My Glucose Glow

I wasn't looking for another diet. I wanted to understand a different way of eating.

I am Kisilda. I am 43 years old, and I spent most of my adult life trying diets, losing weight, gaining it back, and starting again.

For years, I thought the problem was my willpower.

On June 14, 2024, I stepped on the scale and saw 102.7 kg.

I had been putting it off for months.

That morning, instead of starting another diet, I started learning about glucose management.

I was curious whether I could change the way I ate, still enjoy the foods I loved, and make it something I could actually live with.

I began experimenting with what I was learning in my own everyday meals.

Within one week of adding a small salad before lunch, I noticed that my afternoon energy crash started to ease.

That was enough to keep me going.

I kept practicing the approach, adapting it to my real life, and learning what worked for me.

No gym membership.

No meal-prep routine.

No forbidden-food list.

Just small changes that gradually became the way I normally eat.

102.7 kg. The starting point.

My first change was a small salad before lunch.

Under 100 kg. For the first time in years, I was seeing the number move in a direction I wanted. People around me started noticing changes too.

93 kg. I was continuing to build meals differently and making the approach part of my normal routine.

78.7 kg. 24 kg gone. The habits I had been practicing had become part of how I normally ate.
