    Your hair is so cute! by the way, I took a diabetic education class last year. The group got into this whole argument about whether we should eat bananas, and if we did, should they be green or brown or yellow, and then should we eat pineapple, and this went on for a few minutes. Finally, the diabetic education nurse just yelled, "Whoa! None of you are here because you ate too much fruit. Eat some fruit, period!" :D

      Banana's contain a higher level of potassium (K) which is often prescribed to patients with heart disease.
      According to Japanese studies ripe banana's (so partly brown) contain more antioxidants and cachectin which helps against infections. On the other hand ripe banana's contain far more sugars. The Japanese scientists advised patients with diabetes type-2 to consume ripe banana's with peanut butter. The fat in peanut butter slows down the in-take of the sugars and spreads it over a longer time span. Don't ask me whether it is tasty or not ...
      Green banana's can give you digestion problems, but they contain far more resistant starch which is comparably healthy to fibers in vegetables.

    I have just discovered your channel and have been binge-watching your videos for about 2hours now and I have 1 thing to say: THANK YOU! A thousand times thank you! I am at least 25kg over my "healthy BMI" and have been trying for 3 years to lose weight by adopting a healthy lifestyle but I failed continuously because I was confused by all the different and contradicting advice I found. I got so lost and food gave me even more anxiety than before. Your videos respect different lifestyle, focus on facts and balance... They are perfect! Thank you so much! I realize you probably won't see this comment as this video is a few months old and you have many viewers commenting, but just in case, I wanted you to know how helpful and wonderful you are! In terms of sugar-intake, your videos taught me knew things and here is what I've decided to do: 1) monitor my added sugar intake, 2) try to keep it in check by using a mix of coconut sugar and stevia I have bought recently (it's a 50-50 mix) and reducing (trying to eliminate gradually) processed foods that are high in sugar (starting with my morning granola wich contains 9g of sugar per serving which is too high according to your cereal video). Again: thank you! You have a new loyal viewer all the way from Belgium! :)

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  7 лет назад +5

      that is amazing, thank you! I am so glad you are enjoying the channel :) I know sometimes we can get lost in that food anxiety but it is possible to come out of it, and I think the way is by learning about food and nutrition! We don't need to tell ourselves no, we just need to learn HOW to incorporate those "scary" foods appropriately. So happy to have you in this community, welcome to the channel!

My mom is borderline diabetic, and she has been searching for a breakdown of sugars and sweeteners.

    @nervengewitter 8 лет назад +10

    Great overview! I really appreciate the effort you put into this and it went by really fast despite being longer than usual :) I will definitely point people to this when they argue that coconut sugar or honey "don't count" because they're natural sweeteners ;P. One thing I'd like to add: the sugar to fat conversion does happen, however if you are in a caloric balance (or even deficit), all of it is going to be burned again for energy. So as long as you stay within your caloric limit, you can't gain fat, even if you are over the RDA for sugar. Of course, a high-sugar diet makes it much easier to reach a caloric surplus, which will lead to weight gain.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 лет назад +2

      thank you :) Yes- this is a great point- I think a big problem though is that people don't realize that these sweeteners do count which adds calories and often puts people over their maintenance number. A lot of people don't want to acknowledge that this number of calories is real/exists- they want to think that if it's "clean" sources then we can eat anything, which just isn't the case. Macros still matter even if we don't track them.

I felt discouraged and misunderstood. I was looking for a straightforward, not a water-down version of the truth but wasn't harsh, sarcastic or judgemental. I have a lot of health problem including an unholy amount of allergies and I've been so overwhelmed with all the health blogs and RUclips food channels that all said different things.

    Thank you for having such a common sense approach to things!! When people who don't know how to read studies start screeching about things killing you, it makes me cringe - the amounts used in studies are almost always so much higher than what an average person would ever consume. Too much of anything - even necessary stuff like water, salt, vitamins - will hurt or even kill you! I was a biology major in college and I am so glad I have the skill to read a scientific paper - it's something I wish was required in schools, especially with the constant influx of news stories about studies that come to incorrect conclusions and lead to misinformation of the public. I digress though... Thank you for an awesome video!

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 лет назад +1

      Thank you :) I agree. lot of people really think their way is "right" for everyone, and will skew information to point to their preference. It's so important to do your own research and reading so you really know what's going on! :) Great point!

    @natashabantz4474 8 лет назад

    You are awesome and I am so glad you made and shared this video! I think most of us would really like to be better informed, but there is so much to sift through when it comes to opinions of what is "good" or "bad" and it becomes overwhelming. Your approach was great and very informative!

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 лет назад

      I totally agree! Through this channel, if there's anything I can tell from this amazing community it's that people WANT to be better, and want to know better, but they just don't know where to start or how to filter the information their bombarded with (most of which is very subjective). I really want this to be a place people can find objective information to encourage themselves to make the right choice for them!

    We have had enough time to know maple syrup and honey is perfect in moderation so I'll stick to that. (Maple syrup is way too sweet to eat in 1/4 cup anyway). Stevia tastes gross to me and also do all artificial sweeteners so I'll let my taste be the guide to what are meant to go in my body.

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  8 лет назад +1

      of course! Taste should totally be a guide to what's right for you! I agree, a lot of brands of stevia have a really bad aftertaste.

    I just started watching your channel a few days ago and I am honestly so grateful for your videos! I love that you don't use scare tactics to try to sway viewers to any one ingredient, and how you use facts and research to justify your choices or recommendations! It's so hard to find reliable information without getting lost in a bunch of jargon (and I'm in nursing school so if I find it confusing I can't imagine how difficult it would be without any background knowledge of the human body). I'm working on creating a healthier, cleaner, but not totally restrictive diet for myself and my fiancé and your channel has by far been the most helpful. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!

    • @MindOverMunch
      @MindOverMunch  7 лет назад

      :) Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment and feedback! Your observations are the exact reason I started this channel- I couldn't find a place that I felt accepted without taking on some sort of restrictive tendencies with food. I wanted to create a place of objective information, and acceptance of everyone's choices! I appreciate you being here and being a part of it. Welcome to the channel!

  • @mshockey73
    @mshockey73 8 лет назад +3

    I knew the day I gave up processed foods that I was on my way to a healthier lifestyle. As far as sweeteners go I use honey and sometimes maple syrup. I'm well within that 5-6 tsp limit per day:) Thank you for all that you do. I can really appreciate how much time & effort went into making this video. We're all getting a good education:))

    Just watched this video again after almost two and a half years. Still relevant, still a great source of neutral information. You make it easier to understand some of the things that are hard to put in words because it’s not a right/wrong, or if you will, black/white kind of topic. Being a nutrition student the most common questions I get is whether something is right or wrong, what’s best etc. Gah, I wish it was that easy! I’ve watched your channel for years, and to this day it’s one of my favorites! Please keep doing what you do, I for one love it!

      Yes! I would love this. What is the difference between pink, black, sea salt, table salt, etc.

    • @kezesz
      @kezesz 8 лет назад +5

      Not necessarily about that, but about sodium, it is bad it is good, how much is ok, what amount is considered too much etc.

    • @lachapis7674
      @lachapis7674 7 лет назад +5

      I actually know someone who had a seizure because she was drinking too many fluids and it flushed all the sodium out of her system. So yes it is important to have sodium in your diet, but consuming in excess is bad. Sadly I do not know what the daily recommended amount is.

  • @JB11334
    @JB11334 8 лет назад +8

    I use honey and brown sugar. I sometimes use coconut sugar and white sugar. I bake these muffins that my daughter and I eat for breakfast that contain half a cup of honey in the recipe. We literally eat them every morning. Is that ok?

    • @cmoore215
      @cmoore215 8 лет назад +9

      Based on what Alyssia shared in this video, I would say it's your call on what's "okay" for you. :) Also reducing sugar is pretty much always a good thing, so maybe explore alternatives if you feel up for it. I recently made these muffins & all their sugar comes from bananas and berries. They taste great! allrecipes.com/recipe/160124/no-sugar-added-blueberry-and-banana-wheat-muffins/

    • @khanyamills6563
      @khanyamills6563 8 лет назад +2

      I agree with Casey. Plus, half a cup of honey divided into 12 muffins comes to something like 2 teaspoons of sugar per muffin. Again, it's up to you

    I like plain ol' stevia... I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes... Dun.. Dun ... DUN!!! I'm over being depressed about it and am now taking charge of my diet. And have come to the conclusion that stevia works best for me. I also like the liquid form. One thing that Is my guilty pleasure is toast with a little honey and some sort of nut butter... Omg! Yum!!

I am learning a lot. This is my new binge channel.

    I'm so glad I found your channel. You have the best channel about food options I have seen and I troll (think slow motor boat not living under a bridge) around youtube a lot looking for suggestions. This is so well done and researched and well rounded. I appreciate your efforts! Your approach to eating helps me because it is DOABLE and realistic not extreme and full of deprivation. I have been working on making small changes over time that I can maintain and I aspire to your style. Now I am not sure I will ever like weights as much as you but maybe someday! For now I will stick to run-bike-swim outside!
