What a Reversing Diabetes Dietitian eats for LUNCH 

Damn. That's a lot of rice. I thought she was meal prepping. lol

That’s too much rice for even a non diabetic person

I’m diabetic and any type of rice will spike my sugar the carbs outweigh the fiber. Only way i can hve it is if i have a rlly small portion. I would also like to note the importance as a dietitian to know that everyone’s bodies react differently to certain carbohydrates.

I'm sure you have good intentions but everything about this is awful. Please dont tell diabetics to eat THAT MUCH rice in one sitting. And as a big fan of tofu, I am appalled at the idea of eating it raw, unseasoned, then microwaved....NOOOOOOO!!!! 🤢

Who are you fooling,?? That brown rice will spike sugar.

This is what I’ve learned from my research: 1). Fiber (both soluble & insoluble) will help you feel more satiated longer. Fiber also help delay glucose absorption by allowing the food to go further down the intestinal tract. Fiber is food for the bacteria in our digestive system. By feeding them the good stuff, the bacteria will help us. 2). Portion matters. Ideally, more fiber from veggies, less in protein, and even less in carbohydrates like rice, pasta, potatoes, etc. 3). Order of food eaten matters: veggies then protein / fats and then carbs last. 4). Cooking method matters. Steamed potatoes vs fried potatoes. Steamed broccoli vs boiled broccoli. 5). Have small snacks if needed to avoid being too hungry. For example, some apple slices with low sodium cheese or nut butters. Cracker with avocado and tomatoes or proteins like tuna/sardines with olives. 6). Read the food labels. Avoid added sugar in packaged foods. Do not shop for food when hungry. Shop the perimeter of the store, avoid the middle aisles if possible. 7). Eat foods that are in its natural form or eat less processed foods. When using canned foods, most foods can be rinsed to reduce sodium levels. 8). Enjoy life! It is ok to have sweets, just be judicious and have some form of fiber before eating sweets (think flax seeds, soaked chia seeds, veggies from your meal). 9). Plan your meals. Pre-cook and store / freeze. 10). Get enough quality sleep so your body can regenerate and be ready for the next day. Everyone is different so experiment for yourself and see what works for you. Spend 5-10 minutes a day just breathing and reaffirming to yourself that you can do it because you are worth it!

That looks like a lot of carbs

This looks like dinner your wife prepares for you.......WHEN SHE'S MAD AT YOU

The rice is overload on the glucouse uptake.

I am in the process of reversing T2D and I cannot eat rice, brown, black… my post prandial glucose will spike to 200. I eat cauliflower rice. I wish I could eat like this but I cannot 😢

That is too much rice, You only need at most 1/4 of the rice. Misleading to capture the trend. Unethical

Basically eat the opposite of what she eats and you’re good to go. Can’t imagine a food worse for diabetes than what this „expert“ presents here.

If I ate that nightmare, an hour later my glucose meter would read 250.

It’s the kimchi the broccoli and tofoo that outweigh the rice. And that helps. I’ve followed Charmaine’s diet and my blood sugar came down. I can’t eat a plate as big as hers as I’m older and more sedentary But her videos helped me beyond words. Prior to her videos I was eating low carb diet. I was afraid of any kind of potatoes or grains. To my folly. I ended up with C reactive protein and ketoacidosis in my blood profile. My blood sugar went up. Not down. I was super puzzled. I had dehydration. My tongue was dry and my skin on the arms shrivelled. All this in the last two years I ate low carb. Ate VERY little. She blew the lid off with her videos. She named all the setbacks if we ate low carb high fat. I had all she said we would have. In my blood profile. I started eating plant based whole food whole grains in portions I could manage according to my appetite and my blood sugar plummeted. I’m satiated now. Never hungry like before. Because I’m eating a high fibre nutrient dense meal which stops all my cravings. Doctors have got it wrong. They put you on a guilt trip if your sugar is high. They keep disbelieving you that you ate little. And few carbs. I was healthier when years ago I just ate what I wanted. Low carb almost killed me. I lacked nutrients for my body chemistry to work synergistically. Thank God for Charmaine. The Sherlock Holmes of the diabetic mystery. Everyday I wake up knowing I can eat well and not die. Finally I’d say this. Experiment. And see what works for you best. Less rice more veg. More plant based protein - anything. But eat wholesome food because your body needs a whole range of nutrients to put this diabetic demon down

Dietician with a microwave 🤣

That much rice is an insulin spike ultro pro max

Rice is Carbs! No latter what type. It raises glycemic index fast.

Terrible advice. You don't "Need" any Rice. There is no such thing as essential or required Fiber or Carbs.

that's a whole rice cooker worth of rice. is that really good for anyone? for a single meal?

That portion is massive! I can’t even imagine finishing all that.

You lost me at eating grains 😵‍💫

Too much rice. Thats way too many carbs for one meal

that amount of rice is just amazing

Do you recommend your diabetic patients go on insulin to handle the carb load until insulin resistance is gone?

Damn , she put alot of food on that plate. Was that for 2 people ?

I can’t eat any grains at all 😬 jacks my blood sugar up to the 200’s even with high protein.

I’m back on my whole food plant based diet too cause that’s the only way I was able to lower my A1C and enjoyed it. I began eating meat and dairy again after a few months just to see how my body would react, and unfortunately, I kept eating it despite the fact that I was starting to feel all the pain I used to feel before. Now I’m 20+ lbs heavier than when I first began a whole food plant based diet. I genuinely enjoy eating this way and it’s made me healthier than I ever was in so long.

That just looks gross.

Brown rice has more arsenic than white rice. 😝 Any rice or pasta shoots my blood sugar up!! The broccoli and tofu look good!!😃👍🏽

What. My dietician said 1 cup of rice. That's how much riv ei was eating pre-diagbosis of being diabetic. LOL.

Interesting. I thought rice was terrible for someone with diabetes....

Brown rice is still sugar

So much for portion control... And rice is too carb rich.

I like the part when you clapped at the microwave… that’s so me 😂❤❤❤😂

From Hawaii, Mahalo for ur education and ur Smile and Vibes always makes my day and night🤙 Bigg Blessingz to u and ur Ohana 💖🙏🏿💖 💖🙏🏿💖

Carbs to reverse diabetes.😮

Isn’t the rice too much. The portion of rice that a diabetic should be eating is equivalent to a handful

Guys try Apple Cider Vinegar first thing in the morning in lukewarm water and wait 20 minutes before breakfast or meal. Once a day should be enough.. I’d love to know if it worked for you…😊

I can't eat that much, if any, brown rice. I'm concerned.

Brown rice spikes me, no matter what i do.

When all the joy goes from your life and you want it for others 😹

How does high carb rice lower your blood sugar?

Can we see the non-kimchi meal options? That rice will spike blood sugar. I do broccoli, salmon or tuna steak, and butternut squash or potato slices and some grilled walnuts.

To lower your sugar. You need to do it slowly. If u drink a lot of juice or fizzy drinks it’s best to train yourself on drinking only water for a few weeks then reduce intake of rice or any carbs (don’t eliminate just reduce it) after and eat slowly. Eat small batches of food to relieve the cravings

Wait. That is so much food! 😭

THAT RICE???😱😱 oh my! Crazy 🤪 I treat rice like a dessert. I eat it every once in a while and very small amounts. The broccoli and tofu looks good, but I would probably just eat broccoli with beef and be much more satisfied and less tempted to eat anything bad for me

That brown rice is too much.

Nothing like cooking everything from scratch . Using the microwave is not actual cooking. You’re just hearing up the processed food.

Not every diabetic behaves in the same way. Maybe for her, this is just the right amount of rice, but too much for others. Your blood sugar meter will let you know which category you fall into.

Try quinoa combined with rice that will increase the volume and protein

Quinoa salads are great!. I eat it most days.

Is it okay to eat so many carbs in one meal with diabetes?

Is brown rice really better? It tastes like literal grains, which it is.

Omg…..that meal is huge !! I would make that last for 3 days. !

Not only is this a meal that would spike blood sugar, it sounds God awful.

I love this meal! I have had it three times this week, but only with 1/2 cup of brown rice each time. Thank you for the idea! Can you explain the large amount of rice on your plate? Was that intentional? Is it safe for diabetics to have that size portion of brown rice in one sitting?

That’s more than one serving of food for a diabetic. Moderation is important for diabetics.

I think that brown rice freezed in refrigerator for more than 20 hours. It became a resistant starch, which is better for diabetics.

One Of Favorite Meals!❤

The microwave kills everything, use a Pressure cooker or Steam it

It looks so good but they say the rice has sugar 😮

Just a pure carnivore here who reversed ALL my poor bloodwork scores to excellent according to my doctor and my cac score of a perfect O zero!!! Vegetables, tofu and all that rice would KILL my triglycerides and other scores!

What’s a serving of rice for a diabetic person doing this diet? As a diabetic, I know grains and starchy vegetables raise my sugar, so what modifications do I need to do?

Doesn't microwave kill lots of the nutrients ????

There is a saying of ancient India... anything that cooks fast...isn't good for health

If you cook and cool the brown rice it’ll create resistant starch which will help lower any spike

Rice raises my sugars even a little bit of it. You ate a plate full.😂

Can you do a video on how to fix insulin resistance?

If anyone is following a low fat vegan diet I was eating tofu for a very long time before realizing it’s almost 20 g of fat per package serving so I can very easily break your fat macro goals for the day

Brown rice??? Are you serious?? Do you know anything about diabetes and any kind of rice???

Whoa that’s way too much rice in one meal😂I don’t think I could eat that in one go

😢 got it today 😢 im 24 years old 😢 im extremly sad 😢😢 thank god i found this vido i was loosing hope 😢

stop eating rice if you want to reverse t2d

Wow lots of rice!

May I ask if that portion size of rice you are eating is OK for a person just diagnosed with diabetes? It seems like a lot of rice for one meal? If you can give us the portion size of brown rice you recommend that would be great.

I know you can have rice but a Tbsp would be the limit. Eat from an 8 inch plate and only fill 3 portions vegetables and a protein of choice. Stay away from fried foods and watch for high salt or artificial additives that replace sugars!!

Rice? What? Omg no that will spike my sugar in a minute

I have to say, I'm not trying to give hate. But I don't think there's anything wrong with seasonings, if you avoid the kind that have dyes and salt then there isn't anything wrong with them. I understand this is her diet and if she's doing a preventative measure to avoid diabetes and this works for her great. But in America if you're reversing diabetes and competing with the lab created addictive foods in stores(like packaged) I just think a little seasoning doesn't hurt.

There’s way too many people in the comments section saying brown rice will spike the sugar. As someone who has family members with diabetes brown rice is all they eat since they can’t eat white rice anymore and they haven’t had any problems with it. It’s the only rice they CAN eat now.

That plate for a family 😂

Why have any carbs?

Diabetes cannot be reversed permanently but it can go into remission.

Hi 👋 please help and where do I start… I noticed you don’t do meat. Am not sure how I can just change my diet from eating meat to not eating meat… and I really want to reverse my diabetes. I’ll even try this no eating meat thingy you have going here. But how do I start , what should I start with first. Please help me. And by the way I live in far north in Canada 🇨🇦 and there’s not that many places I can go grab certain foods , it’s kind of minimized over here. But I’ll drive the extra mile just to go get what I need to start with this journey. Thank you 🙏

If the reason we eat, broccoli is because it’s so nutrient dense wouldn’t microwaving it kill all the nutrients, and make it pointless anyway?

Is microwave heating healthy ?

I have hypothyroidism and genetic cholesterol.Pre diabetic with perfect BMI..what can I eat please?

Girl that’s like enough food for 2-3 people 😭

The quantity of rice is insane

Hmmmmmmm thats a lot of rice. I wish we really could eat that much!

I reversed my prediabetic. I am on no grains diet.

This may sound silly, but what does tofu taste like? Is it cheesy? I have never had it.

Bok choi kimchee ?! Can't wait to make it ! Thank you !

Why not fresh? Why is the US so distant from fresh food?

If you’re diabetic you should especially be getting most of your carbs from fiber which comes From veggies. Avoid starchy veggies. And if you’re Not diabetic you should still be getting most of your carbs from veggies

Looks great!! Thanks❤❤

All that rice! Yes it's brown rice but still alot 😮

Portion of rice matters. Reduce the amount of rice and double the tofu, the plate would be more helpful for those trying to bring their blood sugar under control.

Is any rise good for a lo sugar diet?

Y’all are tripping this is a perfectly normal amount of rice

Frozen broccoli essential for diabetic blend it in smoothies
