I love your vlogs. You have really helped me with my diabetes. After months of being in the 300s and feeling terrible, I am now eating right and exercising daily for Two hours at the gym. My blood sugar is now between 80 and 140 and I have never felt or looked better. I am very grateful for your advice and hope you continue to be healthy and successful. Thank you❤
The best habit I got now is watching you and seeing what spikes your levels. I got a Glucose monitor and it has educated me what spikes my levels. I went cold turkey in a couple of days.
Great advice. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I'm having hard time adjusting to changing my diet. Your videos are helping me understand how all this works. Thank you
I use BLE(Bright Line Eating) no processed flour, no sugar, 3 meals a day, 20 Oz of vegetables (half for lunch, half for dinner, 3, 4 Oz proteins, one at each meal, 1 fat at lunch and 1 at dinner. Fruit with breakfast and lunch .Lots of water. We eat well, both have lost weight.
I found BLE to be super restrictive. It is great it worked for you, but if you eat out or like to cook much variety or eat at anyone else’s house without a food scale it is unrealistic.
I switched to keto in January of 2019. I ❤️ cooking and learning about new recipes. I'm now growing most of my vegetables and fruits. I weaned off of 4 insulin shots, two types of insulin within 6 weeks. Within a year I weaned off of all heart/blood pressure medications and all psychiatric medications. I also lost 70 ponds and have kept it off. I usually eat one meal per day and. Occasionally I'll have a snack of pork rinds and peanut butter. I'll add cocoa powder, stevia, erythritol and/or allulose, and a few different oils like macadamia, olive oil and toasted sesame seed oil. Sometimes, I'll add walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds.
Thank you. I don't have diabetes or prediabetes, but up to 80% of us still get blood sugar spikes. A bullet may miss, but a shotgun cartridge may not. What I mean is that a combination of methods is surely better than only one. So, I have learned to take a spoon of vinegar in water within 30 minutes before eating. Rinse mouth to protect tooth enamel afterwards. Then eat veggies first, protein second and carbohydrates last. Some 30 minutes after a meal I do 40 squats, 40 push ups and 40 pull-ups on a 45-degree machine I have. Or I just run on the spot (stationary running) for a few minutes sometimes instead. I also add some very simple accupressure moves that are featured for diabetics here on RU-vid by a Japanese lady. RU-vid search 'accupressure diabetes' to find it. Feeling better and better. Stay positive and beat this into remission.
@Jennieadams1979 people do not realise that a lot of veg has been modified over the years to contain more carbs for taste. sprouts when we was kids was bitter as hell! now they are sweet! humans are not supposed to eat plants! the political elite want you to be happy with your rice and your plants so you do not complain that you cant affords the meat like the elites eat! sad to see so many sheeple fall for it! they lower the cholesterol limits and push statins onto you! its all a con!
No white carbs!!! The rest just portions I have reverse Type 2 diebetes For carbs 1/4 of any beans 1/3 sweet potatoes 🍠 wild rice , 20 minutes exercise chair exercise or go for a good walk. The key is 1/2 a avocado 🥑 a day to protect the heart nerves, and prevent strokes. I started fasting and exercising that did it !!
50 g of carbs per day works for me. Not so low that I feel deprived but low enough to normalize my blood glucose and lost 27 pounds since April of this year.
@@xenaburg2362meat, cheeses, nuts, low sugar fruit like blueberries watermelon etc, Advocados, eggs, herring/sardines, unsweetened tea with stevia sweetener that doesn’t have erythitol, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach, extra virgin olive oil, Advocado oil, no seed oils like canola etc. Your body will absolutely love you if you consistently eat this way!
One of the best Channel on RU-vid! No Bullshit, no stupid talking, no screaming People, no cracy Musik. Thanks for your Time, and for your Work you put in her👍 Greetings from Germany Michael
I tried going vegan, vegetarian even tried keto. I finally admitted I am a sugar addict whether it is fructose, sucrose or glucose or fruit or veg, if it was sweet it became a gateway drug to sugar. I have landed on the Carnivore lifestyle, blood sugar is steady at 5.1mmol/L, and I have never ever felt better. I'm no longer insulin resistant/pre-diabetic, plus all my inflammation has vastly improved. I'm now off all meds. Works for me and I am good with it. I miss vegetables especially fruit but my health is more important to me. I hope people find a diet or lifestyle that works for them.
I had to go mostly meat-based too. And meat is my least favorite food lol but it's what I tolerate best. I believe it may be possible to be able to eat normal foods again if the oral microbiome is corrected over time, I'm testing the theory now and I guess we'll see how it goes. I know that an imbalanced oral microbiome can cause diabetes, mouthwash for example kills our good bacteria which are needed for important functions involving insulin and circulation etc!
@@sharonsanders1658 no breakfast. Have brunch and stop eating after 6pm. Eat proteins and salads first then consume 200gms of carbs/ day and of course no sugars from now on, no beer no sodas. Go for a 30 mins walk and in 3 months you will be normal.
Asfter being under the supervision of medical specialist in body metabolism for 6 months I learned so much abd I can honestly say this is the best content I have seen on weight loss and insulin. There are so many people giving out bad advice. This is spot and it works!!👏
Thank you for doing these videos. Never diagnosed, but I know I am insulin resistant. It’s awesome to understand how I can manage it better. I rarely get the extreme mid day fatigue anymore because I eat a more balanced lunch.
I'm tired all the time many years Dr said lm chronic fatigue but maybe it's insulin ..l got 2 hr fasting done and it was 106 pmol anyone know if high??
I bought the Signos CGM package. My second day on. Very informative so far, still evaluating it! Observations so far: 1) Elevated Glucose Readings - but within the range - 15-20 minutes before waking up. Including every time, I'm awakened to use the restroom at night. 2) Healthy Keto meal (carbs < 20 grams) hardly noticeable spike of Glucose at all. 3) Early dinner matters a lot! 4) Walking exercise elevates blood sugar - but still within normal range. They call that a healthy stress on the body. 5) However, eating Health Keto meal AFTER a walk keeps the blood sugar elevated and the glucose spike exceeds normal range, for short time. 6) The meter logging allows you to record only ONE exercise event. So, if you walk morning an evening... you're out of luck. Very satisfied, for now. Still exploring.
More protein is best through meats, it burns fat a nd keeps you full. Along with meats eat fruits, veggies aren't as important as fruit, but eat meat, steaks, chicken, pork, fish, Shrimp, Lobsters, clams that are steamed and other seafood. Walking is a great exercise swinging arms helps arm muscles and circulation.
You can do it cold turkey but if you can’t and you have pretty much eaten what you want all the time; best advice that I can give someone would be to slowly chip away at the things that you know aren’t good for you. Try not having one type of thing or reducing it. For example, if you love soda you don’t have to stop drinking it but try to reduce it by half then to say one time a week then a year later one time a month and if you can a couple times a year. Other foods you can find alternative replacements. For example if You like having white bread all the time try a half white half wheat bread the whole wheat or something other than white and eventually over the months and years you will find you don’t want any white anymore or just once in a while for a treat. Same goes for sweets at night. Reduce, replace and treat once every three months. It takes years but chip away one at a time. Never all at once. Be patient with you body and your mind but always try every year to work on something. Addiction of food a sugar is no joke. Eventually after many years it will be so much easier to cut sugar out almost completely but because you’ve cut out or changed all these other things you’ll be more ready for it. The worst thing you can do is stop everything all at once because what you’re gonna do is want to go back to everything once you’ve lost the weight which is great but you’ll just continue to gain weight again. Keep moving forward and learning be patient with yourself and work to improve when you are ready.
Thank you. You've been so helpful. I drove myself to anxiety trying to do the right things for myself. I believe I'm on the right track now. Keep the information coming. 😊
I went Keto to Ketovore. Now I'm mostly Carnivore but I still like a salad with my steak once in a while. It was easy to stick to like Who doesn't like Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs??? Took my A1C from 12.5 to 5.7 in 9months. I've maintained an A1C of 5.5 for a year now. Pork Rinds are my Go to for cravings. I Sprinkle some cinnamon and stevia on them and it's like cinnamon toast crunch. 😂😂👍
First off there is no amount of water that can make me forget about a doughnut Lolol I drink a lot of water and the thought of them never leave my mind
@@insulinresistant1 The trouble I have with "fiber makes me feel full" is that you don't need to "feel" full. You need to "be" full of all the nutrients your body needs. No other animal eats fiber to "feel full". They eat as long as they are hungry. If that doesn't work, it just means it's the wrong food.
Wow excellent explanation I completely understand and agreed your suggest. I myself diabetics for 15 yrs .but not on medication. Coz I carefully intake more veggies and mix of fruits less sugar. 😊
Exactly thank you so very much for your Vital Information I've been a blessing I am trying to taper off of sweets so I stay prayerful cut back quite a bit, a whole shake with only last Me 3 days now whole cake would last me a month because I put slices in the freezer and I'm blessed by the Lord Jesus to say one slice will take me a whole day to eat because I don't want to eat it all at once.😅 so every other day I will have a slice of cake😊😅❤
I love this video! It makes more sense than most others that go on and on and I forget most of it! This one I won’t. Vegetables above ground….but not onions I would think. Thanks so much
Thanks for the great information! I love veggies of all stripes, so this is helpful! I've already lost 25 pounds this year. What I want to do now is reduce even further the visceral fat at my midriff. You'll no doubt be hearing more from me, as I am on a self-improvement campaign at age 80! I'm in decent shape, but I want to increase my physical strength, as well. If you have ideas, I hope they will show up in your videos! Thanks!
Great advice! ❤ your videos have helped me so much. Finally feel ing healthy and understanding my foods. Why i offten felt so.. bad or ready to passout.
Absolutely. Tried many of them and yet ketone does suit me as I see my body moving forward to who I used to be in high school. Now.i feel sharp and blood sugar drop tremendously from 15 down to 7, yet it is still on its way down to 6 and 5
A little tid bit that has helped me , I try to never “drink” calories, stick to water , black coffee, and once in awhile I sneak a Coke Zero in there 👍🏻
New subscriber here. Would you be able to try Grilled Pork Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich) and let us know results? As you might’ve guessed, yes I’m Vietnamese and I have grilled pork sandwiches at least 4 times a week during late afternoon lunch time, with Vietnamese coffee.
This is a lifestyle change not a diet so decide if this is for you! Eating more fat with protein is the answer. Getting your body into adipose ketosis is what will stabilize your blood sugar. Vegetables makes no difference but will keep you feeling full but are unnecessary.. I've bedn doing this for almost a month and I have lost 22 pounds of fat.. I consume 20 carbs or less a day and my blood surgars are below 100 60% of the time during a 24 hour period. Also I eat once a day so that my body will burn the pudding around my waist as its source of energy. When started I was 272 lbs. now I'm 250.8 lbs. I'm wearing shirts now that haven't worn in 15 years and jeans as well. Yes call this intermitten fasting but it works!
December 1 2023 I lowers all cabs (as much as possible) Started eating protein and cruciferous vegtables I lost 19 pounds feel good. My next thing to quit is the wine (I love wine) I love this guy.
Low carb for life. Lots of cabbage, green beans, spinach, celery, chicken, fish, some cheese, whole grain bread, walnuts, eggs, and gotta have bacon, green tea, water, etc.
Just to add. Its important to call out 'Ultra Processed Foods 'UPF's' as these are typically high in sugars, refined carbohydrates and a long list of preservatives and chemicals to enhance flavors. Its a good idea to take a diary for two weeks, anything that passes your lips goes in the diary, this can help you ID the areas you might want to change. Generally speaking ideally your intake of UPF is zero, but IF UPF's are about 5%, 10% of your tot consumption of foods that should have little impact. There are excellent peer studies that show the impact of consuming UPF's and how they contribute to cancers, cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety, IBS, gut issues, inflammation. Its no one type of EPF, its the combined consumption of EPF's. Knowledge is power
I got told I was just about pre diabetic, but I also have CKD. I think the CKD may well be because of the high BG, so, I have cut out ALMOST all bread (I home bake) and all cakes and pastries. I started having Chia seed pudding with fruit for breakfast. Otherwise unsweetened. I'm eating lean chicken in small portions (too much protein is a no no for CKD) and lots of veg. A small amount of cheese. My treat is 3 squares of Valour almond chocolate after dinner (which is about 30g, but half of that is almonds!). Fasting BG down in 3 weeks to 80 from 113. I probably need more protein because I am resistance training too, every day. This isn't a diet, it is a life change.
These videos are VERY helpful. You usually indicate a spike by percentage. Can you tell is where your blood sugar is in the 100s form? i.e. 120, 175, etc.?
I had an A1c of 8.1 and was on metformin medications, I still couldn't control the carb and sugar cravings, my A1c dropped to 7.1 and i went cold turkey on a 100 hour water fast and then on a straight meat salt and water diet for the next 8 days, then Keto for aother 8 days, after that went to lower carbs and minimal processed foods. In those 20 days i broke my sigar cravings. After that I learned about LMNT Electrolytes and took the water diet to 8 days and then lower carb meas with a cheat day a week. My A1c dropped to 6.0 and I gained a tonne of lean muscle. Look up 100 hours no food on RU-vid. It has broken my insulin resistance and I have had my cholesterol, LP(a), triglycerides and testosterone checked as well as a CT heart scan and I came our completely healthy with zero plaque
