My own list of low carbs: 1. Berries 2. Carrots + beetroot 3. Melons 4. Fruits in general before your every meal - apple / pears 5. Avoid smoothies and juices no matter how cheap they are 6. Ezekiel bread if you can tolerate wheat or gluten / Artisan Sourdough bread 7. Sweet potatoes + olive oil / butter with salt and pepper or sweet potato chips 8. Butternut squash / pumpkin 9. Quinoa / sprout mung beans 9. Soaked / Pressure cooked beans / lentils (to eminiate lectins & pour the water out) 10. Long grain white / brown / black rice
@@sassysandie2865. How big and sweet is your smoothie? Probably is too much carb loading in one feeding….would you want to take the time to sit and individually chew every piece of fruit/veggie that you pulse into that smoothie? The aeration of the ingredients also might be problematic. It’s a giant load….if it does NOT give you any gastric distress ( gas , belching, or bloating) then maybe it’s ok for you? If you’re getting any distress it’s probably too much carbs at once.
@@sassysandie2865 . I was initially thinking a typical “fruity” smoothie, but your description looks pretty good….if it makes you feel good after drinking it, then you know you’re doing the right thing 😎🤙🏼
There's no one-size-fits-all with diet and nutrition. I don't tolerate carbs OR plants. I went low carb, high fat carnivore over 2 1/2 years ago as a last resort, and after much reservation, in an attempt to end years of horrible mental AND physical suffering. It turned out to be the answer for me. I absolutely thrive eating nothing but meat, fish, and eggs. When I try and reintroduce vegetables and/or carbs I get a return of symptoms. I would list out everything that was wrong with me, what I tried before carnivore, and which things resolved on carnivore (pretty much everything), but it would be WAY too long. Just know that I was suffering so badly that I used to wish I just wouldn't wake up in the morning, and now I look forward to every day. I feel better at 52 than I have since my late 20s. Is this how everyone should eat? No. Is it how some people should eat? Absolutely. We all have to be our own N+1 and find out what works best for us.
Glad Ezekiel bread is on your list. I eat very little bread but occasionally like to make a sandwich and researched a “healthy” bread. Ezekiel was what I bought.
Baked sweet potatoes are great with pumpkin pie spice! Don’t need butter. I don’t add any oil or butter to foods because they add unnecessary high fat calories. Love my healthy carbs!
Kudos to you for encouraging a balanced diet. Kudos to you to support carbs. Ppl dont understand that carbs are converted to energy/fuel to move our bodies. The problem is, we dont move enough to burn the carbs and it can get converted into stored fat. There is a balance of food we should eat, and yes, some are better than others, but ultimately, a food in its most natural state w/o all the additives is good for us.
I don’t understand how you say white rice is good for you? But I do agree brown rice is not good you. I eat black rice two or three times a week. Enjoy watching you and thanks for information.
Quinoa Pasta & Red Lentil Pasta are really delicious 🍝 with turkey hamburger when making pasta dishes🍝 Enjoy everyone ✨️ Bon Appetite 🫶 Cheers to cooking 🎉 Awesome Video 👏
I did cut carbs for a year, and lost 40lbs, but living carb free is unsustainable! Perhaps just moderate portions I thought to myself, and lo and behold, it works. Kept off weight, and am enjoying carbs (within moderation) again!
That's the way to do it, great call!

You can still eat healthy with a limited budget. If you cook from scratch and stop buying / eating ultra processed food you will already save a lot and improve the quality of your meals a lot. You can buy food in bulk / cans or frozen. And you don’t need to eat meat everyday: veggie meals cost less. I’m experimenting with tofu,. If you grate it and then bake in the oven then put a sauce on it (Asian / Korean style) you can then make a “poke bowl” with rice + sautéed pakchoi + grated carrots or cucumber. You can also make a veggie chili or bolognese with lots of veggies and lentils. You can also make big salads (veggies = volume = not a lot of calories) with a little bit of meat or bacon for the taste. Change your paradigm: veggies first and meat as extra on the site (vs meat as the central piece of the meal). Change is always difficult with kids : alternate new recipes with proven ones. You can also use lentils to “extend” the meat. I made balls with 60% grounded chicken and 40% cooked lentils. It costs less / you get more fiber / less calories (lentils have 60 kcal per 100gr vs 120 kcal for chicken breasts)/ it goes unnoticed 😂 especially in a tomato sauce. Of course sauce and seasoning are important
No way 😊 I don’t eat organic. Wash well. Buy frozen! check out the frozen section, with fruit sometimes organic is cheaper. Eggs can be cheaper at farmers markets . But if you can’t do that then don’t do organic. I cannot help with meats because I don’t eat much at all. I eat more tofu. Get sourdough bread if you can’t do Ezekiel bread. It’s 6-7$ so I do sourdough if I eat bread at all. Hope this helps 💁🏻♀️
Yes it’s expensive. However, what I swapped out to afford it was go longer without a haircut, no false nails, no alcohol, plus really looking at what is more important. Fast food is expensive and terrible. I was there with a large family. Many other things to look at that are not necessary which I did not list. It can be done.
In January I started a very low carb keto diet. My main veggies are green leafy, brussels, broccoli, and cauliflower. Pretty much no fruits. I did lose 20 pounds by end of March but I have been on a plateau for a few weeks now. I also exercise several times weekly cardio and weight training. I am now wondering if my "lack" of colorful veggies are contributing to my weight not budging, I currently weight 170 and I am 5'3.5". I would like to get to 150 ultimately! Help!
I'm having a hard time losing weight I only lost so far 9 or 10 lb and I'm 300 lb for a 5'6 woman my name is Peggy Martinez I am doing so hard to do what you say to do and it's not coming off what am I doing wrong it must be the carbs so I'll try these cards out hopefully I will do better I've been 2 months trying to lose this way and all I've lost so far is 9 lb

Who said avoiding carbs is only about losing weight? There are some of us who need to avoid them because of insulin resistance. Good carbs still cause my glucose to elevate and stay up for a long time. I always ate healthy carbs.
You won't get sick with some good carbs since you probably have been a skinny man without women hormones. Women who are overweight and get over 40 gets hormones problems that makes them insulin resistance, so carbs ruins everything, maybe room for 20g carbs but I see it in my CGM how bad it can get.
Excellent question! With "good carbs" we are looking more for a complex variety, meaning it's a slower-burning carbohydrate that doesn't spike your blood sugar as much. Usually that means the food comes with a decent amount of fiber, i.e. sweet potatoes provide nutrients/fiber while sugar can have the same amount of carbs but 0 nutrients/fiber and provides a massive blood sugar spike.

Are canned organic beans pressure cooked during the canning process? So can rinsing them well mean that we can use them in recipes if we dont have time to pressure cook some ahead?
Thanks for writing in and great question! Eden Organics is a brand that has them ready to consume out of a can. It's not the end of the world if you have to eat them without pressure-cooking but if you remember, you can try soaking them overnight the night before, as a way to produce similar results. Best of luck! -The FMP Team
Great question! Sourdough is a healthy variety, especially if made at-home with the "mother". It has a lower blood-sugar response and tastes great too! But also don't forget to check the frozen section for Ezekiel bread as that is usually where it's located. Best of luck! -The FMP Team
Long-grain white rice doesn't increase blood sugar as much as traditional white rice. However, brown rice may be even less with its fiber content. However from a cleanliness POV, long-grain white may be better so it all depends what you are trying to get out of the carb. But all on this list can help keep blood sugar from spiking too much! -The FMP Team
Unfortunately, all carbs are not created equal especially for people with diabetes. Low carb is truly the way to overcome T2D and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I have not seen Ezekiel bread being sold in French Baker store near my place. I enjoy sweet potato but not potato. Quinoa is too expensive so I settle for brown rice. I am a diabetic and my concern is about foods that would spike my blood sugar. I think Basmati rice, a long grained white rice, is good.
Great question! The amount will vary, per individual and their specific needs but when following something as general like the Perfect Plate, you will find most women on our plan eating around 30-40g per meal. Hope that helps and best of luck! -The FMP Team
It’s freaking me out that so many foods on your list are high in oxalates..raspberries, sweet potatoes, quinoa, beans, legumes…not eating high oxalate foods!
Look up an article by Ross Bridgeford titled “The truth about oxolates, do we need to avoid these foods?” and realize that everything is about moderation….. What does your primary Physician say to you about eating these healthy fruits and vegetables for your particular health scenario? Unless you’re susceptible to high oxolate issues (kidney stones?) from eating normally you’re probably going to be fine…
