"Dr. Clyde’s biggest impact on my day-to-day diet and performance was his advice to eat a substantial amount of raw veggies before consuming more than 200 calories of carbohydrate. Eating the raw veggies (such as two big handfuls of fresh spinach or spring mix, a cup of sugar snap peas, or a big handful of purple cabbage, raw broccoli, or cauliflower slows down the body’s absorption of carbohydrates, keeping the blood sugar stable throughout the fueling process. I have found that I am leaner and have more constant energy with this practice."
