how blood sugar spikes can be avoided through starting every meal with vegetables, followed by protein and finally carbs. The stomach will digest in that order. This stretches the carbs over a longer period, thus reducing or preventing blood sugar spikes.
No bread at the beginning of a meal! They offer it so you'll eat bread on an empty stomach, creating a sugar spike during the meal, and at the end you'll be craving more carbs. Dessert, anyone? Very profitable.
Most of her test subjects had dramatic improvement.
Its the soluble fiber that slows the absorption and blunts the spikes, this is why the sugar from fruits doesn't spike you the same way added sugar in juices and baked goods does. Also vegetables have carbs, they're more complex and slower to break down but anyone telling you that vegetables don't have carbs is unclear on what carbs actually are. All sugars are carbs, not all carbs are sugars.
That's not entirely true for example your stomach can send on liquids you drank after eating solid food while that solid food is still digesting and even if you space stuff out enough for that to be true they will not all move through your intestine in the same order. Your intestine is not just a plain pipe like people simplify it too, it's a living organ with multi-phase flow going through it (solids, liquids, and even gases) that can actually move those phases past one another and at different speeds. What comes out the other end is not in the exact same order that it went in.
