Why a veggie starter is my #1 hack ?
Having a veggie starter is one of my all-time favorite glucose hacks. Here is how it works:
Before lunch or dinner, add a vegetable-based dish to the beginning of your meal. Then, eat the rest of your meal like you usually do.
The result? The fiber in the veggies will slow down the absorption of glucose molecules – so you get a smaller glucose spike whatever you eat! This means less inflammation, fewer cravings for dessert or sugar, healthier hormones, less hunger, happy gut, and all the other great benefits of steady glucose.
You should do this hack every single day.
But there is a problem: most veggie starters are boring.
Boiled broccoli or a sad side salad don't make anyone excited.
So these recipes are here to make it all better – simple to whip up and that will keep you and your family very excited to unlock the power of fiber.
P.S.: You don't have to wait any time between the veggie starter and the rest of the meal.

What is in the “50 Veggie Starter Recipes” pack?
You’ll get 50 fiber-rich veggie starter recipes designed to reduce the glucose spike of your lunch or dinner.

How do these veggie starters help balance glucose levels?
The fiber in vegetables creates a protective mesh in your gut that slows absorption of sugars and reduces the post-meal glucose spike. This hack helps flatten your glucose curve, reduce cravings, and support steadier glucose levels.
Are the recipes simple and realistic for everyday use?
Yes! Each recipe uses 6 ingredients or fewer and features pantry-friendly vegetables and seasonings. They’re designed to be fast, flavorful, and easy-to-make even for beginners !
When should I eat the veggie starter for best effect on blood sugar?
You can eat the veggie starter immediately before your meal (no waiting needed) or up to ~90 minutes before. The fiber still works to reduce the glucose absorption of your main dish.
Will these veggie starters reduce my cravings for dessert or snacks?
Yes because by reducing blood sugar spikes and keeping your glucose steadier throughout the meal, they help reduce hunger signals and sugar cravings afterward.
How many vegetables should I include in the starter to have an effect?
Aim for the veggie starter to fill about 30% of your plate (or about half the volume of your main dish). Even small portions help.
Can I combine veggie starters with the Anti-Spike supplement or other strategies?
Yes! Using the veggie starter hack plus tools like the Anti-Spike supplement gives layered protection, helping lower blood sugar spikes even more. Both tools used together lead to a synergistic approach to stabilizing your blood sugar.
Do I need to avoid all starches or sugars in the veggie starter?
Yes, to preserve the fiber effect, avoid starchy additions (like potatoes or bread) or added sugars in the dressing or veggie starter itself. The goal is pure fiber + small flavor touches. Keep the sugar for dessert !
Is this recipe pack suitable for people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes?
Yes. These recipes support healthy blood sugar levels and help reduce glucose spikes, which is especially valuable for those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes when used alongside medical guidance.
