I have watched literaly every single video of yours since the beginning of the pandemic. Never missed a single video. One thing I have been struggling with is ,When I go on a keto diet, everything is great except my sleep. I just can not sleep. I feel like my cortisol and stress hormones sky rocket at night before going to bed. What do you recommend? As soon as I have some carbs at night, I feel much much better,but than I do not want to go to bed on a full stomach loaded on carbs
everyone is quitting keto and carnivore.. This is crazy. Why does the body choose carbs as number one source of fuel? Why does the body choose to sleep at night? You are going against nature, or i should say you want to use the back up systems as main systems. This is not sustainable. Go plant based, just avoid modern wheat, processed foods and vegetable oils.
Whatever it is you are doing, clearly it seems to be working quite fabulosly and famously for you Thomas, and what more, you are getting noticed, being seen and being heard by a lot of others, so keep it up. In any field, the only way to help others is by leading the way yourself, and being a source of inspiration for them. You can only hope to inspire and to influence others to do the right thing by doing the right thing yourself first. There is no other way. You will have a huge number of followers, the vast majority of them showing only casual interest, a much smaller minority of them showing more than a casual interest and finally the smallest of minorities of them who are really serious. All of them are good.
I’m pretty new to these videos, and I absolutely love them. You make the confusing so simple and understandable. Thank you so much. It’s a game changer.
@@juls7582 Thomas is great for people uneducated in the field and with little ability to discern between junk science and actual science, that's why he associates with influencers, and has no scientific degrees or publications to his name.

insuline rersistance is measured by HOMA-IR and/or a glucose tolerance test. HOMA-IR is relating fasting glucose to fasting insulin. Yet, if your body is metabolically flexible, you have to empty the glycogen stores with a workout after the first 6..8h, and continue fasting for a 2h total. Then take the blood to make the test.
Thanks Thomas, great watch & listen. Heard & taken onboard Sir. Can't produce insulin since I was 13 & Type 1. Once 83.2 in my blood sugar reading in Hospital. Activity & exercise - alongside my insulin. Effective change cycle. Regards
CGMs are now available without prescription. You will see the difference between eating carbs+move and carbs+sedentary. Rucking for a mile brings down my glucose levels faster by 20-30% or about 3hrs down to 2hrs or less in my case.
This is one of the most important videos I've been watching. My Hba1c is okay, my fasting blood glucose is normal, but my postprandial glucose spikes remain high for hours - and I've noticed diabetes related issues that shouldn't occur. Suddenly I'm seeing a worriesome pattern...
In terms of exercising after eating carbs, is there a particularly effective amount of time after the meal is completed in which to embark on the exercise - ie, in one hour, within one hour, etc.?
Wear a CGM and you will definitely see when your glucose spikes after a meal. I believe 60-90 minutes is usually peak. I wait 45 minutes and exercise a little bit and it blunts a spike. Going for a brisk walk really helps if you can get outside.
This video was necessary fallowing some of your advice a couple years back which may have dramatically hurt people with carb burning phenotypes. Well done. Also those videos may have caused some gut dysbiosis. In this case Akkermansia muciniphilia as well as some tryptophan with meals (especially fallowing dinner if sleep is an issue) may be in order to reset a glucose friendly environment.
Is there an optimal zone for 2 hours after eating that shows you are processing it incredibly? Or is the typical under 140 good enough. I would assume obviously the lower the better
I am not insulin resistant but my AM glucose is around 95- 100. Considering I eat no carbs that’s amazing. I appreciate you explanation of why this is but I don’t understand . If my muscles are utilizing my fat this glucose is being sent to the brain, why is my level so high? While wearing a CGM I spiked my glucose with honey and came down within 45 mins. Still around the low 100’s. I went for a walk and it had no effect; why?
There will be differences but try walking within 30-40min of eating carbs, or pretty much anything that spikes up your glucose. CGMs can tell you when glucose starts an upward trend and you can start walking then. I usually don’t stop until I see the trend start coming down.
@@darius8783 thanks! I’ve used a CGM before, and only recently learned about the 2 hour post meal start prandial time, which made the whole thing make more sense in my mind.
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to “the hidden herbs” by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
He said it was what your blood glucose is 2 hours after you eat (post-prandial reading). Check BG before you eat, BG will spike, insulin is released, causing spike to decrease to pre-meal BG number at abouoccurring. If you're not IR. If it stays elevated, then insulin resistance may be occuring.
I understand that some of your audience is struggling and you don't wanna growl them away, yet I don't agree. Any glucose going higherr than 140 and/or not coming down to less than 120 after 1..2h is not healthy , either the body can not handle it, or the intake of glycemic potential is too large. Means to adjust: less carbs, lower glycemic carbs, proteine first, no free sugar at all, also no honey, TRF 15.9 regula and 18:6 once a week, apple cider vinegar / lemon water with each meal, berberine 1h before the meal, walk after the meal. To say that glucose spikes matter only in case of an insulin esistance is "literally" BS.
Calories are literally 90% of the nutrition game. Insulin spikes, sugar, fat, protein, glycemic index, fiber, etc… all those details are making people burn the boat over a termite (fearing carbs, fearing fats, fearing proteins, etc)
lol if you're a type 2 diabetic carbs and gylcemic index , and fiber are the 90% this is the problem with general categories and trying to apply them universally to specific situations
@@leeyokum i was pre-diabetic and now at around 15% bodyfat. If I was diabetic, I’d take my insulin and eat at a calorie deficit to cure diabetes/obesity. Good luck maintaining a calorie deficit when you’re restricting a bit of sugar on oatmeal, or not eating white rice along with your steak, or forcing yourself to eat fiber and vegetables when you don’t really want to. Everything else is a scapegoat to distract you from the real solution: get in a calorie deficit and lose the weight.
@LouDez correct. We know this true because type 1 diabetics (people who can't produce insulin can still get fat on the same insulin dosage if they add too many fats to their diet. Protein and carbs require insulin for your body to use them but fats don't. Hence keeping your insulin and carbs the same but increasing fats WILL make a type 1 diabetic fatter. Ie it's not the insulin that makes u fat
Setting aside the math of it all, even if calories are 90% of the nutrition game, adherence is 99% of the diet game. Those boat-burning details can make the difference between a diet someone can adhere to and a diet that someone gives up on.
Don't listen to this if you have diabetes and you value your health, your limbs, your eyesight and your life. Go and watch a channel called Mastering Diabetes that is run by a doctor who actually has diabetes, and has it perfectly managed by eating less than 15% fat by calorie. He eats as much fruit as he wants and his HbA1C remains steady and within healthy range. Consequently, he has plenty of energy for exercise. What would Thomas DeLaur know? Is he a doctor? A diabetes specialist? Does he have any qualifications of note whatsoever, to give you advice on such a life changing topic? I'd be careful, especially if you don't want your feet amputated due to diabetes.
well I can tell depending on body type eating fruits on type 2 and being obese causing more problems. you are partially brain washed. open up and learn from different sources.
@@olumide4268 I'm not talking about monitoring glucose spikes. I'm saying that a diet with an under 15% fat by calories is the solution to pre-diabetes, diabetes, and blood sugar problems in general. Steak and eggs will only make the problem much worse in the long run.

just eat earlier.
Try magnesium glycinate? or try Pistachios ?
Try 100 mg of 5 HTP with your dinner and thank me later .

I agree with magnesium glycinate. But also try a teaspoon of raw honey just before bed.

Hi thomas. Make a video on how to correctly and accurately measure insulin resistance. Thanks
❤

@@monnoo8221 metabolically flexible is not a thing Great theory but Not Applicable to human metabolism -per Ray Peat and Georgi Dinkov, of course
Thomas I wish you could get to the point quicker, faster and better! Thank you
Thanks for this great video. By the way, I really appreciate when you sound like a broken record. It helps drill this info in my head.
What a great breakdown on insulin and sugar level and how it works! Thank you ❤
I like this guys content as long as its on 2x speed 😂

Why would you ask ? You want to find the easiest path ? Work out fasted in the morning

The world knows these things I think. It's always good to hear it from another perspective:)
I like your videos but can you do some videos and info about Blood pressure and foods that can cause high blood pressure
it s not salt: it is carbs, and with high BP you have way too much insuline for way too long, without exercising.
How long after eating should you wait to exercise?

For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called “the hidden herbs” by anette ray should be your top priority
💯 says this RN,CDCES
How long after eating carbs should a person go for a walk? Does that go for healthy carbs too?
10min walk minimum
@@Nick-gg6tg Thank you. I meant how long to wait before walking. Think I saw about comment mention they wait 45 minutes.

People think their glucose should be flatlined. That's just not true.
Helpful
I do eat that not everyday though.
1:27 😊

No sound?
so whats more important than fasting glucose? The entire video dodges the question

fasting insulin. (he is wrong)
