Jessie Inchauspé, author of the book “Glucose Revolution,” said one of the biggest mistakes people make is eating “naked carbs” — carbohydrates without protein, fat or fiber.
“A bowl of pasta is naked carbs,” she told The Guardian. “But if you add spinach, chicken and olive oil, you’re adding protein, fiber and fat, which slow down the speed at which the carbs are digested, and the glucose arrives in the bloodstream.”
