In this video, I document my experience of trying out different healthy breakfast options while monitoring my blood sugar levels. With the help of Nutrisense, my partner for this video, I was able to use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to track my blood sugar throughout the day.
The video starts with an introduction to the experiment, explaining how I applied the CGM and how I attempted to control the fairness of the results for each healthy breakfast as much as possible. I then proceed to showcase seven different breakfast options that I tried out over the course of a week. These options include avocado toast, yogurt parfait, chia pudding, and more.
Here are some of the recipes I tried:
Spinach and Mushroom Omelet: www.mediterraneanliving.com/s...
Overnight Oats with Blueberries: www.mediterraneanliving.com/b...
Avocado Toast with Salmon: www.mediterraneanliving.com/a...
Keto Bread: thebigmansworld.com/keto-almo...
As I consume each meal, I provide the breakdown of my blood sugar readings. With each meal, I explain how the healthy breakfast affected my blood sugar and how I felt after consuming it.
Throughout the video, I also offer some tips and insights into how to make healthy breakfast choices that are both delicious and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
By the end of the video, viewers will have gained a comprehensive understanding of how different healthy breakfast options can impact blood sugar levels and will have some new ideas for healthy and tasty breakfast choices.

Excellent and so helpful
very interesting! thank you for sharing.
Great Chanel. Love your enthusiasm.
This is such a fantastic video! Thank you!
Thanks velry much,! Pre-diabetic here so I truly appreciate your information. Hope you have a good day 😊
This video helped me so so much as how to eat. Thank you for doing this video. Can you do more of these?
This was so helpful! I would love to see a lunch and dinner version as well! Newly diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance and it’s so difficult to find content like this to know what to eat. This was great!
Take care as everyone responds differently to foods. 🪷
Realize that he is not diabetic and probably does not have insulin resistance. Your body May respond differently
Loved this video- Excellent information and some great ideas for breakfast- It would have been nice to see how a berry smoothie would have compared numerically with the other breakfast shown.
Your daughter is so adorable! I love her haircut--so sweet!
Great video!!!
Thank you!
This video is so helpful! We're really having great success with following the Med Diet, and your cookbook has SO many yummy recipes! Thanks
Thanks Sarah, iI am glad the Mediterranean Diet has been helpful for you.
Thanks from Brazil, Bill!!
You are welcome!
This is helpful for me as I've recently been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. Thanks so much!!
You are welcome!
I find all of this so fascinating. Not a diabetic, but have considered getting a CGM for data tracking purposes to see how different things affect my body. For your experiment - were these post-prandial numbers at 1 or 2 hours (or some other)? Thanks for sharing!
that was cool to know and fabulous device
I find it so interesting to see how the different meals varied in their affect on your blood glucose.
Thanks, it will vary depending on many circumstances, but this was a fun way to see how it affected my glucose.
This is such a helpful video thank you so much. As a diabetic I would kill for those numbers.
Me too!
Thanks Veronica.
Me too! =(
Loved this, i love acocado toast with poached egg and crushed red pepper
One of my favorites as well!
I'm new to the Mediterranean diet. So I'm asking this to help me learn and understand better, not trying to challenge or anything. From the other videos I watched, you seemed to emphasize the vegetables and the oil and even not always adding meat. But many of these meals seemed to be heavy in either meat or carbs. How would meals that are more focused on vegetables and beans and oil?
Three hours is too long. Blood sugar will spike between 1-2 hours. By three hours, you'd be back to or close to normal.
I’m diabetic Mom, breakfast for my son is my permanent headache :((
Thanks for useful video so much!!!
Daughter is so cute!
Interesting. Any difference with energy levels?
Can you tell me what brand or brands of EVOO you recommend?
Well done. I'd been wondering about my morning oats.
Thank you.
I’m wondering if your glucose was high with oats from all of your add-ons? Maybe keep it simpler with some ground chia, a few berries and nuts/nut butter? We usually soak in water or unsweetened plant milk.
I have a quick question. Is Krinos brand olive oil good? I got some of their Kalamata olives in brine and they were pretty good.
Ok may I ask about the apple and peanut butter ?
I’m intrigued.
Why do you choose to eat it. 😊
Where is the link to that glucose monitor? Maybe I missed it in the description? Thanks
Some of these were great breakfast ideas. I pass on the salmon. I like it, but, not in the morning!
Those meals will affect a diabetics blood glucose levels differently. Also 3 hours is too late to test to find out how it's affecting you blood sugar. 3 hours after your meal you should be back down close to where you started. Test at half, hour and 2 hour mark to find out how they effect your blood sugar. And each diabetic will respond to them differently also.
Yes! These meals would spike my BS for sure as a diabetic. I am told by my Dr to test 2 hours after a meal.
Fantastic video, love to see you getting your daughter involved in the kitchen! "Teach them young"
Thanks! She loves to cook.
I tried chia pudding but the texture is too much for me. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome.
You are also blend it down and make it into a porridge
What is the peanut butter you used? Thanks for sharing 🙏
He is using Trader Joe’s Organic Creamy Peanut Butter. I use it too because it has only peanuts and salt, nothing else and it’s delicious. It also comes in chunky style with or without salt. No sugar is another plus.
@@carmenmiller5701 thank you
@@stephensonbenita 😉
We use Trader Joe's Organic Peanut Butter. It is just peanuts without additives such as sugar and the price is really good.
What do the numbers mean? What range is considered low? What’s considered high? Another person I follow on TikTok has a different scale for his glucose monitor - anything above 30 is considered high.
Hi! My husband is diabetic so he often has to watch his glucose. He tries to keep his blood sugar between 70 and 120. 30 would be extremely low. His once dropped to 50 and he almost passed out.
30 is dangerously low.
Is the person a keto or carnivore influencer? They are usually obsessed with keeping their sugars very low.
What is the best tracker for a Mediterranean diet.
What kind of a tracker are you talking about? For glucose or something else?
If you're talking about a food or calorie tracking app, cronometer is quite useful.
Breakfast at 10am? I’ve been at my business for 2 hours. Eggs are my best, steel cut oats being 2nd. Anything else doesn’t cut it. Good stuff here though. I’m want to try the chia pudding.
I don't usually have breakfast this late. I was just trying to make everything as consistent as possible for the video. The chia pudding is a nice alternative once in awhile for me.
@@Mediterraneanliving ok that makes sense. 👍
Gluten-free bread? Is that eaten on Crete? Keto bread? What’s happening? Why not use the traditional bread eaten there and see what that does?
Some people eat low carb bread or need to eat gluten free because they have a sensitivity or celiac disease. The beauty of the Mediterranean Diet is that it's not a fixed diet. Makes it easier to follow and stick to.
You said that we can extrapolate from your results what our results would be. That’s absolutely not true. And I would think that you would want to test each meal a few times before giving the results. There are too many confounding factors. In any case none of these results was bad.
You are 100% correct. I certainly didn't mean to imply that. There are so many factors even just for myself. Everyone will be different.
By those numbers you are probably not diabetic I am guessing? And to really find out how it is affecting your blood sugar, you should test before you take a bite and then 1/2 hour a d 1 hour and 2 hours after you start eating. If you were diabetic you would experience a larger spike. If Diabetic At 3 hours you should be back where you started if not before then.
Gad zooks. So many nasty comments when someone is trying to give helpful info. 😮
Those breakfast choice glucose numbers are how they affected YOUR blood sugar. Every one is different. Just because you got those glucose numbers eating them, does not mean that’s what other people will get.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. My numbers could also be different if I did it again.
I’m sorry, but this is very misleading because none of those rises in glucose anywhere problematic, and the whole question of using a blood glucose monitor is considered very controversial these days. It could lead people to fear foods and meals unnecessarily. See Dr. Nicola Guess, who is a diabetes specialist in England.
You also can’t claim that anybody else will have the same reaction to these foods. It is not the small excursions or even bigger ones that are the problem. People with pre-diabetes and diabetes have relatively high blood sugar running all the time not temporarily after meals. Your low numbers could scare a lot of people because it’s very likely that some of them, especially older people, Are going to have higher spikes, but they probably do not have prediabetes or diabetes, nor will they develop those. It’s true, that higher fat breakfasts will keep you satisfied for longer, but the saturated fat issue comes in to play then. I think you are an advocate of the real Mediterranean diet and saturated fats. Play a very small role in that diet. Heart disease kills a lot more people than diabetes. I did a fair amount of monitoring glucose and reducing meals that raised glucose past 120. It did not actually affect my A1c measure, and my LDL cholesterol, which is the one associated with heart disease, went up.
Oats = carb load which definitely explains why your glucose spiked your insulin over 100 and that you became hungry. Your numbers are very close to being quite pre-diabetic range of mid to high 90s.
No they are not. The numbers he shared are his glucose peak for these meals. The number you are referring to as pre-diabetic (100-125 mg/dl) is a fasting glucose. His fasting glucose is clearly in the healthy range and well under 100 mg/dl. Most of his glucose peaks are even under 100 mg/dl. He has great glucose control.
My question is, why are you eating all your meals standing up, you barbarian??
Yes, me barbarian. p.s. I don't usually eat standing up. This was for the video. Me sit down eat breakfast.
@@Mediterraneanliving Lol. I figured as much. I was kidding, of course, but I do wonder just how much blood sugar is affected when someone is "relaxed" while eating, as opposed to not.
@@joseelement7695 it makes a difference
Why are you lying about the Mediterranean diet and why are you deleting comments that call you out?
Tell me more, we try to answer all comments unless they are just derogatory.
@@Mediterraneanliving I have heard from a woman I know who used to enjoy your content that you have deleted her comments questioning why you pretend the mediterranean diet is low fat. I have also looked for her comments and haven't been able to find them. Do you consider simple questions derogatory?
@grottphd9090 that's weird because there is a video from mediterranean living discussing how people in the med use more olive oil than most people in other countries think. I've never seen the presenter of this channel say that the mediterranean diet is low fat. You are working on second hand knowledge and accusing people of things without really doing much fact checking it seems...
I’ve made a shift to steel cut oats. It would be interesting to see the difference in the type of oats used. 🪷
