Principlev1
Design low-glycemic meals around protein, fat, and fiber to
Design low-glycemic meals around protein, fat, and fiber to stabilize blood glucose across 2-3 hours, preventing the reactive hypoglycemia that degrades prefrontal function in the post-meal window.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Glucose-Cognition Dependency Threshold (glucose requirements for cognition) and Brain as Hierarchical Prediction Machine (prediction machine). The lesson documents that blood sugar volatility impairs executive function. The principle: meal composition should optimize for stability, not just adequacy, targeting the prefrontal cortex's fuel supply.
