Hey everyone! Today, we’re reviewing the What I Eat in a Day (WIEIAD) from Glucose Goddess, aka Jessie Inchauspé, the content creator behind the blood sugar balance trend. 🚨 Jessie has built a massive following by promoting ways to manage glucose spikes, stabilize insulin levels, and prevent energy crashes, but are her recommendations really backed by science-based nutrition? In this video, I’ll break down her meal choices, discuss the potential risks of micromanaging blood sugar, food fears, and restrictive dieting. Let’s separate fact from fiction!

Covering her claims and being sponsored by literal bread was a highkey power move and I'm living for it
😘
Power move or conflict of interest? 🤔
@@d53380maybe if ALL of abbeys videos were sponsored by bread this would be a reasonable question. Try again.
@@d53380😂
What's the conflict? She is not ditching on bread or carbs... @@d53380
Eating a savory breakfast is a hack I discovered myself before the glucose goddess. I did it because I was so addicted to sweets. I woke up thinking pancakes, French toast, sweet bread and the like. Getting away from sweet breakfast is what helped me break the sugar habit. I finally feel I’m in control not the sugar.
My favorite savory breakfast, which I make a couple hours before I’m going to hike or go to the gym, is savory oats! I do steel cut oats with garlic, onion, bacon or ham, and spinach or kale, and top with a fried egg. It’s so good. I’ve even made it with red quinoa and that works too. What’s your fave savory breakfast?
@ That breakfast sounds delicious and interesting. I gotta try IT. I have a few favorites but my very favorite is a small fillet of fried salmon , fried egg and a spring salad. I also like a small bowl of black beans topped with scrambled eggs , cream and salsa.
@@thelordismyshepherd1366 Girl you are a legend cause salmon for breakfast would make me feel like womitting for the rest of the day! I actually enjoy rice poridge - coconut and dark chocolate. Yes it has quite a bit of suggar but its actually very filling made with mild and I donť feel like I have glucose spike, I make it at work like 2,5 hours after waking up. Could be potentially a snack option?
@@gabibr99 your breakfast sounds delicious. I would defensively try for a snack or even for breakfast once in a while would be ok for me. 👍
I’ve been watching the glucose goddess. So far I haven’t heard her say cut out sugar entirely. She simple says eat what you like in a specific order and your sugar levels will improve. For those of us who are struggling with insulin resistance, this is a great doable hack. I don’t understand the hate.
I don’t think it’s hate, definitely a reality check because this kind of reductive mindset can be so detrimental for those of us struggling with EDs or ED tendencies. Abbeys content really helps to put things into proper perspective!
@ ok, I get your point. But then it is comparing apples and oranges.
Again, Abbey found a way to take things out of context, which is disappointing. I myself struggle with insulin resistance and after loosely following this guideline for only a month I saw real results in my blood work. The thing is Glucose Goddesses never sais you have to do all of these things all of the time, but gives an array of strategies to help with managing blood sugar, for you to choose the most suitable at mealtime.
@ Exactly! I have a difference in my blood work too using her strategies ! I find her strategies helpful and easy to do!
@@oripii I think the issue of EDs is they are far more rare than Abbey makes out, you are more likely to develop a gambling addiction than an ED, but she frames it that any and all forms of dieting will 100% cause a problem with food.
I just can't... the amount of time, mental capacity, effort, energy and money it takes to be like this with your diet and lifestyle just screams privilege and all it does is makes you feel worse about yourself 💯
I know...people forget that mental health is just as important as physical health
It`s not the bread or wheat it 's how much you intake daily.
As someone with hypoglycemia she's been a lifesaver. Remember, everyone is different. Not everyone can just eat whatever and be fine.
@Suriel44 That is very true I'm pre diabetic I have to be mindful....all I'm saying is there is a difference btwn being intentional and obsessive
LOL!! Is this what you call hard?? Eat less processed food, go for a quick walk after a meal, include ACV in your water once a day. THAT'S NOTHING! Your comment reeks of first-world-problem....😅
Who else is loving the pony tail
Why thank you!!
Yes! I was trying to figure out how she did it, is it just a simple twist? Someone tell me.
Her videos are actually very helpful for people like me with type 1 diabetes. And I can say that results were real and measurable since I have to check my blood sugar several times a day.
I'm happy it works for you, but she is talking to the general population who is not restricted by a health condition. It is still great that she can help those with diabetes (who are so many times confused by contradicting advice).
@@cydhvib sure it's obviously more useful to people with diabetes, with insulin resistance, etc but I think some advice can be applied for the general population, like eating a salad before a glucose heavy meal (holidays for exemple) or having sugar treats at the end of the meal as dessert and not in the middle of your morning or evening. We all know we eat way more sugar than we should and prediabetes is more and more common these days.
Also I would point out that this video did cut some moments where GG was being more nuanced.
@manaji I was being polite trying to show how irrelevant your point is to the critique of the video based on its premises using intuitive eating.
Your comment is a case of "what about me syndrome," so let me be clear: Abbey is talking about oranges, and you're talking about lemons. Both are critruses, but still not the same thing. Discussing guidelines for the general public using personal anecdotes and opinions is throughly unproductive.
Anyways I was in the wrong for trying to make that clear. The medium is the message in a comment section, after all.
Abby this hair, lip, blazer combo looks so good on you! 🧡 Thanks for coming to the defense of carbs. People have such an all or nothing idea of health and it’s exhausting
I'm so glad I found your channel. This additive approach has worked so much better for my lifestyle than labeling foods I enjoy as "bad" and cutting them out completely. That's just not sustainable for me, or most people I dare say. Life is too short - I'm going to enjoy my carbs without any guilt.
100%! Its so hard to shake off that food guilt but once you do… 🎉🎉🎉
It’s amazing how I feel way less guilt with the additive approach. If I add some protein and fiber with my sweet treat, I’m fully satisfied and don’t need to over eat! Thanks Abby!
Have you read her books? I feel like this video is misrepresenting her recommendations. She is not anti fruit whatsoever- not sure where you got that. Many of her recipes (including breakfast) include fruits. And many recipes also include carbs, even bread and potatoes, they’re just combined with fats and proteins. Your recommendations honestly align 90% with hers.
There are a few parts of the video thats been cut out and puts her in a bad light, kind of shame. Glucose Goddess has great recommendations and is worth exploring independently!
I don’t know Glucose Godess, never heard of her, but watching this i can tell you this - years ago i worked with a naturopath for my chronic migraines, and the plan she recommended for me sounds a lot like GG. No sugar on an empty stomach is key for me, as is the savoury breakfast. i will 💯 get a very bad headache if i eat anything sweet until very late in the day. Fruit is ok in moderation. Otherwise i don’t skip meals and most meals include protein. Haven’t had an actual migraine in over 20 years.
Yes. I have watched some of her videos and she is not anti-fruit. She just recommends eating the whole fruit to get the fibers, instead of drinking juice, and combine fruits with a protein, like a nut butter, to get full and avoid sugar spikes.
@@marikarembetissa4870 exactly!
I find so much of her advice to be reductive and unsustainable, so I am loving the commentary here, where you contextualize the good and challenge the bad. 👍🏼
♥♥
Glucose Goddess would have zero issue with berries with your breakfast. You need to watch more of her content.
She's confusing then 😅
RUclips relentlessly pumps Glyewcose Goddess into my feed. Anyone else?
Glucose….
@@natalieeubank4533😂
It is probably u popping into watching her videos cuz she readily has normal followers who would not get brainwashed by the hype alike
@@natalieeubank4533 I'm mocking the way she pronounces the word.
Probably the same for the people in the comment section, coz look at the number of comments supporting GG’s pseudo-science vs Abbey’s nuance and actual science. They’re actually saying that GG isn’t obsessive and has “hacks” and not rules, when she constantly talks about insulin spikes while not being diabetic, and has a ton of do’s and don’t’s. Someone actually wrote that Abbey has an agenda, because she is sponsored by bread😂
If you check out the Glucose Goodness video, she emphasizes the importance of having berries in the morning. She also talks about thoughtfully dressing our carbs for a healthier lifestyle even if you missed it.
Not all of what Jessie says is wild. She just takes it too far in advocating for restrictions on carbs
I don't think Glucose Goddess is suggesting people dissect their mixed foods or get too unreasonable. I actually have found her content (and Abby's content) really helpful and I don't think she is expecting anyone to re-haul their lives over her suggestions. I think we can listen to both people and take the best from each :)
The GG has been incredibly helpful in helping me manage type II Diabetes and personally I don't find her at all restrictive.
Worrying about normal temporary rises in blood sugar in healthy individuals is similar to being concerned about forms of exercise that cause temporary rises in heart rate!😀
Hahah nailed it 👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah, its normal for your blood sugar to rise after you eat then go down after a while. In a healthy person.
Majority of America are obese over 60% of kids are on the rise to develop type 1 diabetes.. I am insulin resistant. Something as simple as one cookie will make my blood sugar rise and give me heart palpitations. Glucose goddess methods have been a life saver
@@lmt667260% of kids are not on the path to developing type 1 diabetes. I have no idea where you got that from, but that is completely untrue. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. Around 0.5% of Americans have type 1 diabetes.
I am curious about her claims that ANY glucose spike is bad. The exageration is what got me off her page completely.
She actually says the opposite of this in the actual video. She mentions trying to balance the spikes, stay more stable.
I think its important to understand her hacks are geared towards people who want to control their blood sugar, not that its unhealthy if that makes sense! As a newly diagnosed diabetic who is trying to reverse, things like oats for breakfast isnt unhealthy! But its awful for blood sugar :( xx
I was really lost when I was diagnosed with diabetes last year, with so much conflicting information - even from my nutritionist. I found Glucose Goddess, and she simplified an approach that helped and was easy to incorporate into my daily routine. Her no nonsense tips also cut through all the conflicting info and dire warnings. I also started working with a naturopath, who reinforced several of the tips from the Green Goddess, and helped me with supplements to balance my system and get it working with me. Good luck - it can be daunting at the beginning. But, it's possible to get stabilized and then feel normal and less afraid.
I completely disagree with this review. The Glucose Goddess video is clearly catered to people who are struggling to be healthy and insulin resistance has proven to be at the core of obesity, overweight or other metabolism problem. I am a dietitian myself and have been helping out people who are trying hard to lose excess fat, reduce inflammation etc. Everything Glucose Goddess is recommending is spot on and I don't understand why Abbey chose to bash a completely researched and well rounded advice
I completely disagree with your comment. The comment is clearly catered towards people who view things in black or white terms, and nuance is the biggest killer of that. 😂🥳
As a non oat “milk” fan, I will forever be calling it “starch juice” or “pasta milk” 😂 But this woman and I are not on the same page on carbs and fruit for breakfast.
I love the whole “dressing up” foods! Carbs are heart healthy- they help me run!! I also love Abbey’s hairstyle in this video 🩷
I know we're supposed to be kind, but I find Glucose Goddesses' rhetoric unsettling
the savory vs sweet breakfast is SUCH a personal thing - i tried savory for a very long time after a lifetime of sweet (i'm italian so sweet breakfast is just the norm here) and it made me feel SO weighed down, sluggish and bloated, even when nutritionally i was kind of trying to keep the same balance of proteins vs carbs! Sugars just really help me get that initial energy boost at the start of the day, and a nice big bowl of greek yogurt with honey and nuts and whole wheat toast with some spread on it really just keeps me full enough to only start getting hungry around lunchtime without feeling like i'm too full to move even though calorically i probably ate the same amount!
I'm the same. I used to force myself to have savoury breakfast because healthier yada yada but I ended up just being sluggish, not really energised and most importantly not satiated. I sometimes ended up "closing" my savoury breakfast ceremony with a chocolate biscuit lol I'm back to my carb-breakfast with oats, fruits and nut butters and love it so much!!
Greek yogurt with honey and nuts with whole wheat bread is a savory breakfast, I can tell without you even saying it that you aren’t Americans. What we grow up eating as a sweet breakfast would be like if you ate cake for breakfast.
@@Chaiilatte84 i get what you're saying - cultural differences and all - but that just doesn't compute to me, mentally! It tastes sweet! Yogurt with honey is sweet, and so is a jam/hazelnut spread over toast!
@@Chaiilatte84
You havent been to Italy, have you?
Whats described here isn't that sweet, but there is plenty of "breakfast" pastries dripping sirup, that also are part of Italys coffe and pastry breakfast tradition.
I love sweet, but couldnt stomach those.
Italians know how sweet works ;)
(It might be that they know to limit it, too, I cannot speak on that. But there are those incredibly sweet breakfasts)
Bottom line: unless your diabetic or insulin resistant, YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT BLOOD GLUCOSE!! JEEZ...let alone the fear mongering GLUCOSE SPIKES!!! 😱😑🙄
yup
This is not true. Pre-diabetes is an epidemic in the US and western countries. If you ACTUALLY listen to the Glucose Goddess in context she DOES NOT fear monger and explains why it's so important.
@@marissachapman4078🙄
@@marissachapman4078 But getting to the prediabetic stage is still something people who don’t already deal with weight or blood sugar concerns don’t have to worry about. Take her advice if you need it, but trying to push it as a lifestyle or answer to health issues is just creating another generation of ‘fats are bad!’
@@marissachapman4078but she is
shes got so many healthy and young french people talking about "avoiding glucose spikes" here, i hate it 😭 i'm trying to recover from an ed but everyone is suddenly obsessed with glucose spikes and parroting what she says man i'm just trying to enjoy my carbs, i'm sure her advice is really good for people with blood sugar problems but i wish she hadn't gotten so popular among people who don't need to care so much about this
Exactly, I'm sure she's very helpful for people who need accomodations not for already healthy people
I am SO proud of you for working on recovery!! That’s so wonderful ❤
Best thing you can do for your recovery is to recognize that YOUR TRIGGERS are YOUR problem, sincerelly a recovered anorexic.
Balanced, realistic commentary from a fellow RD, good job
This hairstyle is so cute Abby! Absolutely love the ponytail
😘
As a south indian i dont know any other way than eating a savory breakfast 😂 glucose goddess has been around for a few decades but our method of eating savory breakfast has been around for centuries 😂😂😂 ❤
What does a typical breakfast look like for you?
@katyowens3119 quite a few. I can name them since explanation for each will be very long (may be you can Google or RUclips search it?) . So here it goes "idly and vada (accompanied by sambar and chutney), dose (accompanied by mint, coconut, tomato chutney and or stirfried potato with spices), uppittu (made from wheat semolina)(also there r different kinds of uppittu), avalakki (made from flattened rice with peanuts onions etc), Akki and Ragi rotti, Adai (pancakes made with lentils), pongal just to name a few. Thank you for your curiosity I like it 😊❤️
There have been numerous comments on the video you did on GG two years ago explaining that the hacks are nothing like "specific militant rules" as you call them here. In fact, in this same WIEIAD video from French Vogue, Jessie says "The hacks are not a diet that you can fail at. They're like little fairy godmothers that you keep in your pocket and that you use when it's easy to use them. But if at any point this is stressful, then just don't do it. Take care of yourself." For some reason you left this out of your critique. Likewise, she is not anti-carb and has said many times that there are ways to eat oatmeal and fruits for breakfast by using the "clothe your carbs" hack and adding protein and fat (the same thing as your HCCs that you are also trying to promote). She's not anti-bread, just avoids it unclothed at the start of the meal for the same reason. She never tells people they need to cut out sugar and explains how she loves her chocolate cake. In the video you cut out the follow-up in the Vogue Kitchen where she suggests swaps that I think you'd approve of which are very close to the HCC advice. I value the lens you generally provide for those of your audience members who have or are recovering from EDs. But GG's advice is aimed at anyone who wishes to control their blood sugar. They have helped me reverse my prediabetes in just a few weeks, by following some of the hacks, some of the time. I only found out that I had prediabetes a few months ago, and since trying these out I've had the most balanced stable energy of my life. My father has Type 2 diabetes and learning more ways about how we can reduce glucose spikes is really helpful. We were disappointed to learn from his glucose monitors that yes, even well-clothed oatmeal does cause a spike for him, but we both still eat it when we want to and oat milk is still my go-to. We weren't always prediabetic or diabetic and got this way mainly from how we ate which we need to learn how to change. I think in the big picture it will certainly do more good than harm for most people to learn how to make whatever small changes they like in order to eat in a way that manages their blood sugar levels, especially when most people may not even know how insulin resistant they are. The reality is that because of the way the food industry is designed with sugar in everything to get us addicted, the majority of people can benefit from this advice. So, to my mind the severe callout tone of your videos on GG is a disappointing and unwarranted misrepresentation of someone else's work.
@@maryammadani5626 finally someone said it! I know it's common practice on RUclips but the way she cut out most of the parts where GG was being more nuanced or proposing alternative really doesn't sit well with me, she purposely making her look bad so she can disagree with her.
If you actually listened to what she teaches all of your critical comments are already addressed by her.
Love your hair! Great video I watched this glucose goddess video a few weeks ago and thought about what you would say and it helped me sift through the BS. Also loving your podcast so happy you’re spreading your knowledge out further.
Usually I do not leave comments, but this time I felt otherwise.. I think both - Abbey's and Glucose Goddess' - point of views should be taken with a grain of salt. Especially if both people have their own agenda to follow (including all these sponsorships Abbey is having, for instance, selling bread). Also, it is interesting you left out the part of Glucose Goddess video where she is saying: but if you really want a tasty cookie, buy it but it is better to have it as a dessert. I think if you took more time to understand her, you would learn that she is not saying one should follow all these hacks (you see them as "rules" probrably) strictly, all the time. These are hacks, not rules. She is saying herself in her videos that it is not always possible to follow these hacks and it is totally okay. No one should obsess too much about these things. She also says, it is fine to eat chocolate or other sweets, in fact, she loves chocolate herself... Also the same with enjoying a mixed meal - it is completely understandable that it is not always possible to eat veggies first, then protein, etc, just man should make sure it is not just pure carbs but as a Hunger Crushing Combo. So yeah, unfortunately, it makes me question if you really have taken the time to understand her or you just select videos of her that fit with your own agenda..
Ah yes, Abbey with a scientific nutrition 4-year degree and masters and license has an “agenda,” while Glucose Goddess with no scientific degrees, peddling nonsense like blood sugar spikes in healthy people and “hacks” are more trustworthy, gotcha.
The “savory pastry” thing made me say “HA!” So loud it startled my cats
For reference, I had followed strict macro counting & other meal plans outlined by a fitness brand I followed for 15 years or so. I found your channel refreshing & took the leap to use the guidance I learned from you. While I found empowerment through this lifestyle change, I unfortunately gained 20 pounds. I went to my primary care for workup thinking there was something medical. Per chance, Glucose Goddess appeared in my feed. I applied the things I learned & the weight started to come off, I felt satiated, had less sugar cravings, less migraines, & more energy - despite continuing the same diet. I continue to use what I've learned from the both of you that I feel are complementary. What I do know, is carbs are not demonized. Carbs are not restricted. But, higher fiber/protein or fermented (sourdough) are suggested. I remember watching this video before & thinking, "Abbey isn't going to like that." But the premise, is still to eat what you want, but her example for herself was focused on the science of choosing savory (or sometimes fat/protein) items to be more satiating. Anti-spike is also not suggested for every meal. My particular takeaway wasn't that carbs are bad, but there seems to be a method to enjoy them if that is the path one so takes. And if it's a sandwich, bowl, etc the advice was to eat as is - it's not practical to take it apart.
So you basically agree with her.
As a type 1 diabetic….doing chores also makes your numbers drop if its high lol. Start vacumming and BAM! Lower numbers lol
The sponsor of the video properly cracked me up 🤣🤣
Anti-carb people had influenced me to almost quit carbs completely. I realized that I had not had a slice of bread or some oatmeal for months. I also probably did not have much fiber other than salad. I realized that I had gone too far.
I absolutely love your content it is so accurate and I’m just super here for it 🎉❤!
Your hair is such a slay in this video
A French avoiding bread is the kind of thing I never thought I would see
@@veryfrenchtoast5021 she not saying you should avoid it entirely, just at the start of the meal
Okay 10/10 information, but can we talk about your blazer and lipstick color? They suit you so much!
Also love that mug!
The hairstyle ❤
💖
I love some of her blood sugar balancing tips, like for example, eat a well balanced meal followed by sweets. However, I love that you made this video. Its important to understand it doesnt have to be all or nothing with your diet... i did the keto diet and it led to an eating disorder. Im FINALLY finding myself again by eating more intuitive, just making sure to eat balanced meals. Thank you for this!!❤
Appreciate this post so much❤ I love how you challenged a lot of her ‘advice’ which honestly seemed quite extreme/disordered. I think her overall message is good, but she’s made food seem like something that needs to be obsessively controlled & this doesn’t seem healthy or sustainable at all :(. Sadly I followed her advice for a while, but it lead me down a bad path which I’m worried others may be influenced by too. I’m so grateful I came across your channel before it was too late, p.s- it’s never too late ❤
I love how Abby caters to the young views. Her type of advice of a “balance nutrition “ does not apply to everyone but is a more popular opinion.
I absolutely love an Abbey Sharp video! Thank you for making these fun and informative videos! 💕
Preach Queen. I’m so glad you do what you do.
I also learned so many things from your channel years ago that I continue to implement and remind myself of day to day when I’m having bad body image days.
I literally eat the way you taught us to. Because some of us need the empathy & holistic thinking instead of the black and white thinking.
I love you Abbey. I have suffered from ED because of following people by categorizing things into good and bad foods and Glucose Goddess does that, it's making me really uncomfortable and brings me back to dark days. I follow your approach: Adding and not substracting and see more and more dietitians and nutritionists (like Kylie Sakaida, she's also lovely like you) proposing the same approach and it brings me back to a light space. I can't have savoury breakfasts, I just don't like it and I "forced" myself to have it but felt never satiatied because it didn't taste good. So after the savoury breakfast I ended up eating a sweet biscuit or something just to fill that spot!!
Now I have my bowl of oats, with berries, bananas and nut butter and I'm in a happy place and feel satiated and good!
This what I eat in a day was very elitist too, most people don’t live this way. We cook, we order in, we are in a hurry a lot… that’s why Abby is so important here on RUclips.
Don't forget that Glucose Goddess is French and they famously have a slower focus on food, so that aspect is likely cultural and I think it is unfair to critique it.
@ oh okay, I did not know this, I know nothing about her outside of this video.
In Europe, particularly the Med, people spend a lot of time on cooking and enjoying meals. Food isn't rushed.
Abbey is constantly pushing the HCC but I've been watching for about a year and I'm only just now getting the hang of it lol
As someone who struggles with low blood sugar, I don't get how "controlling blood sugar" always means lowering it. My controlling blood sugar looks like me trying to keep it up.
I would go crazy in one day eating only savoury food
This whole video is taking the glucose goddess's hacks recommendations out of context on purpose. If you'd actually researched her approach to eating you'd find that she recommends using the hacks when it is comfortable and fits your lifestyle, she even said herself that she sometimes doesn't use the hacks for several days/weeks in a row. Also, Anti-Spike is not recommended to use for every meal. She never said to cut out carbs or sugar entirely or that food is "good" or "bad", she simply approaches food in tems of it's blood sugar response in the body, which is scientifically proven. Her channel is obviously about blood glucose hence the focus on the topic.
I recently discovered that coffee with dairy inhibits the absorption of the coffee’s antioxidants. I know use nut milk cream and a small amount of good maple syrup is wonderful!
This has recently been proven wrong - adding milk to coffee helps bind the antioxidants to the proteins which increases absorption.
Thank you for this. Can you clarify what the deal is on blood sugar control & why one would not want to spike if not diabetic? If we are just trying to build muscle and lose fat, should we be concerned about glucose spikes? And why? How are weight loss and these spikes related?
Repeatedly high, sustained spikes over time can lead to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance then eventually worsens and turns into type 2 diabetes.
The spikes lead to our pancreas releasing insulin, which lowers the blood sugar level. Often there is an over compensation, and the blood sugar drops quite low. This creates the urge to eat again, often driving us to seek out sweet foods for a quick response to the low blood sugar level. This becomes the blood sugar "roller coaster" where we tend to eat more frequently and consume more calories than we need.
When on the roller coaster, it is super hard to control our food choices with willpower. When blood sugar levels are more steady, cravings for sweets are not as strong, and foods with higher nutrition are more naturally appealing and satisfying. It's easier to sense actual hunger over just a desire to eat.
Hope that is helpful.
Omg free croissants for life 🥳 I‘m gonna relocate from Switzerland to Canada immediatetly
Thanks abby. Some people make carbs sound like a grave monster.
Her advice is very very common advice for diabetics and insulin resistance as you mentioned. Anyone with pcos as well will benefit. But its really very common knowledge to have if you have these conditions. Not really the big "discovery" kind of information..
Love this common sense talk about these food rules. Abbey, will you watch Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix? Would love a video with your thoughts on some of the themes in it.
I don't religiously watch this channel anymore but i love this channel. i've been applying the things i learned for a couple years now and i'm just so grateful for the empathetic approach that Abbey has. so many nutrition youtubers seem rational but then make you feel like you're doing something bad for your body with little habits you might have or foods you might like. gentle nutrition & hunger crushing combo, that's all you need. thanks Abbey!
edit: i'm at the end of the video... WHAT?? Even light drinking significantly increases cancer risk??!? I gotta research that some more, oh god i gotta tell my friends to stop drinking
Hi Abbey! I'm super curious about the 'order' of eating certain foods. So if starting with fibre/vegetables to start slowing down digestion etc, does this actually have any effect I you eat say carbohydrates like seconds or minutes later?
@LaniGirard Yes it does, I have type 1 diabetes and eating vegetables before carbs really does make a difference when I check my glucose monitor. Fermented vegetables like kimchi are even more efficient too, it's kind of amazing!
It suxks finding Chanels like glucose goddess when I am trying to create healthy meals for my type 1 love ones
I think a more productive way to talk about this kind of stuff would be to just cut straight to the concepts of glycemic index and glycemic load- as a pre diabetic its important for me to understand that things like whole milk will have a better impact on my blood sugar and insulin than oat milk which has a much higher glycemic index. I think referring to these things just as "starchy" and "sweet" is counterproductive because plenty of carby foods are low GI. Berries and pitted fruits and great for blood sugar control and sourdough and rye breads are great for the gut and don't spike blood sugar. It's also true that high GI foods can have adverse affects on people who are not insulin resistant. I think her overall philosophy is good and it's important for people to understand the importance of stable blood sugar (I am "healthy-looking" and "thin" and still struggle with blood sugar no matter what I do, and it's a very uniquely American and very harmful misconception that only bigger people struggle with insulin resistance and weight is a perfect indicator of health and nutrition and I think many people who appear healthy by American standards would be shocked by what's going on with their blood sugar) but she could be a lot more explicit about the concept of glycemic index and also let people know that not everything that tastes sweet or has starch will spike your blood sugar.
@@funnymonkey4456 she is more explicit in her own video though and she does recommend berries :)
First off, I love the glucose goddess and I actually find her hacks to be fairly doable. Secondly, I really like your HCC hack and I’ve actually lowered my A1c and fasting glucose a little by using it. At the end of the day, I think you both are saying mostly the same things. I love you both. ❤
When a supposed educated expert says NEVER/ALWAYS , they just lost me…
I normally like your videos, and I’ve never seen this “glucose goddess” person before so I have no idea what her content is normally like, but as someone who has lived with reactive hypoglycaemia since childhood… you don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to managing a metabolism like mine. If I start the day with carbs, I will spend the rest of the day trying to get my low blood sugar back up to functional levels so I don’t pass out. Oats are the most triggering for a hypoglycaemic episode so I definitely can’t eat them, and strangely so are eggs unless I have them with another form of protein and fat.
Maybe it’s more helpful if you comment on areas that you’re qualified to comment on instead of the specialist areas that don’t fit a “normal” mould, which you seem to be forcing everyone into.
Amen!
Abbey bends over backwards to cater to people with EDs and minimizes the needs and concerns of everyone else.
I haven’t commented on your criticisms of glucose goddess yet, but I’m so surprised at how overly critical of her you are. You belittle her as a content creator when she has a masters in biochemistry from Georgetown. You actually agree with her in a lot of this video, but nitpick over small details (maybe she just likes savory pastries). What I’ve taken away from a lot of GGs content is that if you’re going to eat sugar, you should eat that you like (aka- enjoy your food)and that if you can’t do every hack every time, don’t stress. She’s chosen to take on the topic of managing blood sugar, which is helpful because of the prevalence of prediabetes and type two diabetes in our society. She’s using science to guide her dietary choices, just as you are. But because you don’t agree with every little thing she does, you use it as a grab for content and views. Be better.
As you've stated in the past, chewing your food stimulates GLP1, is this just possible from chewing and ingesting food or can the same effect be generated by chewing Gum?
If so this could potentially become a problematic behaviour for ED sufferers...
@@jesssealey6552 gum is already somewhat problematic for those with ED because some chew it to reduce the urge of eating or they'll chew it obsessively because it burns calories (a very small amount but for those struggling with ED a calorie burned is a calorie burned)
Totally not related to this video, but the coral/orange color looks amazing on you! 👌🏻🤩
Your content is soooo down to earth. I love it so much! ❤
I would love your take on blood glucose causing high LDL cholesterol instead of saturated fats. I am so confused!
Hoping for an update on your alopecia journey. Do you post about updates anywhere besides RUclips?
This lady is wild. I watched her interview on Diary of a CEO. Imagine that when you eat carbs, your blood sugar goes up! Then! Your body secretes insulin in order to process the glucose! 😱 You mean…exactly what it’s supposed to do? Hmmmm…
@@nadiacoffey2609 sure but first her advice are good for people with insulin resistance disease and also there are more and more people with prediabetes because we do eat too much sugar, sugar is put everywhere by the food industry.
Its soo funny to me this video with the sponser chosen 🤣
Love this video so much! ❤
❤
Hi Abbey, thank you sooooooo much for this video! Love the debunking! Thanks for your work! Eventhough she has a Bachelor in Biochemistry, I would say she does not know anything about it. I have a PhD in Biochemistry and still I would never run around and say things as she does with confidence. Well done! Thanks again! Many greetings from a biomedical scientist!
she makes complete sense..how can you say she doesn't k own anything about it
@@marilync8133 thanks for your comment. Let's maybe agree on one note: if Glucose Goddess would do a good job and everything would make sense, Abbey would not need to make videos and explain to people what the actual mechanisms are. Science is never easy to explain and just leaving out the important details to fit ones narrative is a bit of a stretch. That is my opinion as a scientist. Reading and understanding papers requires critical thinking. And sometimes I have the feeling, that is missing in alot of influencers. Therefore I really appreciate Abbey's work here.
I'm a fan of both of you having reviewed lots of each of your content. Just a quick comment on your comment about her thinking it's not okay to have some berries with breakfast. She does think fruit with breakfast is perfectly fine due to the fiber content in fruit. She is not against plain fruit with a savory breakfast from the content I've seen from her. Love your content as well!
I endulge myself in a smoothie bowl in the morning, with cashew nuts, walnuts, quinoa flakes, honey and peanut butter and a little 85% dark chocolate as toppings. The smoothie bowl contains berries, bananas, joghurt and some of quark
Thanks again for this helpful information. ❤❤❤
You look like a Viking Goddess with that hair.
haha thank you!
Love this strategic sponsorship! 😂 Her claims bother me so much. I don’t want to make any claims as I’m not her doctor but anytime I watch glucose goddess shorts in my feed, the term orthorexia just keeps coming to mind. 🤔
I have significantly cut back on my wine intake…mostly will have a glass of I go out socially…I can go a few weeks without it…it’s hard tbh as it would just take the edge off with working with kids and having my own. But the new studies worry me and it’s with to try to cut back.
Lmao love how you have a bread ad here.
The same benefits from red wine are present in balsamic vinegar. No need for alcohol!
The sponsor choice is diabolical 😂
I'm sorry I don't mean to sound petty but I hate Glucose goddess's food rules 🤢
I hate all of her food rules 😵
Is our blood sugar level supposed to be flat all the time? Is that normal?
I'm allergic to oats but would enjoy the full fat milk lactose free latte 😊 but you do you 😊
Dear Abbey, your video/approach is indeed more nuanced and substantiated but also requires more creativity and intelligence. You approach people by handing out tools/frames and you give people options to chose. The glucose goddess helps people by giving them strict, simple and easy to follow rules. People don't have to think about it, but just simple apply her rules. It's not very difficult nor takes a lot of willpower to drink a glas of apple cider vinegar before a meal instead of drinking water or tea.
I am type 1 diabetic and following a relatively low carb diet at the moment. first of all she makes me laugh a lot talking about sugar spikes bcs my spikes are the like of more than 1g lol. But also I'am SUPER sensitive in the morning. My bloodsugar steadily gets lower during the night until midday to the paint that when I had a bit too much low acting insulin for my current diet, I could eat breakfast without taking insulin. Pls yall eat some carbs in the morning your body does need the energy
Scientifically you are right, but the Glucose Queens advise works for psychological reasons.... If I eat something sweet, I won't stop with the 1 chocolate croissant....Milk in coffee does not make me crave sweets, but a sweet breakfast would... It is not about being full, it is about my tongue telling me it wants to taste more of this sweet goodness. My tongue rarely tells me it wants to taste more eggs etc.
Love that you don’t just absolutely shit on her and destroy her (although you totally could👀), but gracefully break down her claims with real knowledge and education, while also even agreeing to some of her claims 🙏 🥰
Hi Abbey, Instagram is telling me I need to buy ARMA...Can we talk about it? As a labor and delivery nurse we talk a lot about how important colostrum is, and how it starts building our immune system, but why would I need that as a 35 year old?
I wonder if the increased cancer risk from alcohol is affected by moderate drinkers living longer which increases lifetime cancer risk
I stopped eating breakfast and I am not hungry as much. Most people don't need to eat three meals a day.
I hate the word “hack”. I’m so sick of hearing about new “hacks” for every part of our lives, especially eating. Half the hacks cancel out the other half and they all cause more harm than good by making people obsess about what they’re eating, possibly leading to disordered eating.
I think both channels are catering to different groups (with overlaps) and therein lies the nuance. Abbey, as an otherwise healthy person with a history of ED, looks at hard and fast rules and sees how a they could lead to disordered eating, and that's ok. It's true. But the other lady, talking to an audience that's specifically looking at ways to control their glucose, sees some "hard and fast" (in quotes because I dont think they are rules so much as incorporating "suggestions" or tips/hacks) rules as necessary, especially for an audience who needs them. It's nuanced, and both creators see it as such. Nuance, as we know, is the enemy of easy, short videos and "picking sides". So enjoy both creators and take from them what's helpful for you personally! They're both really saying the same thing; moderation, variation, and enjoyment are the keys to eating in a way you can sustain without feeling deprived.
I think that some of the tips included in the book are just unnecessary for healthy people. We should promote healthy balance as you do. I read the book and it was very interesing, however, we should take some things with a pinch of salt, so just enjoy your carbs even at the beginning of your meal.😅
Unrelated to your video, I dont like orange, but wow, this shade looks amazing on you!!!
@abbeyskitchen Have you looked into "non alcoholic" wines and how they compare, as a dietician? I'm so curious. apparently they have some of the health benefits but with just a very small amount of alcohol.
