We all love to indulge in some sweet treats once in a while, don’t we? But all the processed sugar, however, isn’t great for our bodies. Does that mean we deny ourselves the little joys of life? Not, really. A little bit of indulgence is good for the soul, if not for the body. So, the trick here is to understand how the sugar you eat affects your body. Is there a right time to enjoy that cookie or donut without sending your blood sugar on a roller coaster ride? There is!
According to Jessie Inchauspé, a French biochemist and bestselling author of Glucose Revolution and The Glucose Goddess Method, there is a better time to eat those ,with less impact on the body. Inchauspé, who goes by the name Glucose Goddess, has shared about the best time to eat sugar, in case you want to. She has a Master’s in biochemistry from Georgetown University, and teaches her 5.6 million followers on Instagram about transformative food habits.

The biochemist says that the best time to consume sugar is after a meal, not first thing in the morning or on an empty stomach. “If you really wanna eat some sugar, let’s say a cookie or donut or whatever, the best time to eat that sugar so that you have maximum dopamine from it, maximum pleasure and less impact on your body is gonna be after a meal as dessert,” she said, while appearing on Lewis Howes podcast.
