    I use stevia, monk fruit, and allulose because my sweet tooth trumps savory foods. If I used sugar every time I baked/ate something, my energy would crash and my dental health would careen downhill! Thank you for not demonizing them or saying that you automatically have food rules by using them. For me, they're a form of gentle nutrition.

    The thing is, if they help you calorie control and keep you satisfied rather than having cereal with a bunch of sugar and calories then they are absolutely healthy. Healthy is whatever you can stick to, to keep the weight off. I've been in the fitness industry for over a decade and absolutely preach, the best diet is the one you can stick to and magic spoon is an enabler for me so I absolutely consider it healthy.

    I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Applejacks! Unfortunately my doctor says I have a fatty liver and need to cut down on my sugar intake, and having a bowl of cereal is part of my morning, every morning. I decided to order some of this Magic Spoon cereal to find out if it works for me, as I absolutely do not want to have to eat Corn Flakes or something else unappealing every morning.

    • @thedouglaspodcast

      And? What’s the result? Lmaooo. Cinnamon toast was one of my faves! There’s a maple one t at stores like sprouts. Also some major grocers. MUCH healthier than MS. And wayyyy cheaper. Especially when it’s BOGO. That’s when I buy literally 6 boxes 🤣🤣🤣 so I can get 3 one hundred percent free. And it’s sooooooo good 😍😍😍 something maple. Brb to search.

      @@thedouglaspodcast I actually live in Canada, and while I'm sure there's a ton of overlap in the cereal selection here, it may differ in some regards. Still, you do have a point about seeking out locally available products that would cost less, and not have shipping costs. Maple is a favourite flavour of mine too, especially in cookies and on donuts. I'll have to look up maple flavoured cereals. I did not mind the new maple flavoured Frosted Flakes, but I don't think I should have that right now.
      I've also been somewhat curious about this brand of cereal though after seeing the ads, so I think this is partially somewhat of a curiosity thing, albeit one I had no reason to actually try until I had a reason for it, largely due to the previously mentioned cost factor.
      TBH my order has yet to arrive, and isn't due until the 30th, so I have some time before I find out whether I like it. It is something I am just trying, so if I don't love it, I don't have to continue with it, and will likely seek cheaper alternatives.
      I will also be following up with my doctor in the coming months, and with any luck, my liver will cease being fatty so I can go back to normal life, including having regular cereal every morning.

    Hey, love your videos, they have really changed my life! Could you please elaborate on why you shouldn't track protein? I've been doing intuitive eating for about a month and a half and I'm finally completely binge-free! However, I intensely strength train around 5 days a week and am still cautious about meeting my protein goals to build muscle. If I don't track protein, and specifically add high protein things that I don't specifically crave, even after I am full, I hardly ever meet anywhere near the recommended amount. How can I go about getting around this? I want to have even more food freedom but my goals are still important to me. Any advice would be appreciated.

      Hi - socieaty member here but not expert - but Colleen typically says that most people don’t need to track protein and we can go off of how we feel. And she also says to add protein to your meals, not necessarily looking at the grams but making sure there’s a protein source. However for someone who is doing way more strength training than the average person and your intentions for tracking protein are a bit different, I think it would be fine as long as it’s not obsessive

    Usually when I buy cereal, I go for the General Mills stuff by the bag, since it lasts longer. Would Magic Spoon be a good substitute for helping out with weight loss? 🤔

    I don't believe these "rules" will last, but for now I'm trying to make myself eat better, and trying to figure out what I can do long term and feel OK about, to keep my diabetes under control.

    my issue isn't that I like sweets. I kind of generally don't like sweet things but I need a VERY quick breakfast which I used to do with protein bars, usually GoMacro these days. If I had time I would prefer a fried egg with toast and maybe halal turkey bacon. Last week I was on holiday and didn't eat it, then also didn't find it in store and somehow I found myself feeling healthier by switching to a different bar that I had but which didn't taste as good. I want to know is it a good replacement for GoMacro or similar protein bars.

    Cheerios is not the same as having some maybe oats or granola with some fruits and yogurt. Even if the calories content is the same, one has much more nutrients that the other one, and less refined sugar
    Don't what to hate or anything, but "food is just food?" not all food is created equal, a BigMac is just food, calories, but is not healthy. Ye it has a ton of calories but this is not even the problem, it lacks nutrients. Fish also has a lot of calories, but it has nutrients.
    Chocolate, gummy bears, or a Starbucks "coffee" is not just food, it is a bunch of sugar in it, we as humans do not need "sugar" to survive, we do need carbs, even if process sugar and a banana have "carbs" it is not the same, one has nutrients the other is just energy

    As soon as you stressed that you were registered a dietitian several times, I pretty much knew you were going to give a bunch of poor information rooted in outdated nutritional guidelines.
    The body needs fat. The body needs protein. The body does NOT need carbohydrates. And this is becoming more and more clear every year. The only carb I will argue for is fiber.
    Not only has keto quickly proven it's one of the best diets for type 1 and 2 diabetics, it has also been proven that keto can be sustainable long-term with no adverse health effects. It's only as restrictive as you make it.
    Net carbs is just a term to separate impactful carbohydrates from non-impact carbohydrates. The UK recognizes net carbs, and the net carb number is what they use on their nutritional labels. Did you know that Miss Dietitian?
    I really wish dietitians like yourself would catch up to the science and the rest of the world. You guys are still spouting 40-year outdated nutritional information that hurts more than it helps.
