If you love your pasta, rice bowls, or smoothies but struggle with energy crashes or cravings after eating, you’re not alone. These symptoms often stem from rapid spikes and drops in blood sugar - a common effect of carbohydrate-heavy meals. The good news? You don’t need to cut carbs to stay balanced. You just need to pair them smarter - with fibre and healthy fats.
🌾 Fibre: Slowing the Glucose Surge
Carbs break down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream and raises your blood sugar. But when glucose enters too quickly, it can trigger a sharp insulin response and lead to energy dips and cravings.
Fibre slows this process down, resulting in:
- Gradual blood sugar rises
- Longer-lasting fullness
- Fewer cravings and energy crashes
Bestow Gut Love + is a powerful source of both soluble and insoluble fibre, designed to support not only digestion and elimination, but also metabolic and hormonal balance. It’s easy to take - just mix into water, smoothies, or porridge - and it blends seamlessly into your day.
🥑 Healthy Fats: The Blood Sugar Buffer
Just like fibre, healthy fats help slow digestion, meaning glucose enters your bloodstream more gradually. They also help blunt insulin spikes, promote satiety, and support stable energy levels.
One of our favourite fat sources is Bestow Beauty Plus Oil - a blend of cold-pressed, skin- and metabolism-friendly oils. When used consistently, it can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by up to 30%, especially after carb-rich meals.
🔄 Fibre + Fat = Blood Sugar Stability
When you combine both fibre and healthy fats with your meals, you create the perfect buffer. You’ll feel fuller, more energised, and less likely to experience that post-meal slump.
✅ The Takeaway
You don’t have to fear carbs. With the right additions - fibre from Bestow Gut Love + and healthy fats from Bestow Beauty Plus Oil - you can enjoy your favourite foods without the blood sugar rollercoaster.
Eat smarter. Stay balanced. Feel better - from the inside out.
