Home-made porridge using organic jumbo oats and full-fat milk will make me helplessly sleepy a couple of hours later, so fibre and “whole grains” don’t work for everyone. Same with baked potato even with tuna mayo or cheese. But cutting them (and rice, pasta, bread etc) more or less out was a colossal improvement.
I'm the same at age 67. All I can do is eat as near zero carbs as possible. I don't mind that but it's the people around you that have no understanding and give you a hard time that gives the added grief 😮
Same here. So for a long time I stopped eating big lunches and tried eating my dinner around 1800-ish. But I have to step that up a notch by being very mindful of carbs and cut down on some!!! Xx
For me oats also give me a large sugar spike, and a poor score. However if I swapped it out for barley flakes, which would score 98 for me, there was only a minimal rise in my blood glucose, which would rise anyway after a meal.
Intact whole grains are very slow carbs that also feed your good gut bacteria. Brown rice, wheat berries, oat groats, barley, rye, buckwheat, amaranth, sorghum, teff, millet etcetera
Amaranth has grains? I only became aware of it yesterday for the first time when I saw some frozen red amaranth in a turkish store. Google told me it's the same plant west Indians call calaloo.
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the 23 former doctor truths by lauren clark. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Glad Tim added that about smoothies. I put plenty of red cabbage and collards in my smoothies. Also some almonds and seeds. Just enough banana or berries to make it taste fine. And some oats. It fills me up for ages. Best meal I have personally found for long last energy and it's pretty low calorie. While I may lose some polyphenols from the banana (or grapes I sometimes add) - I get sulforaphane in high amounts from red cabbage as smashing it up helps make even more!
I lost a lot of weight using vegetable smoothies. Minimal fruit. Mainly ginger to help the hunger pangs. After 6 weeks I'd lost a load and moved on to more normal diet
Hello, I love and follow your content religiously! Never commented before so I don't know if this will be seen or replied to but here goes! I can't recall seeing anything in your videos about "resistant starch"? Is it a "thing"? If it's been discussed please direct me to the content, thanks! Sean
My spikes are about an hour later on cgm but can be modified with protein/fat salad vinegar and veggies first then exercise etc ... I can't manage lentils/ beans / pasta without a big spike and have a smaller amount of wholegrains (all not even rye or sourdough) /potatoes than I used to ... Fasting insulin is good as is HBA1 so it's just glucose sensitivity ... But I used to feel ill with these spikes and as at 1hr + never related to a meal until wore cgm
Interesting with that dip... Once, two hours after an OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test, I surprisingly suffered from a slight hypo, with a blood glucose level of 68. A standardized amount of glucose is by no means a meal, but maybe the test was misinterpreted due to that dip.
I think there is a generalisation about the kind of work people undertake. I eat porridge for breakfast at 0830!. and then graft, dont have a dip until I feel hungry for lunch at 1. If i was sitting at a desk i suspect it would be a very different story. Suspect sugars are being used!?
Thank you for a shorter clip, with actionable advice. The 'trust your body' message imo, is a bit dangerous, as many people have been programmed by various life events to have very scrambled messages from their body. Needs mentioning.
So the sugar spike can be from fructose or starch (glucose) & they both play out the same? Though the mitochondria can use glucose but not fructose! Which type of sugar is worse?
I’ve just been diagnosed with ADHD AT 53 at can now attribute my inability to lose and keep off weight to that. Would it be possible to include a segment in your videos that addresses and modifies advice for those of us who have other pastors at play. This would greatly help a community who have felt it’s THEIR FAILURE, when it’s not. Many thanks.
Excess weight is caused by excess carbohydrates rather than excess calories. Eat a thousand calorie fat/protein breakfast... Butter and eggs is good here. Game changer. The ultimate appetite suppressant.
@ I’d love to however my cholesterol is too high to go down that route. A year of testing, changing my diet and retesting means I have to be careful with what protein I eat.
My tummy is kind of funny it gets so stuffed with carbs and it digests very slowly as well. But reducing and cutting down on carbs and exercising more it helps a lot. Xx
Practically the only food I’ve eaten with significant sugar content over last six years or so has been raw fruit. I’ve gone to great lengths to control carbs generally as a part of my diet. However, as exception to that rule I ate auite a lot of fruit throughout the day - five a day and often more. No fruit juices, just raw fruit and some raisins. A month ago I was diagnosed, after a blood test, as prediabetic. Too much fruit turned out to be bad for me, despite all the advice out there.
Another option to lower carbs is have a smaller portion. Carbs are still essential nutrients but have half a potato rather than a whole potato or half a carrot rather than a whole carrot. Your veggies will go twice as far. Plus all veggies that grow underground are starch or carb high. All vegetables grown above ground are insulin friendly.
Wheres the evidence for smoothies being worse than equivalent fruit?. Being a regular fruit heavy lunch smoothie fan for almost a decade now - I've researched and reviewed multiple studies that compare glycemic response and it seems regularly to be proven counter to your assertions that blended whole fruit smoothies actually transit slower and have danpened glycemic response. Similar contra to instinct responses ..
A big lack of understanding is shown here. It’s not about “good “ carbs. It’s about insulin resistance from too many carbs. No mention that fats do not raise glucose levels.
Insulin resistance is caused by too much fat in the wrong part of your body, by consuming excess calories over an extended time. Whole food carbs don’t make you overeat calories, ultra processed foods do. Intact whole grains, legumes, fruits and potatoes is not why people are obese.
Great content as usual. CGM's don't monitor fructose, and as most fruits and sucrose have at least 50% fructose, can this be problematic. It is said fructose does all the damage of alcohol, with none of the fun. There is a world of difference in fueling sedentary as opposed to athletic individuals. Athletes seem to wanna mainline the sugars, even counting on fructose using different metabolic pathway, sorta like dual carburetors. How about a segment on fueling for sport. There has been a strong keto push, particularly for endurance sports.
Money for old rope. Refined carbs are baaaad news, we know that already. Avoid starchy carbs, hv more fresh veg, ginger + fruit. Really not complicated or new!

Millet is not usually sold as a whole grain, right?

Can you make an episode on autoimmune conditions please?
YES PLEASE!!!!!!
Most autoimmune conditions are caused by continuous blood glucose spikes.
I really appreciate this content, but usually dont watch because it's too long. Thanks for a shorter clip this time.
A wee tip. You can watch the longer ones at 1.5 the speed and still hear it and understand it fine. Reduces the length of watch time.
My thought exactly, at last a Zoe video that it’s feasible to watch.
When is Zoe test going to be available in Australia?

I am interested in a discussion on ground and freeze-dried fruits and veggies. How is that different than the problems with drinking apple juice?
Fibre
@@chewiewins Note that Zoe is now selling a freeze-dried powder product. I'm guessing that they looked into this pretty deeply,
@nowayjose6700 freeze dried preserves vitamins etc without preservatives too

So would you say that porridge for breakfast is just as bad as cereal or toast wrt carbs?
Isn’t cheese mostly saturated fat and salt? How is that good for arteries?

Fruit can be high in sugar. Berries are best.

Carbs are absolutely not an essential nutrient.
Protein, fiber and monounsaturated/polyunsaturated fats in food, simples

Spot on. Insulin resistance comes way before glucose spiking

For sure she is in the anti carbs camp
Just refined carbs

Curry and lentils for breakfast?
Curried eggs. Delicious
Why a savoury breakfast?😂
Why NOT a savoury breakfast?😂

Which specific foods do you mean by starchy carbs?
@@reason3581 ? you don't know what a starchy carb is?
Too many personal anecdotes.
The prof in the middle isn’t really adding anything, more or less just repeating what the woman set.
When the only tool you have in the box is a hammer everything looks like a nail! Professor in using a hammer. 😢
If you're busy you have no time for 'oh' i feel a dip
Shouldn't you have made your comment in the first person?
another bushit theory so she said eat more chicken ? seriously im leaving this channel
It's only an example. She said to add some protein to your meal to prevent a blood glucose spike. It's common sense.
