1. Fruit juice 2. Bagels 3. Pasta 4. Potatoes/sweet potatoes 5. Chocolate Mitigate blood sugar spikes by going on a walk after meals, or pairing carbs with fiber (vegetables/roughage) and protein.
Great video Bobby. Speaking of dark Chocolate. Did you see the Consumer Report story on the toxins in most Dark Chocolates? Can you do a video on which Dark Chocolates are cleaner? Thanks. Keep up the great vids.
This is one of the best videos you have done. Do more like this please. I am pre-diabetic and I am trying to find out what to buy to keep my blood sugar low.
Maybe check it Dr berg too? He's helped a ton of people reverse their pre diabetes and I really like him. He's not for everyone but he gives great science backed advice like Bobby.
Appreciate the diabetic video! Would like more videos like this one! Whether diabetic or not, blood sugar is good to watch. I’ve figured out the carb/sweet potato, steak, & salad. Have refrigerated my sweet potatoes for a half week at a time. This really does work! ❤
While the regular bagels certainly didn't help, the glucose spike from Bobby's breakfast was mostly attributed to the OJ he drank - immediate blood absorption all at once. Everyone should read Dr. Peter Attia's Outlive book if you're interested in learning more from a doctor who really understands biochemistry from foods. Dr. Attia also did a great podcast with Dr. Robert Lustig on this subject.
Man your content is so educational, keep it up. You have helped me to keep expanding on which ingredients to avoid. I usually do 18-23 hours of fasting, do cardio, resistance training and hard labor in a fasted state. While i break my fast with dinner which will feed from Plant-Based, Fruits, Roots, Fats, Nuts and the only animal protein i eat are just eggs. Please keep it up.
The keto diet could cause low blood pressure, kidney stones, constipation, nutrient deficiencies and an increased risk of heart disease. Strict diets like keto could also cause social isolation or disordered eating. Keto is not safe for those with any conditions involving their pancreas, liver, thyroid or gallbladder. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that can induce weight loss and improvement in glycemic control, but poses a risk of inducing hyperlipidemia, elevation of liver enzymes and onset of fatty liver disease.
🤦♀️ arrggg! Yet another RU-vidr pushing CGM on non diabetics. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars if you are not a diabetic to monitor your glucose and watch for spikes. Use common sense, limit sugar and carbs but don’t be afraid of fluctuations in glucose levels which is normal.
Hi Bobby, there are people like Dr. Paul Saladino and others saying a spike in your blood sugar is normal and good for the body. Especially if you workout. There's some interesting science behind it that he and others go into about it.
The blood sugar spike is only ideal after a session of heavy lifting to force glycogen into the depleted muscle cell. Other than that it's certainly not good, just look around at the average American for the proof that it's not good
People look at me like I’m crazy when I say my type1 diabetic daughter really shouldn’t have natural sugars… it’s still just sugar yall - I’ll show you the drastic spike in glucose to prove it!
Yep! You are not crazy though. Sugar is sugar is sugar if you are looking to avoid spikes. Added sugar is basically poison for all of us 🤷🏼♀ And… I’ve learned a lot with a type 1 kid as well.. having a type1 kid, removes all the BS I hear so many folks talking about regarding what spikes and you can remove the fiber sugar blah blah blah..nah, it’s just the total sugar…errr carbs. No subtracting because those total carbohydrates will still spike that business!
I recently switched to monk fruit-based sweeteners and started making desserts with them. I'm loving the taste and the fact that it's a low-calorie, natural alternative to sugar. It all feels too good to be true for me. Can you share your thoughts on the safety and best practices for using monk fruit sweeteners in everyday cooking baking ? I feel like im consuming it rather more than you would normally go about eating regular sweetners just because its low in calories?
I don't think people usually add jelly to their bagels. I wonder what his blood sugar would have been with just the bagel and cream cheese (as well as the eggs) or even with a bagel and egg sandwich, no cream cheese. Also I wonder at what time after eating is blood sugar the highest usually?
I have gestational diabetes while pregnant and have learned a lot about blood sugar spikes. Tricky thing about GD is my carb needs are fairly high for baby so I can’t go keto. The only way for me to meet my carb needs while avoiding spikes is eating only whole wheat grains, and pairing them with fat, proteins, and fiber. Insulin resistance is worse in the morning so breakfast and lunch tend to be tougher than dinner. Exercise or any movement after eating helps mitigate blood sugar spikes too. Fruit is usually a no for me but I do tolerate berries very well (high in fiber).
Just read end of diabetes by Dr. Fuhrman chapter 10 and you’ll learn everything you need to know about what to eat and how to control your gestational diabetes.
Very interesting information! I hope you can do more of these. I am very very curious about sprouted grain bread. That would be a really great test. Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford your/or one of these glucose monitoring subs/devices as I am battling the Pre-d and have autoimmune thyroiditis.
These continuous glucose monitors are around $200/month if you are not diabetic. Its not affordable if you are not type 1, type 2, or insulin dependent.
Why does this matter?? If you produce insulin then your good, i don’t get why wear a CGM, foods will ALWAYS increase your sugars but that’s why we have a pancreas!
One of the best ways to injure your heart is with blood sugar spikes. Yes your pancreas will eventually give you enough insulin to handle it but sustained high Bg levels cause your body to become insulin resistant . This damages all parts of your body 😊
Hi Bobby, switch the monitor to your left arm and you will see your glucose levels will be different than on your right arm. Even finger pricks are different between your right hand and your left hand. In fact, it will change even between fingers. Only really accurate glucose test is a blood draw at a lab. I test the same fingers on both my right and left hand and rarely do they agree. One will be higher than the other hand. John in Ohio
I was testing multiple strips from the same finger blood and getting 3 different numbers. The lack of accuracy lost my confidence. maybe I'll try again.
Yea, first thing people say is ask your doctor, good luck with that. The dr will say hmmm here's a script pay the lady on your way out. John in Ohio @jedaholmberg3211
If you are diabetic I would recommend if you can have fruit have the whole fruit and then I would choose grapes. Red grapes have so much fiber. Also you can ration them better.
@@theoriginalbridgetconnors I did hear him and I watched the video through its entirety. I was speaking to those that are diabetic and found this video. I know not everything effects diabetics all the same way. Some can have fruit and others cannot. Some can have small amounts of carbs while others cannot. It was just a suggestion for those who can eat fruit. Be blessed always!! 🥰
This fascinating! I'd be curious to see more meals with your glucose meter testing results! I'd love to also see glucose results with common kid meals!!!
Thank you for this video, while I think it still needs to lean a little more keto, I'm happy to see you are addressing this. Besides focus & clarity, there are so many harmful bodily processes that happen from eating sugar. Look at how unhealthy our society is getting to be. You're on the right track. Keep it up!!!!!!
Lol Bobby. You are Soo addictive! I find myself looking at a food in the store, and whispering, BUT IS THIS BOBBY APPROVED?!? 😂 Thank You for your informative videos Beans and Rice and Jesus Christ 📖
Another great video! It seems that we know most of this already, but Bobby does a wonderful job explaining it in terms we can all understand. And I love that he's willing to experiment with the CGM to show us the results.
Sadly not me......Just 3 years ago I learned what a calorie was at 40 years old and then after immediately dropped close to 100 pounds from 290 to 185 and now I'm learning sugar and carbs moderation.........apparently I'm missing the post sticky notes and infomercials about my health or maybe it's common sense that I just don't have sadly but slowly and surely bits and pieces of health information is trickling down to me THANKFULLY 😊
@@knowledgeseeker4116congratulations on your weight loss and on gaining more and more knowledge all the time. It's ok to not know something - as they say, ignorance is curable! It's just sad when we stop learning new things. If you are learning, you are growing, and that's good! Keep on growing like the rest of us. I wish you continued success on your journey!
Thank you Bobby for this video! Being Type 2 Diabetes, this is helpful, especially since I follow you! My daughter also turned me on to the Glucose Goddess. A total game changer!
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
Have you experimented with Parboiled white rice? It's essentially regular white rice that undergoes a steaming process prior to drying. This method is believed to help it retain more nutrients and, even more importantly, avoid causing rapid spikes in your glucose levels. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you!
Not sure that fruit sugar is better than cane sugar. According to Dr. Ken Berry, fructose from fruit is 7 times more glycating than table sugar. Also, I don't know if CGM's record fructose. an A1C test does not register glycation from fructose.
Great video. Thanks for making it and thanks for sharing it. People will keep eating sugar and spike their glucose to the day the doctor diagnoses them with diabetes. Sugar is as addictive as crack and Food Inc USA will keep adding it to their food-like products because it tastes and sells better. The Glucose Queen rocks.
for people with diabetes 0:36 wearing a glucose monitor is not fun. It is necessary . A better word would be interesting or enlightening. Also it would be better to use people first language, people with diabetes not diabetics. Love your channel
Great video sir. Being we are all different It's up to each individual to do their own research and experimenting which food groups spike insulin levels. I have been doing this keeping my sugar level low and have lost over 40 lbs. I am not diabetic but I have been following Frank Suarez in the Spanish community. Frank's contribution was the impact of insulin spikes and the effects of metabolism.
Thank you. Gave me a lot to think about ... One of your best videos. Concise and to the point, relatively short, and a smaller sales pitch. Appreciate that!
Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences. There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese. What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications. Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks. Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods
Unless you're diabetic or in a serious health condition then the CGM is needed to watch out your insulin through the day. It's not a good idea to wear the monitor permanently under skin if you have a normal healthy blood glucose level. Your BG fluctuate constantly no matter what you eat or even in fasting mode. If you're prediabetic (I was ) the best is doing finger pricking. 1) more accurate 2) save you a lot of money. Check with your insurance you may get a free kit. My doctor prescribed me the monitor unlimited test strips and lancets Free until now even i am back to normal in the 80s before bed and morning wake up. My doctor disagree with using CMG when you're not in real trouble. It causes you more stress for constantly checking the readings. I see a lot people at pool, gym obsessed with it and constantly focus on the reading results. It's trendy like the smart phone that everyone nowadays glueing to the screen everywhere. Having the CGM is like having 2 cell phones to keep your mind busy all day, even when you wake up in the middle of the night for bathroom!!!!!! Save money and save your brain. Ask your doctor for a free kit if you're diabetic or prediabetic. And prick your finger 3 times a day. No pain and no marks.
You never mentioned that following your results would help with weight loss. Is that just because that wasn’t your focus? Is it true that you can experience weight loss with fewer spikes in blood glucose. This was such an informative video. Thank you so much!
The most discouraging thing thing is it is significantly more expensive to eat healthy - especially for a family of 6 and I have to watch everything with diabetes. It's having to often buy seperate things I can eat vs what my fmaily will eat .
type 2 diabetic here. you never mentioned barley as an alternative to pasta and rice. It has a low glycemic index and is high in fiber. Thank you for telling me about the glucose monitor. It looks very handy. Thank you for the other tips, very helpful.
Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based. Go vegan for the animals. Go vegan for the planet. Go vegan and be healthier and happier. A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals. Eating healthy is not a diet it is a healthy life style.
Try a green smoothie you make at home, and add some chia seeds or flax seeds. It's very satisfying. I use Betty Rocker Berry Vanilla Protein Powder and mix with unsweetened nut milk and throw in the blender. Super easy, tastes good and when I add the seeds it fills me up for a few hours
i am getting an EGM and i am on carnivore... i mainly wanna watch what the few carbs i get from a few sauces i use cause any spikes i am not aware of... or if differnt kinds of means cause a spike due to too much protien..i really wanna dial it in. to see if i really need to go full LION carnivore or not
Thank-you for the info, I know we are all different but it’s nice to learn how your body responds to certain products. Not all of us could afford to wear one of those monitors, so thanks for the video, hope there is more.
Oh man .. this was one of the best vids from you . Real time blood sugar ... I really needed to see this .. kinda knew it but now I know for sure .. major changes I'm going to make . Thank you Bobby for doing this .
Do NOT make a purchase at Flav City - the smoothies taste nasty from the Stevia, and Flav City does not stand behind their products. The flavor is awful and they don't offer any refunds. Basically - they don't care if you are dissatisfied. So they just lost a customer, a follower, and fan. I am encouraging everyone I know to avoid Flav City and spend their money elsewhere!
Bobby, have you tried what happen to your glucose level after consuming 1 serving size of your protein powder? Would you share to the result? Thank you.
Love your videoes! Have you tried drinking 1 tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar 20 min before eating? I've read that this helps the sugar absorb into your muscles faster instead of staying in your blood.
Contrary to popular belief there is not one single piece of evidence that says "breakfast is the most important meal of the day". If there is please provide a link. People with a damaged metabolism often awaken with elevated blood sugar and insulin levels before eating anything. They do better prolonged fasting with a 20-4 fasting or an omad diet. Neither of which includes "the most important meal of the day".
Glucose monitors are a scam. Short term blood glucose spikes are not necessarily bad. It is prolonged and frequent spikes that are the problem. Low glycemic foods are different from the portrayed ultra processed foods "..fiber when present in the human diet is its ability to reduce the rate of absorption of glucose after consumption of high glycemic carbohydrate-containing foods".
Hope you stopped tapioca flour.. don eat that and check your label for sugar.. most of the time you advised your followers up to 14g suger in the label I don’t think you have exactly the knowledge to share…
I saw a video by Dr. Jason Fung and he mentioned that pairing carbs with a protein and a fermented and/or acidic food also helps neutralize carbs. Would like to see you do a video on that. Maybe salads with no sugar dressing with vinegar base or a Squeeze or lemon or lime.
And this is exactly the reason I could no longer get my Libre monitor filled at the pharmacy, then switched to the G6 and now the G7. I hate that non diabetes are using glucose monitors and diabetics are having trouble filling prescriptions for medical devices and medications.
I'd love you to do an episode in the UK. You don't realise how lucky you guys are with all the keto options, in an average UK supermarket you are stuffed
I’m on a journey To lose weight but I’m trying to lose weight on basically eating all the food groups and it appears as if you still can have some of your favorite carbs like whole wheat pasta’s or whole wheat breads if you pair it with high fiber vegetables and proteins and taking a walk which is good news since I don’t want to get rid of all of the carbs.
I bet if you mixed that Mac and cheese with some chicken or fish or some other type of meat that blood glucose probably wouldn’t spike as high. Of course it also depends on the amount you eat too.
