I'm trying to get this through my mom's head. May have to print something out for her. She's ALWAYS complaining about her sleepiness (it's bad), but she won't control her blood sugar (has T2 diabetes. It's so frustrating, and I'm tired of listening to her complaints or watching her doze off while I'm talking to her.
Wow. A couple months ago when I started my weight loss journey I had every single one of these. They were sooooo hard to work through. I’m eating better now and all of this has gotten a lot better.
Taking advice from a few vegan youtubers led me down a path of excess carb intake, and now I experience all of your signs (aside from diabetes). Thanks for opening my eyes... I’m starting to understand it’s possible to be vegan without extreme diets like “high carb”
About number 6, I can say that she's spot on. It's crucial that you find the reason why your eating for comfort. And it's not easy, but it is worth it.
Such great information. Amazing what inflammation can do. My skin, blood pressure, weight has improved drastically since March when I transitioned in to low crab high good fat eating. Now I am eating mostly grassfed meat, eggs, mushrooms, spinach, avocados, aged cheese, nuts, wild caught fish, Asparagus and heavy cream. I love your videos I am also an engineer!! I am investing in my health with food and working out. Would be intrested in a low carb program.
Wow this sounds like me. Great video! I learn so much from your channel. I was on metformin to help get pregnant, I have pcos, and when I stopped taking it after my baby was born I felt a huge difference in my body. Tired, weird shaky when I don’t eat or if I have something with refined sugar in it, super thirsty and always hungry. Also I got more bloated almost instantly. I thought my symptoms might be because of my hypothyroidism and all the hormonal changes of having a baby and nursing. I recently purchased the 4 week custom meal plan, just waiting to have my review call on the 15th! I’m super excited to see what kind of meal plan I get. If I can manage all my symptoms with diet instead of being on medication or be able to be on lower doses of medication that would be fantastic!! Not to mention Just feeling better and working on my body composition goals is an actual reality. Thanks Christine:)
Hey Christine, loving the budget 6week shred, will be contacting you in a few weeks for a consult but I will say this video is SHOCKING because I am experiencing everything except sugar cravings that you mentioned in this video. I have resorted to taking pre-workout just to make it through my 12 hour work days at the hospital, the fatigue and brain fog is so real, my solution in the past to all of this was to... eat more carbs.. but now that I'm dialed in with my macros that doesn't work anymore! My acne improved for a few days in the beginning of phase 2 but now is worse than ever (cutting out dairy starting yesterday), and mercifully my bloating/IBS symptoms have improved significantly. My workouts consist of 2 hour sessions of heavy olympic weightlifting (training for meet in September) workouts 3x/wk and have seen a pretty substantial body recomposition to where my goals are pretty much met- I fit back into my clothes and look more ripped than ever! My concern about keto or low carb is where is that energy going to come from if I don't have that much fat to start with? Ketosis is great but what about when I run out of fat to change over to energy! It's been years since nursing school nutrition class so I apologize for sounding ignorant but this is all new to me! Any input would be much appreciated and looking forward to finishing strong on the shred in a few weeks!!
I can’t believe how much too many can affect your mood! It’s absolutely unbelievable- if I hear of someone depressed or anxious I ask if they have cleaned up their diet a bit? Makes a huge difference on my mood personally
Great video! Only time I have issue like this in when my fibromyalgia flare up. It really sucks and down for days. It hard to lose weight with fibromyalgia, I can exercise and no lose weight…
I love your videos as they are so informative and well-researched! However, I find it rather casual to call diabetes, lactose intolerance and celiac disease simply "signs" of carbs overload. They are long-term healrh conditions in their own right! With their complex management plan. I feel it would be more appropriate to cover these in a separate video with their links to carb overeating - but not the other way around.
I eat so many carbs, it's shocking when I log my meals. But I've been at the same weight for 2 years, and its considered normal weight for my height and age. However I bloat all the time!!! I also have IBS, and I'm allergic to dairy, chicken, and pork. So I think I'm bloated due to: excess carb intake, processed foods, and eating too much at one sitting. Probably need to start being mindful of my macros and calories, and eat portioned meals, and get rid of processed foods. Thanks Christine for the info, you're inspiring me to re-evaluate my current food habits.
Lisa LaFave hey Lisa! I’m very similar to you! I also have IBS and sensitive to dairy and allergic to wheat, peanuts, and corn, but that’s crazy to hear that you are allergic to pork and chicken. I’ve never heard of that before! I wish you luck on your journey to health! 💛
You Can Do It. Mind over matter. I have been cutting Sugars out since Jan and I am noticing some differences. Now : to cut out carbs. Mind over matter. I can do this. ( But I love my carbs 😭) But I will get better. I just have to do the hard work.
I highly recommend anyone with IBS/IBD do a FODMAP elimination with a dietician’s help. It’s intimidating but you don’t have to stay on low FODMAP, it’s for figuring out what you react to so that you can limit and avoid those foods. I found that I malabsorb fructose which is hard because I love fruit but now I know why I felt sick after eating a banana 😞
Thank you so much!!!! Just as I was wondering about this, you posted the video and now I know that I am taking in too much carbs and that I’m gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant 😩😔🙏
I have been struggling with being prediabetic for the last several years. I have learned alot over the last few years about how my body reacts to certain foods. I do really well when I eliminate all sugars from my diet (at about week 2 I always loose all cravings for sugars), but I am also almost never hungry once I reach this stage. I know that I handle Intermittent Fasting really well. One problem that I have is getting in enough macro nutrients during my IF days. Not sure that I need to be concerned with this part if I am only doing 1 to 2 IF days each week. I have found over the last year that I feel so much better when I am on a lower carb protocol but feel a keto protocol is not the right choice either. I just started week 3 of the paleo 6 week shred and I have been feeling alot better. I do not feel or look as puffy, my energy and depression are somewhat better, although I am still struggling. The main thing I have going right now is that I am so tired of feeling ill and right now my progress and having a plan to focus on has really helped me get really motivated. I started on May 14th with just watching my calorie intake and that was a huge first step, and then starting the shred and that s when I started noticing a difference on how I felt physically. Since May 14th I have lost approximately 20lbs. I have also gotten back into the gym and started back on trying to train my cardio and do some strength training.
I live on carbs 😭 I'm unfortunately a pretty picky eater, so I've been this way all my life but depression ✅ fatigue ✅ cravings ✅ bloating? Not sure if it's just fat or bloat at this point. 😅 😔
I have all those symptoms with the occasional depression but my carb intake is pretty low and I've cut out most dairy apart from in my protein powders. I've always struggled to lose weight and my doctors test for my thyroid and diabetes came back ok. 🤷♀️
Hi, my name is Sarah. I have an intolerance to red meat/pork and I have bleeding ulcers. Sometimes the only thing I feel I can eat is plain rice or pasta due to budget or ulcer symptoms. I want to get on one of your meal plans because I am an endomorph. I want to feel healthy again and I am not sure were to start.
Hi my name is Tara I'm 49 and in late perimenopaus I'm asking what plan I need because I have been told a few different diet plans. I'm also gluten intolerant and maybe lactose intolerant. I have struggled with depression due to some childhood trauma. I've always had a sugar addiction but never had a problem with this in the past because my metabolism was fast back then but now I struggle with this really bad.
I had to take a full semester off from school because i just couldnt focus plus i am always bloated. My legs nd arm are naturally toned just wish i could get tummy tht way too
omg I agree with you, I feel depressed even no reason😭😭 bec most of the day I eat lots of carbs it’s my problem now how to lose weight im endomorph also. I love carbs it’s like my day wasn’t complete with out carbs😭😭
I totally agreee with the acne point . Thats my personal marker. Its winter right now so u can only imagine how much hot cocoa and pastries ive been having as eating salads just doesnt feel right cause its cold. I have had the worst break out of my life . Especially around my chin and cheeks
Hi! First thank you for the video, it was very informative and confirmed some things I was feeling. I'm a little concerned that I definitely have been eating to many carbs, though also a bit more concerned that I may have IBS (I had thought I was only lactose intolerant until recently), currently looking for a new doctor. Anything you could suggest diet wise to help me out until I can confirm IBS also being an issue?
I’m a very carbohydrate person. I’m 5”7 gain a lilttle weight after my hysterectomy my original weight before was 140 now I’m 180. And I eat a mixture of carbs some bad & some good
Hi Christine, I don't know where to start. I notice days of bloating after eating pizza and ice cream shakes. Also I'm concerned with brain fog and laziness being related to how I eat. I'm a sucker for convenience and cheap foods. Both of my parents have type 2 diabetes and have that severe bloating you talked about. Can you point me in the right direction with this bit of information? Thank you.
I have been eating so many carbs(being hispanic most meals involve rice,pasta,tortillas) & have gained so much weight after giving birth. Before having my Baby girl I believe I would have fallen into a mesomorph. I am 5'0 and weighed 115 lb. I did have a faster metabolism and was thin but with some "meat". I do admit my Food intake was much healthier than it is now, I would bloat occasionally but only when I would overeat. As of right now I am always bloated. I feel most symptoms you were mentioning; tiredness, depression. I am currently weighing around 145 lb.What can I do to lose the excess weight I have gained and to avoid the bloating? Also is it possible to get your metabolism back to where it was at the beginning?
This is me. That's why I haven't been able to hit my goal. 135lb/20%bf. I've been stuck at 150lb/26%bf. So close! I wanted to buy the shred this past week it was on sale but I snoozed 😔 . Thanks for the video so so informative 🙏
@@gaugegirltraining Lately I've been doing intermittent fasting and "intuitive eating" basically eye balling my portions of protein, carbs, fats 2 meals 2 snacks in my 8 hrs window of 1pm to 8pm. My goto to shred is meal prepping 120 grams of protein, 116 grams of carbs, and 51 grams of fats, equaling out to 1400 calories. This is when I do a strict meal prep which Ive been slacking for past month. Also, my meals are boring that's why I wanted to get ideas from your shred.
wow, I'm super early for a change. As someone who is trying to cut down on some carbs, I'm sure your knowledge will be helpful, as always. Much love from South Africa.
I have been doing really good with the exception my body does #6 crave sugar (sweets) My daily protein has to be 70g (approx. 23%) can you please tell me what my daily fat and carb grams or percentage should be? I have 7lbs to lose to reach my goal at my calorie intake with -500 deficit is 1283. Thank you. Not diabetic, no bloating, no depression.no celiac disease, I only drink water and tbsp of cream in coffee
♡ Thanks for your video x I am an overall healthy person who also attends the gym 3-4 times a week and have had great results. but lately I am really craving carbs and sugar. especially sugar. I dont understand why the sudden cravings and binging and also its like in the moment I dont care?? Unsure if I need to detox? or really need to meditate and practice mindful eating too.
I’m was type 2 diabetic, now prediabetic, however I’m also dealing with hypothyroidism. I can’t eat too much nuts, no soy, I’m not too big into seafood, and can only have some dairy. What’s left. I notice when my carbs are too low, I feel awful and down. What shred do you recommend?
dawn wagner I actually recommend our low carb high fat protocol not a shred, this plan is on a special promotion this week only for 50% off with code-LOWCARB50 at checkout gaugegirltraining.com/products/the-low-carb-high-fat-protocol
Hey! This was a great video. Love your content. I need help controlling my sugar intake. I kicked it earlier this year but once I gave in again I hav trouble saying no to sweets. I workout and eat really well but I throw it all away with sugar. What should I do to kick this for good?
Paige Hibbert I suggest focusing on stabilizing your blood sugar first by choosing healthier complex carbs first before you start lowering your calories. If you want a jump start our paleo shred is a great plan to support this goal. Would you like more info?
Hey Christine thanks for your video but I was wondering how this would work if one is Bulking? I do experience huge water intake & bloating, I'm 20, BMI is relatively 26 and I'm halfway through your bulking phase, what should I do? I'm worried about becoming pre-diabetic. Thanks ♥️👍🏼
I’m trying to lower my A1c. I drink Starbucks almost everyday. I eat rice and pasta daily. I do feel tired and always craving for more sugar. I did start working out in the morning tho. I’m trying but I know I need to try harder.
All of my dad's kids have some sort of autoimmune/gastro-intestinal type disease. I have Celiac disease, my brother has Crohn's disease, my older sister has IBS, and my little sister has GERD (but none of my older brothers from my mom's first marriage have anything really). We were all diagnosed as older teenagers/young adults (but I had symptoms throughout my life). My grandmother on my dad's side also had Celiac disease and got Alzheimer's at a fairly young age, like late 30s if I remember right, and declined steadily for a good while until she passed away. Autoimmune diseases are NO JOKE!! Also Celiac disease is a little more than your body not being able to digest and process gluten.... Your body literally attacks itself. If something isn't right go speak to your doctor! Writhing in pain for a good hour or more after eating is NOT NORMAL! Throwing up after you eat is NOT NORMAL! Being in a constant state of diarrhea or constipation is NOT NORMAL! I'll get off my soap box now ;) It does feel a little weird to be talking about these conditions and diseases on this video though. It would definitely be beneficial to have a separate video deep diving into healthy living with these diseases or even individual videos about the more common ones.
Hi! Thank you for this video! I don’t know where to start. I’m pre diabetic as per my blood work. I wanted to do keto but scared Bc of a pre existing heart condition. (Atrial fibrillation) but I don’t know if I should. I gained so much weight in the last few years and its something I want to take control of I just don’t know where to begin! Thank you for your videos and knowledge!!

Thanks for this video, very insightful! I have IBS and at first I felt like I couldn’t eat any foods because I’m also highly sensitive and allergic to many other foods, 🤦🏻♀️ but there is so much out there and all it took was experimenting and I feel so much better! 😁
Omg this is me, I’m 18 years old currently 5’9.5 and abit over 10 stone, I used to be 12 stone and lost weight as I was obsessed with sugary drinks to replace food, I got to 9.5 stone after a year before binge eating on excessive carbs and sugars, I still get fatigued and I was told by doctors I have a low thyroid, I’m not sure what to do
Gluten and dairy intolerance cause leaky gut, which causes them to enter the blood stream, where the immune system cannot differentiate between the gluten and dairy molecules and thyroid cells and so it destroys the latter too. That's basically Hashimotos thyroiditis. Those with sluggish thyroids should cut out dairy. Also dairy contains a lot of estrogen.
What about not eating process food except from ezekiel 1 pc bread and 2 cups of grapes or 2 kiwi before bed and 2 ounces nuts before bed. Then vegetables ( baked sweet potato zuchini cauliflower cabbage carrots for lunch and dinner paired with protein no rice. Is that bad as well? Is that considered bad? Im always exceeding in my carb intake
Barbie Lee it’s not about good or bad, it’s about what is appropriate for your goals. It sounds like you know how much you should be eating but if you are going over you would do best with one of our 4 week custom meal plans where we will build a plan around your macro goals using foods you like and not including any items you do not enjoy. Let me know if you would like more info ✔️
Its sp sad that i eat too much carbs because of fruits and veggies and sweet potato thrice a week. Also the only processed food i eat are either (1 slice of ezekiel bread or tumaro wrap during lunch time). still have most of this signs in me. Bloated, cravings for sweet thats why i eat fruit instead.
I am in a very bad place since last April and my appetite has grown up immensely :( I feel hungry all the time, I am never full and I am aware how dangerous is this but I cannot stop it :( Help please!

I think I'm eating too many carbs and it has been affecting my skin. I stay away from white bread most of the time but that's about the the only high GI food I don't eat regularly. Which programme would you recommend?
So do carbs include fruits vegetables? Because since I have changed my diet I have been consuming a lot more fruits and vegetables and I’ve noticed my skin has been angry
I do have a massive weakness for sweet things. I find that even when I'm counting my macros and sticking to clean eating for several weeks, sweet cravings is something I have not been able to shake off which bothers me cuz it leads me to eating desserts and then I feel like my blood sugar fluctuates and I need to have more dessert.
Wow I experienced so many of this things while being vegan/vegetarian 🤦🏻♀️ Well at least I'm aware now! The vegans on yt all say how not to worry about enough protein, and that carbs are good.. And now I'm here 😂👌
Starbucks coffee and bread 🥖 I have been eating everyday unfortunately because I need a comfort food! Since my miscarriage four months ago, and I have gained 40 pounds I need help!😢
how much is too many carbs because i have most of the problems in this video but i eat whole foods and don't eat more than 90g of carbs everyday, i make sure it's about below 60-70g, can some things in this video because from under eating, i'm trying to recovery from a ed and i only eat 600-700 cals a day so is that my problem as well. (btw i have a big fear of carbs and sugar)
ZoeLovesU it sounds like you would be a good candidate for our low carb high fat protocol based off of your feedback. DM me on Instagram @gaugegirltraining if you want to chat more in depth
Start by cooking everything you eat and tracking it. Once you see how many each macro is start to lower the carbs by 5% and increase either the protein or fats each time.
I am going to be living in Mozambique for two years where the stable and affordable foods are cassava and rice. While there should be plenty of vegetables and fruits available during parts of the year, and dried fish is available as a protein (I don't eat non-fish meat), what steps can I take in order to maintain a healthy and not too carb-heavy diet?
@@gaugegirltraining I don't really have experience with tracking macros, and I probably won't be able to use scales and similar stuff to measure, so I would prefer the latter option
Gluten and dairy intolerance also cause leaky gut, which causes them to enter the blood stream, where the immune system cannot differentiate between the gluten and dairy molecules and thyroid cells and so it destroys the latter too. That's basically Hashimotos thyroiditis. Those with sluggish thyroids should cut out dairy. Also dairy contains a lot of estrogen.
Uum... Insulin resistance is too much fat blocking insulin receptors. Treating it with a low carb diet risks causing diabetes. You can lower blood glucose by lowering carbs but you're making the problem worse. You SHOULD be able to eat carbs without insulin resistance. And you can do that with a low fat diet. Not everyone is the same though. People should monitor themselves while trying various diets. And starches RAISE serotonin. Everyone knows about low carb bitchiness...for that reason. This is so well known that I wonder how anyone can possibly say that carbs lower serotonin with a straight face. There's even a book called Potatoes Not Prozac for dealing with depression. I notice though that you don't differentiate between sugar carbs and starches. This is a HUGE error. Sugar is poison, true that, but starches are our food. We've been eating them for two million years. And they do not make us fat until we eat them with FAT. See Okinawans, who used to eat 85% of their diet as sweet potatoes and are the longest lived, thin, people ever recorded. But body building isn't about longevity anyway, is it... It's for short term appearance. Believe me, I lament this fact every day.

Holy crap, I’ve been eating too many carbs! Thank you for this video!!
bintabean happy to help!
Hi, my name is Sarah. I have an intolerance to red meat/pork and I have bleeding ulcers. Sometimes the only thing I feel I can eat is plain rice or pasta due to budget or ulcer symptoms. I want to get on one of your meal plans because I am an endomorph. I want to feel healthy again and I am not sure were to start.
Hi my name is Tara I'm 49 and in late perimenopaus I'm asking what plan I need because I have been told a few different diet plans. I'm also gluten intolerant and maybe lactose intolerant. I have struggled with depression due to some childhood trauma. I've always had a sugar addiction but never had a problem with this in the past because my metabolism was fast back then but now I struggle with this really bad.
Looking for the right program!!! I’m 5’1 150lbs . 49yrs Old . Apple shaped now . My arms and legs are thin
I had to take a full semester off from school because i just couldnt focus plus i am always bloated. My legs nd arm are naturally toned just wish i could get tummy tht way too
Humanbynature Went through this too girl!
omg I agree with you, I feel depressed even no reason😭😭 bec most of the day I eat lots of carbs it’s my problem now how to lose weight im endomorph also. I love carbs it’s like my day wasn’t complete with out carbs😭😭
I totally agreee with the acne point . Thats my personal marker. Its winter right now so u can only imagine how much hot cocoa and pastries ive been having as eating salads just doesnt feel right cause its cold. I have had the worst break out of my life . Especially around my chin and cheeks
Hi! First thank you for the video, it was very informative and confirmed some things I was feeling. I'm a little concerned that I definitely have been eating to many carbs, though also a bit more concerned that I may have IBS (I had thought I was only lactose intolerant until recently), currently looking for a new doctor. Anything you could suggest diet wise to help me out until I can confirm IBS also being an issue?
I’m a very carbohydrate person. I’m 5”7 gain a lilttle weight after my hysterectomy my original weight before was 140 now I’m 180. And I eat a mixture of carbs some bad & some good
My sister has chronic issues with 2 and KNOWS IT but won’t fix it. 🤦🏾♀️
thtpeacechic I’m very sorry to hear that, it’s a shame when there are simple solutions that don’t require intense medical attention
Sadly with some people sugar addiction is just as bad as cocaine addiction.
Hi Christine, I don't know where to start. I notice days of bloating after eating pizza and ice cream shakes. Also I'm concerned with brain fog and laziness being related to how I eat. I'm a sucker for convenience and cheap foods. Both of my parents have type 2 diabetes and have that severe bloating you talked about. Can you point me in the right direction with this bit of information? Thank you.
Gail how tall are you and what’s your current weight, are you looking for a jump start or something slow and steady?
gaugegirltraining I'm 5'4", 197. I'd like the slow and steady approach.
I have been eating so many carbs(being hispanic most meals involve rice,pasta,tortillas) & have gained so much weight after giving birth. Before having my Baby girl I believe I would have fallen into a mesomorph. I am 5'0 and weighed 115 lb. I did have a faster metabolism and was thin but with some "meat". I do admit my Food intake was much healthier than it is now, I would bloat occasionally but only when I would overeat. As of right now I am always bloated. I feel most symptoms you were mentioning; tiredness, depression. I am currently weighing around 145 lb.What can I do to lose the excess weight I have gained and to avoid the bloating? Also is it possible to get your metabolism back to where it was at the beginning?
This is me. That's why I haven't been able to hit my goal. 135lb/20%bf. I've been stuck at 150lb/26%bf. So close! I wanted to buy the shred this past week it was on sale but I snoozed 😔 . Thanks for the video so so informative 🙏
Miriam Cortez how are you currently eating?
@@gaugegirltraining Lately I've been doing intermittent fasting and "intuitive eating" basically eye balling my portions of protein, carbs, fats 2 meals 2 snacks in my 8 hrs window of 1pm to 8pm. My goto to shred is meal prepping 120 grams of protein, 116 grams of carbs, and 51 grams of fats, equaling out to 1400 calories. This is when I do a strict meal prep which Ive been slacking for past month. Also, my meals are boring that's why I wanted to get ideas from your shred.
wow, I'm super early for a change. As someone who is trying to cut down on some carbs, I'm sure your knowledge will be helpful, as always. Much love from South Africa.
sv1000babe happy to help you! What’s your game plan for your nutrition?
Carbs is my everything😩😩😩😩 my day is empty without carbs if I don't have it I feel depressed not happy.
For 1g carb retains 3g water, does carbs from veg and fruit count?
Yuchen Wang yes
I have been doing really good with the exception my body does #6 crave sugar (sweets) My daily protein has to be 70g (approx. 23%) can you please tell me what my daily fat and carb grams or percentage should be? I have 7lbs to lose to reach my goal at my calorie intake with -500 deficit is 1283. Thank you. Not diabetic, no bloating, no depression.no celiac disease, I only drink water and tbsp of cream in coffee
Your videos are always knowledgeable.. I love you a lot.. 💜💜
♡ Thanks for your video x
I am an overall healthy person who also attends the gym 3-4 times a week and have had great results. but lately I am really craving carbs and sugar. especially sugar. I dont understand why the sudden cravings and binging and also its like in the moment I dont care?? Unsure if I need to detox? or really need to meditate and practice mindful eating too.
Get more potassium. I have read that getting more helps. Avocado and spinach has a lot more then bananas and less carbs.
I’m was type 2 diabetic, now prediabetic, however I’m also dealing with hypothyroidism. I can’t eat too much nuts, no soy, I’m not too big into seafood, and can only have some dairy. What’s left. I notice when my carbs are too low, I feel awful and down. What shred do you recommend?
dawn wagner I actually recommend our low carb high fat protocol not a shred, this plan is on a special promotion this week only for 50% off with code-LOWCARB50 at checkout gaugegirltraining.com/products/the-low-carb-high-fat-protocol
Hey! This was a great video. Love your content. I need help controlling my sugar intake. I kicked it earlier this year but once I gave in again I hav trouble saying no to sweets. I workout and eat really well but I throw it all away with sugar. What should I do to kick this for good?
Paige Hibbert I suggest focusing on stabilizing your blood sugar first by choosing healthier complex carbs first before you start lowering your calories. If you want a jump start our paleo shred is a great plan to support this goal. Would you like more info?
gaugegirltraining yes I would! Thank you so much!
Hey Christine thanks for your video but I was wondering how this would work if one is Bulking? I do experience huge water intake & bloating, I'm 20, BMI is relatively 26 and I'm halfway through your bulking phase, what should I do? I'm worried about becoming pre-diabetic. Thanks ♥️👍🏼
I’m trying to lower my A1c. I drink Starbucks almost everyday. I eat rice and pasta daily. I do feel tired and always craving for more sugar. I did start working out in the morning tho. I’m trying but I know I need to try harder.
All of my dad's kids have some sort of autoimmune/gastro-intestinal type disease. I have Celiac disease, my brother has Crohn's disease, my older sister has IBS, and my little sister has GERD (but none of my older brothers from my mom's first marriage have anything really). We were all diagnosed as older teenagers/young adults (but I had symptoms throughout my life). My grandmother on my dad's side also had Celiac disease and got Alzheimer's at a fairly young age, like late 30s if I remember right, and declined steadily for a good while until she passed away. Autoimmune diseases are NO JOKE!! Also Celiac disease is a little more than your body not being able to digest and process gluten.... Your body literally attacks itself. If something isn't right go speak to your doctor! Writhing in pain for a good hour or more after eating is NOT NORMAL! Throwing up after you eat is NOT NORMAL! Being in a constant state of diarrhea or constipation is NOT NORMAL! I'll get off my soap box now ;) It does feel a little weird to be talking about these conditions and diseases on this video though. It would definitely be beneficial to have a separate video deep diving into healthy living with these diseases or even individual videos about the more common ones.
Thank you Christine 😘
Very good informative video!
angela cruz thank you!!
I've been eating Keto for 1 year this month and love it, but definitely miss carbs!
Hi! Thank you for this video! I don’t know where to start. I’m pre diabetic as per my blood work. I wanted to do keto but scared Bc of a pre existing heart condition. (Atrial fibrillation) but I don’t know if I should. I gained so much weight in the last few years and its something I want to take control of I just don’t know where to begin! Thank you for your videos and knowledge!!

Thanks for this video, very insightful! I have IBS and at first I felt like I couldn’t eat any foods because I’m also highly sensitive and allergic to many other foods, 🤦🏻♀️ but there is so much out there and all it took was experimenting and I feel so much better! 😁
How about tibicous mushroom or kefir.does gain weight mam?
Excellent information! Thank you!!!
Omg this is me, I’m 18 years old currently 5’9.5 and abit over 10 stone, I used to be 12 stone and lost weight as I was obsessed with sugary drinks to replace food, I got to 9.5 stone after a year before binge eating on excessive carbs and sugars, I still get fatigued and I was told by doctors I have a low thyroid, I’m not sure what to do
What would you recommend for hypothyroid, insulin resistant, and if my gallbladder is removed? What’s the best diet for me?
Gluten and dairy intolerance cause leaky gut, which causes them to enter the blood stream, where the immune system cannot differentiate between the gluten and dairy molecules and thyroid cells and so it destroys the latter too. That's basically Hashimotos thyroiditis.
Those with sluggish thyroids should cut out dairy.
Also dairy contains a lot of estrogen.
Hey christine! what does it mean if I had a IR test that came back 'normal' but I have all signs of IR?
What about not eating process food except from ezekiel 1 pc bread and 2 cups of grapes or 2 kiwi before bed and 2 ounces nuts before bed. Then vegetables ( baked sweet potato zuchini cauliflower cabbage carrots for lunch and dinner paired with protein no rice. Is that bad as well? Is that considered bad? Im always exceeding in my carb intake
Barbie Lee it’s not about good or bad, it’s about what is appropriate for your goals. It sounds like you know how much you should be eating but if you are going over you would do best with one of our 4 week custom meal plans where we will build a plan around your macro goals using foods you like and not including any items you do not enjoy. Let me know if you would like more info ✔️
God bless you lady thanks 🙏
Its sp sad that i eat too much carbs because of fruits and veggies and sweet potato thrice a week. Also the only processed food i eat are either (1 slice of ezekiel bread or tumaro wrap during lunch time). still have most of this signs in me. Bloated, cravings for sweet thats why i eat fruit instead.
I am in a very bad place since last April and my appetite has grown up immensely :( I feel hungry all the time, I am never full and I am aware how dangerous is this but I cannot stop it :( Help please!

I think I'm eating too many carbs and it has been affecting my skin. I stay away from white bread most of the time but that's about the the only high GI food I don't eat regularly. Which programme would you recommend?
Try the keto diet...
I love potatoes so much. 🤦🏿♀️
Brandi Phillips potatoes make some incredible foods!!
Try purple potatoes🙂
So do carbs include fruits vegetables? Because since I have changed my diet I have been consuming a lot more fruits and vegetables and I’ve noticed my skin has been angry
antwoman yes fruit and vegetables count
I have insuline resistance and for me its kind of hard to lose fat, I also eat like "binging" and I want to stop it asap :(
Do check your thyroid also...and if you have hypothyroid avoid gluten and dairy.
Meera 25 thank you
@@ivannalopez9827 also sugar and soy... You're welcome
I ate one sweet potato the other day and I felt beat up! I guess my limit is quite low.
I do have a massive weakness for sweet things. I find that even when I'm counting my macros and sticking to clean eating for several weeks, sweet cravings is something I have not been able to shake off which bothers me cuz it leads me to eating desserts and then I feel like my blood sugar fluctuates and I need to have more dessert.
You should try making paleo or keto desserts that helps me cuz I love desserts 🤦♀️😭 they're usually lower in carbs and sugar
@@itsmesasha9825 I did try that, but it doesn't always hit the spot. My body wants the sugar! Lol
Hyperglycemia is different from DM type 2
Does Acanthosis nigricans do not count?
Hey. Is it true that carbs fats accumulate in legs?
Sara Alshoufi no lol
All over...
Wow I experienced so many of this things while being vegan/vegetarian 🤦🏻♀️
Well at least I'm aware now! The vegans on yt all say how not to worry about enough protein, and that carbs are good..
And now I'm here 😂👌
tenku very much best 💕💕💕👍🏼
Starbucks coffee and bread 🥖 I have been eating everyday unfortunately because I need a comfort food! Since my miscarriage four months ago, and I have gained 40 pounds I need help!😢
Message me on Instagram @gaugegirltraining to chat
ty
type 2 is caused by insulin resistance. Combining too much fat with carbs, the fats dull the insulin receptors, and you arent as insulin sensitive
how much is too many carbs because i have most of the problems in this video but i eat whole foods and don't eat more than 90g of carbs everyday, i make sure it's about below 60-70g, can some things in this video because from under eating, i'm trying to recovery from a ed and i only eat 600-700 cals a day so is that my problem as well. (btw i have a big fear of carbs and sugar)
ZoeLovesU it sounds like you would be a good candidate for our low carb high fat protocol based off of your feedback. DM me on Instagram @gaugegirltraining if you want to chat more in depth
90g of carbs is fine. I think going lower is just going to make you more obsessed with eating.
@@uyenieccu yes i have a really bad habit of obsessing with food, i'm trying to recovery from a eating disorder
I am in a prediabetic stage and have no idea how to change my diet before it’s too late! Help!
Start by cooking everything you eat and tracking it. Once you see how many each macro is start to lower the carbs by 5% and increase either the protein or fats each time.
Track your food... Carbs 5% (20 gms or less), Protein 20-25% the rest in natural, healthy Fats. I was also prediabetic, keto is the way.
Carley B how tall are you and what’s your weight and age?
gaugegirltraining I am 5’1 and 180
Also 21
I am going to be living in Mozambique for two years where the stable and affordable foods are cassava and rice. While there should be plenty of vegetables and fruits available during parts of the year, and dried fish is available as a protein (I don't eat non-fish meat), what steps can I take in order to maintain a healthy and not too carb-heavy diet?
Jonė Bačinskaitė are you comfortable with tracking macros or would you prefer to meal plan using the foods you have access to?
@@gaugegirltraining I don't really have experience with tracking macros, and I probably won't be able to use scales and similar stuff to measure, so I would prefer the latter option
In a vegan diet everything has carb and brings bloated belly. How can this be fixed?
Zucchini fries 👍
I challenge her to help me get a flat stomach!! Haha
Gluten is so evil for me, it
makes my stomach hurt , bloated and I get skin bumps on my arms. Low carb is the only way to eat for me.
Gluten and dairy intolerance also cause leaky gut, which causes them to enter the blood stream, where the immune system cannot differentiate between the gluten and dairy molecules and thyroid cells and so it destroys the latter too. That's basically Hashimotos thyroiditis.

Also dairy contains a lot of estrogen.
Uum... Insulin resistance is too much fat blocking insulin receptors. Treating it with a low carb diet risks causing diabetes. You can lower blood glucose by lowering carbs but you're making the problem worse. You SHOULD be able to eat carbs without insulin resistance. And you can do that with a low fat diet. Not everyone is the same though. People should monitor themselves while trying various diets. And starches RAISE serotonin. Everyone knows about low carb bitchiness...for that reason. This is so well known that I wonder how anyone can possibly say that carbs lower serotonin with a straight face. There's even a book called Potatoes Not Prozac for dealing with depression. I notice though that you don't differentiate between sugar carbs and starches. This is a HUGE error. Sugar is poison, true that, but starches are our food. We've been eating them for two million years. And they do not make us fat until we eat them with FAT. See Okinawans, who used to eat 85% of their diet as sweet potatoes and are the longest lived, thin, people ever recorded. But body building isn't about longevity anyway, is it... It's for short term appearance. Believe me, I lament this fact every day.
Breakfast: bread,Lunch rice,dinner rice =poison.
hi.. can i have your earrings.. 😊😊😊
