I am 91 I eat oats topped with crushed flax seeds and chia seeds every second day, the next day 2 soft boiled eggs with bacon, and a bowel of cooked onions and tomatoes mixed with olive oil. I am not on any meds have full mobility and walk 3+ Km most days
That's not a million miles from my routine. Three days of oats, bran, crushed flax seeds, cinnamon, muscovado sugar, honey banana and blueberries (and milk) and three days of an oatcake made of one egg, a spoonful of oats, a teaspoon of bran and a spoonful of nutritional yeast. On Sunday I treat myself to toast or a croissant with lashings of butter and jam, but I figure only one day's ok and I don't feel any negative effects. I'm only 66, so I may have to pare back on that if I ever get near where you are. I tip my hat to you.
@@scitec6166good for them. Those who don't do well with that must be informed what to do to control their glucose. Here is an alternative. We are all individuals.
Among other things, I left teaching public school and took my kids with me because of the unhealthy food and sugar addiction culture my students were living in. It was visible. So many were wired or sleepy, hangry, living on sugar all day. They couldn't concentrate, and some had pretty serious behavioral issues after coming back from the midmorning break -- the school had concession tables filled with junk for the students to buy. My kids are grown and married now, and they are super fit and wonderful cooks -- real food is the norm. Reall food and home cooked (not perfect) meals was their childhood from 1st grade til they left for college. It made such a difference in their ability to learn well.
@TheNutmegStitcher I was telling my date the other day about being "hangry." What a coincidence. Tables filled with junk that makes learning difficult. Horrible! @RepDanCrenshaw @unitednations
The key takeaways are: 1. **Blood Sugar Spikes from Oats**: Oats, a common breakfast food, are high in starch and can cause significant blood sugar spikes when consumed alone. 2. **Enhancing Oatmeal**: To make oatmeal healthier and reduce blood sugar impact, it's recommended to add protein, fat, and fiber, such as nut butter, protein powder, or eggs. 3. **Savory Breakfasts Over Sweet**: A savory breakfast built around proteins (like eggs, fish, nuts, tofu, or dinner leftovers) is preferable to sweet breakfasts for maintaining steady glucose levels. 4. **Avoid Sweet Foods in the Morning**: Sweet foods, including fruit juices, jams, and sweet cereals, should be avoided in the morning to prevent blood sugar spikes. 5. **Healthy Choices for Busy Lifestyles**: For those with busy lifestyles, preparing healthy breakfast options in advance or choosing savory over sweet options at coffee shops can help maintain a balanced diet. 6. **Cultural Influence on Breakfast Choices**: The shift towards sweetened cereals and juices for breakfast in many cultures is largely due to marketing strategies by food companies, moving away from traditional, balanced meals. 7. **Impact of Plant Milks on Blood Sugar**: Plant milks made from starches like oats and rice can cause glucose spikes. Almond or coconut milk are better alternatives. 8. **Physical Activity for Blood Sugar Control**: Engaging in simple physical activities, such as walking or calf raises, after meals can help in managing blood sugar levels by aiding muscle glucose absorption. 9. **Evolutionary Role of Muscle Use**: The soleus muscle in the calf is particularly efficient at using glucose, likely due to its evolutionary role in walking and survival activities.
I eat porridge for breakfast every day, powers me through a long swim, a 6 mile cycle to work and an hour in the gym at lunchtime, i do not experience the lack of energy or the cravings for sugar described here. I am the ideal weight for my height and very physically fit.
I used to do that too. Loved my porridge. Like you, I thought I was doing well until I became fat-adapted. There was no way I'd believe that before, but now, I'll never go back.
Me too. I'm wearing a CGM and yes my blood sugar definitely spikes big time. I usually have it with Greek yogurt and a bit of fruits. But it goes up and down just once , not 4 times as when I eat processed food ;) And I feel so good when I eat my porridge, no cravings and I keep energized for up to. 6 hours so I guess it's fine.
Way back in the philippines, we always have a savory breakfast. We have vinegar almost in every meal or in every menu. Our side sauce is vinegar and we drink the rest of vinegar in the saucer. We never take sweet breakfast, well we have rice cake but not always as a dessert. I practice this untill now with my children.
I make my own granola in the oven (oats, sunflower- and pumpkinseeds, crushed nuts and a bit of coconut). I add some raisins, flaxseed and yoghurt. Oats are known to lower cholesterol. So not all bad. And I eat my breakfast 14hours after dinner. An easy way of intermittent fasting. This really works for me.
I eat organic oats every morning with chopped nuts and seeds, blueberrys and greek plain yoghurt. I'm 78 not on any meds. Sick of oats being demonised.
Keep doing what you doing alot of our elders report eating oats daily, this chick talking has nowhere near your experience, who know what condition she will be in at your age
So many experts and none of them can agree on what is good and what is not good, what to eat and what not to eat. One expert says oats are horrible and others say oats, especially mixed with bran are very good for your gut and overall health. Which is it? There are only 2 options: one of them is wrong or they are both wrong, but the biggest question is how to tell which of the experts is THE expert.
Organised confusion, most of them have that smug know it all energy too... "Eat a ham bagel" Processed ham literally one of the worst foods you can eat and so are bagels but it fits with her glucose argument so who cares hey?
This is not difficult to solve guys, try both if you don’t believe either, listen to your body and the way you feel and you will know what works for you. For me avoiding insulin spikes is key to weight control and better health. Gut bio health is very important, all of this is based on science not the marketing food product companies market to you by disingenuous doctors. The problem with this method of health is pharmaceuticals can’t make money out of it ie. YOU
@@Tracertme I wasn't trying to say she's not right or this is difficult, but it is often confusing, unless you stick to one person and whatever that person says is unquestionably true. There are many scientific researches and evidence that oats are in fact very good - especially for your gut health - and I don't mean the instant kind or other oat wannabies packed with sugar of any kind. She is only or mostly focused on sugars in its pure form and she is right, sugar is a killer but you cannot look at the whole apple and an extracted sugar from that apple in the same way. The point of the comment was that if two well respected scientists say somewhat contradicting statements on the same matter, well... perhaps they should give more context to what they're saying. Nowadays everyone seems to be an expert on any subject and it is up to a listener to decide which he or she likes best, say I like that other expert better because he/she said oats are great and I like oats. Context is key in pretty much everything be it archeology or medicine or any other scientific field. I am not, in any way, denying she isn't an expert on the matter of sugar and I also follow some of her advice, but she isn't the only expert on the planet. If scientist A says oats are bad and a scientist B says oats are good, than obviously the context is important because for a healthy person it may be good and beneficial but for someone struggling with insulin levels or other conditions than obviously it isn't so good. I am not trying to instigate an argument here or say she's right or not, but it isn't always just A or B. A and B aren't always mutually exclusive so context is very important and I understand you cannot fit a whole lot of information in a short edited video like this one.
For breakfast , i put 1 tbspn of Psyllium husks and 1 tbspn Flaxseed meal in a bowl 🥣 mix it with water, little almond milk and cinnamon and stir in a dollop of plain yogurt sprinkle some seeds and nuts on top. This is my breakfast now. (Very filling but make sure you are close to a toilet 🚽 as too much psyllium husks can have an effect) I used to eat oats everyday for breakfast not realising how high carb it was. I used to eat rice cakes too with tahini not realising how high glycemic rice cakes were.
@jerrytux5246 That's exactly what I have after my fasting, except I add chia to that which is soaked the night before. Only one teaspoon of psyllium though!
Even in this video she does it to herself. It is not a bad breakfast in any way. She is simply stating the glucose content. There is fibre in the oats and berries. If you really have sugar issues she says to dress it up. Add proteins or fat and it mitigates the spike - IF YOU ARE REALLY SPIKING. For example, if you are following it up with a run or workout your body can use the glucose before or after the exercise. We do it to ourselves making it harder by the “sugar causes spikes therefore sugar is poison, or fat, or carbs, etc”. It’s a balance of diet, exercise, sleep that makes it all work right.
I follow Dr Neal Barnard's stance on oats (he's an expert in diabetes). Organic oats are rich in soluble fibre and remove cholesterol from the body. The more intact the grain, the lower the GI so yes, I wouldn't have 'instant' oats but there's nothing wrong with organic, whole grain oats. Top your oats with some protein powder mixed into the water (or a plant based milk like almond) and lots of cinnamon. The latter also helps stabilise blood sugars. Follow up with a walk (the dog or walk to work, or park a few blocks away from the office) and your blood sugars will be just fine. Frankly, better than the ham croissant that Jessie recommends.
I couldn't agree more. I eat 50g organic oats most mornings, often with milk or yoghurt, and fresh fruit. About 15 minutes after eating, I go for a 20-30 minute walk. I never feel like I have a blood sugar spike, and I never get cravings for more food during the morning - I comfortably go 5+ hours until lunchtime. I've been eating a similar breakfast for probably the last 20 years and, whenever I've had my blood sugars tested, the results have been fine.
Well you be fair she didn't actually recommend a ham crossiant she just said if you really MUST have one ..add ham to it lol not that ham is a healthy meat to eat ..but I'm Muslim and don't eat pork in any case . But I'm just thinking if you were to have some veggies or salad..first then have Steel Cut oats and add some nut butter and blueberries and yes CINNAMON to it .
I do organic steel cut oats cooked in an instant pot. I add a spoon of flax and cinnamon power. 5 walnuts. Berries. Coconut oil. 1/2 banana. This combination gives me plenty of fiber. I don’t get glucose spikes when i do this. It feels super healthy. But if i do quick cook oats and add a sweetener it would give me a spike. Ultimately greater awareness will allow us to modify our menus.
@@joshbrailsfordFasting glucose is worthless as it's momentary. Fasting Insulin and A1C are the two insightful tests as the results provide a wider window and allow the correction of course before diabetes. Oats, yeah, it depends on what your glucose monitor shows it's doing or not doing to you.
rolled quinoa flakes are a fantastic oats substitute for porridge. Flavour and texture is great, cook in hot water in a matter of seconds, and the nutrition is good because quinoa not a grain, it's a seed. Can adorn it with other ingredients just like you would with any porridge, Western porridge or East Asian congee style.
I add ground flax seeds and sesemie seeds to my cooked oatmeal in addition to bee pollen. Also I wait until 2 hours past sunrise for the carcadium rythum to relax. comments welcome.
She goes on and on about glucose spikes as if it were a disease or a medical problem. It is NORMAL for glucose to increase after eating carbs and oats are a slow release carbs. Endurance athletes eat plenty of pasta and carbs (especially oats). You must consider the level of activity, the nutrition, metabolic disease (e.g., due to genetics) and medication, if taking any. You cannot say oats are bad and a ham and cheese croissant is OK. Sugary cereals and Nutella crepes are definitely not good, but carbs are not necessarily bad, even if it increases blood glucose.
What she said was if you're going to have a croissant, have a savory one like ham and cheese and not the chocolate croissant. Don't have the sugary version when you can have one with cheese and meat. It's about selecting the lesser of two evils. People are still going to eat things that are not great for them, like chocolate. Instead of a sugary milk chocolate, have a dark chocolate 70% cocoa or more.
Most people eat too many carbs in a day, everyday and not enough lean protein and veg. North Americans have cereal (and more than a suggested serving in their bowl), or toast, or bagels for breakfast. Lunch is sandwiches on bread or buns, pizza, burgers, hot dogs, left over pasta or left over stir fry with rice. Then dinner pasta, maybe veggie stir fry with rice or noodles, chicken, beef, or fish with a veg and potato. Some people have bread with dinner. It's a lot of carbs in a day, especially if you eat fruit yogurt, granola bars, ice cream or cookies after dinner.
Plenty of experts would disagree with this completely and as someone who eats anything including meat every day I have to say that sure there are some people who cannot eat grains and have to be careful with lectins and glucose, but as a whole food oats has numerous redeeming qualities and if your worried about the glucose spike then just use steel cut oats, I've been eating oats and berries for breakfast for close on 70 years and my blood numbers are perfect and that includes my A1C levels.
Just remember that everyone is different...some people do not process glucose well. My 73 year old husband has oat porridge,soaked overnight in water before cooking, with cream and sugar...no glucose spike at all! This proven by wearing a CGM for 2 weeks. Excellent Hba1c ... I, on the other hand cannot eat carbohydrates like him as my glucose spikes high....since I don't want to become a Type 2 diabetic depending on chronic medication, I have chosen to follow a low carbohydrate,high healthy fat diet and have managed to reduce my Hba1c so that I am no longer prediabetic. Please note that neither my husband or I are overweight. I am grateful to Jessie Inchauspe for the work she has done in educating people on blood sugars. There are many other doctors and professionals who are also explaining this in the many podcasts available. My knowledge on this has improved greatly since I was told I was prediabetic. Very important to understand that genetically everyone is different and some people simply cannot process carbohydrates well. But we do believe that most people would benefit from a lower carbohydrate diet....looking around at the general population, there are so many metabolically unhealthy people...makes me very sad.
I never take bfast but not hungry at all eat at 1pm with veggie and fish and dessert jelly ! Dinner just soup I think you should experiment in each individuals.
I eats oats every evening before going to bed. It’s the only thing that I can eat that calms my stomach for sleep & I also sleep very heavy on them! I’m not overweight so I’m not going to worry about it.
Dr. Laurie Marbas found oat groats are digested quite a bit slower than rolled oats. She did a blood test after eating each. When I eat oats now they are the groats ( Scottish oats). It makes sense that rolling the oats would make them digest faster.
@@alancameron6937 "eventually" broken down. And that's what makes them complex carbs and low glycemic. The carnivore diet makes no sense. There weren't grocery stores, restaurants, or drive thrus in primitive times. The meat our primitive ancestors got ran, swam, flew, fought back, and hunted us. Our ancestors weren't getting all that much w/ their primitive tools/weapons (sticks and stones). And whatever they got wasn't hanging around long w/out refrigeration. What our ancestors ate the most of was stuff that couldn't run or fight. And that would be stuff that grows from the ground.
I personally believe in bioindividuality. I understand where Jessie is coming from but my experience with oat for breakfast is veeery different. I personally believe that it hugely depends on the quality of grain you buy (I buy organic oats harvested in Germany) and the way you prepare it. My favorite way to prepare it, is slowly cooked with water, then adding healthy fats (nuts, nutbutter, seeds), fruits (fresh or frozen), cinnamon, cacao nibs, coconut flakes or some marple syrup or dates to sweeten it. For me, it's the only breakfast food that will last for up to 5 hours.. It's super satiating and I cannot recall having had any blood sugar spike.. Having said that, if you eat raw oats with milk or you buy granola/cereal from the store, which naturally contains more sugar, it may be digested differently. Touching on the point about the savory food alternative, I do agree that this contains less sugar. I personally eat plant-based and my savory alternative is with buckwheat, rice or eggs.
@HealthyLifestyleByDesign "The only breakfast food that will last 5 hours.." "...veeery different..." "...the quality of grain you buy..." @RepDanCrenshaw @unitednations
imagine thinking that different humans have different digestive system. How silly do you have to be to believe this. Unless we're talking about allergies, the optimal diet for everyone is the same
Savoury oats for breakfast. Soak the oats in vegetable stock, boil up some red lentils and mix it in with to porridge to thicken it so it sets. Pour it over some fried onion, celery and capsicum with garlic. Add some sautéed mushrooms, pretty good breakfast me thinks.
Oatmeal is the queen👑 of breakfasts. Every day before work I eat 250g add a few cloves. Oatmeal is a rich source of fiber, which helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full for a longer time. In addition to calories, these cereals also contain protein, fats, carbohydrates and essential vitamins and minerals, making them an excellent choice for a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Ingredient Quantity in 100g Calories 389 kcal Protein 15 g ⬅️ depending on oat quality Fat 6.9 g Carbohydrates 66.3 g Fiber 10.6 g Vitamins Contains B1, B2, E Minerals Iron, magnesium, phosphorus. My breakfast menu: pour boiling water over oat flakes with a Large tablespoon of cow milk butter and a teespoon of salt, it is good to add a few cloves. mix and set aside for 15 minutes under cover, add a large tablespoon of honey before serving. For over 8 hours I don't feel tired or hungry. I recommend it to people who work physically 👊🏻😎👍🏻. I’am 44 years old, 83 kg, 181 cm tall, 92 cm waist, practically no body fat. The last time I went to the doctor due to illness was when I was a little boy. I will also add that I have blue eyes ♥️🇵🇱 Ps; And after pooping, the ass is so clean that you hardly need to wipe it.
@@dawnwalus6587 I do use the organic cacao powder, I like flax seeds for the high omega 3s, and I prefer honey for the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties
Did she just say add some protein and fiber to your oats? Wow. Steel cut oats are packed with both. The only thing I would add is some berries and nut butter for some antioxidants and healthy fats.
What I find is that people in the USA are prone to do their daily workout before eating and then sometimes eating a robust meal with tons of calories. From what I am hearing it seems this is totally backwards and the eating first should be pushed followed by the workout. Obviously before the workout the food intake should be much smaller for both health reasons and the body is not demanding tons of calories to replace spent calories.
There is a difference, isn't there, in oats that have been cooked and eaten warm, versus oats that have been used in granola that has been roasted in the oven and then eaten cold? There is something called resistance starch, and eating oats cold seems to be in the resistant starch category?
She really wasnt encouraging a ham croissant for breakfast. She said IF you find you HAVE to eat a croissant for brfst at least put something savory into it instead sugar.
I think when she spoke of eating a ham croissant, she was saying if you are at a coffee shop where there are few healthy choices, at least getting something with protein in it would be better than other less healthy options available there
I'm wearing a CGM and yes my blood sugar definitely spikes big time. I usually have it with Greek yogurt and a bit of fruits.

My grandpa would eat oats and fruit every day. He’d also walk 18 holes, and kept his calories low. It’s all relative. When I eat oats,which I love, it’s 1/2 cup made with water, cinnamon and honey. It’s like 200 calories. It keeps me full to my next meal which is also small. Just gotta figure out what works for your body. We all die in the end
@@RobZwierlein no, she is actually very knowledgeable. Just understand that she is focusing on blood sugar control. First, for diabetics, then for people with pre-diabetes. Those 2 categories encompass something like 85% of the US population. She is trying to educate everyone to help prevent all of us from having current and future issues with blood sugar.
She is not wrong everyone is different. Oats and Porridge cause me severe inflammation due to starches and sugar and as soon as i dropped them my joint pain stopped. Excessive sugar and starch cause so many problems inc joint pain, gut health problems and diabetes.
I think sweet breakfast might be a cultural thing. Living in two Latin American countries for many years, I hardly ever had anything sweet for breakfast and, over there, most grown ups will have eggs, nopales (cactus), salsa, whole corn tortillas, beans, and the like.
Oats also has protein. 100g of oats=10g of protein. When i have oats in the morning i usually have around 200-250g of oats, but then i add 2 full scoops of protein powder. Thats another 44-48g of protein on top of the 20-25 from the oats. Thats a woping 70g of protein to start the day. This really makes a good impact on reaching my daily target of 200-250g of protein to cover the daily breakdown
@@sunbeam9222 ahh maybe not? I dont weigh it or anything. Might not be more than a 100g-150g? Still its a good start to reaching the target of 200-250g of protein
@@IIXIIXVXIIXII Mate, ditch the oats, & have eggs & avocado for breakfast, & take a two scoop protein drink with you when you leave for work, You’re still getting your protein, without the oats garbage..
@@marcusherts9345 thx for the advice! I struggle quite a bit with the weight, so i whould like to cut some carbs. This might just be a great way to do it? Do you do anything special with it, or is it just boiled eggs with avocado on the rocks so to speak?
Italians in French they have a cappuccino or espresso for breakfast with a toasted baguette with the chocolate latte maybe with a little cheese and fruit and they are just fine. And you know they say live life.
Can I just suggest best time to eat any carbs from sugar is after an intense workout at the gym, what this will do is use up all the carbs and they won't store as fat.
Well, her contentions about oats are practically the opposite of the things I know in terms of this subject. Oatmeal is a whole grain, it keeps you full for a long time due to the many fibers. The soluble fibre beta-glucan in particular lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels, has a positive effect on the insulin response, ensures a longer feeling of satiety and the proliferation of good intestinal bacteria. (Sadly I cannot give the source here, because when I post links, my comments are deleted). Its common knowledge that oats are very saturating for quite a time and I can confirm that.
Those two seem not to be very scientific, in 1903 Carl Von Noorden stumbled across oatmeal to reverse type two diabetes. Granted initially he used as well a large amount of butter in his recipes but after they started to actually omit ALL animal based foods the reversal was even much faster. Yes the added plant based protein, helps to keep you satiated for longer. But oats don’t only contain starches, there is actually fats, vitamins, minerals and protein in oats and quite a good amount. I guess most people just don’t eat enough of it at breakfast that’s why they feel sluggish etc. I for example like my oats soaked for about minimum 2 hours or overnight and no I don’t eat instant oats but steel cut oats and top them as well with crushed flax and chia seeds and topped with loads of berries, I never feel tired or hungry after I eat them. Just make sure you eat enough to have at least 500 calories for breakfast a bit more if you are taller or bigger.
Just eat a normal breakfast although best to avoid salty foods. I eat Greek yoghurt, blueberries, walnuts and green figs when in season. Never fruit juice, but a black coffee is perfect.
i only eat twice a day i stopped eating cereal , i normally have a boiled Egg on toast , or a home made Beefburger , i eat all morning Brekki with an apple , pickled Gherkin . 1 Radish , some Sauerkraut , and some fresh pineapple
Soleous does not need the pump needed to pull the glucose into its cells its just the gradient that muscle pulls glucose into the cells of calf muscles
I always preferred savory breakfast, maybe a toast with jam at the end. If I have breakfast at all since I struggle to eat in the morning. But I could never have a sweet breakfast or start with sweets. I recently started to have overnight oats since it was recommended to me because oats would lower blood sugar. I have them soaked in a mixture of coconut purree/coconut milk and curd or low-fat Greek yogurt or kefir and some frozen berries and spices. But even if I eat 100g of oats this way (the calorie intake is almost equal to a full dinner!) it won't last very long. After one or two hours I am hungry again. I don't get how many people in the fitness community have oats for breakfast and say they don't have to eat for hours afterward. Is there a difference if you have an insulin resistance? What do you recommend vegetarians for breakfast?
Every morning i eat 3 tablespoons of instant oats with 1 tablespoon 100% peanut butter and 1 tablespoon chia seeds. And then eat an orange. Yesterday i measured my blood sugar, it was 4.3 ( 1.5 hour post meal).
Depends on when you quit eating the day before. For most people cutting out breakfast isn't really healthy or possible...now stopping eating earlier the day before is more feasible.
@@karenstrebsundsvalen1666 well she’s not cutting out breakfast at all. Breakfast is the first meal you have after you’re done fasting. So no matter when she eats it’s breakfast.
I don’t understand this. A few months ago i was listening to an interview of a vegan docter (Dr Neal Barnard) and he was claiming the opposite: research shows there is no spike when you consume fruits and we researched so many people to claim this…. Who is right!?
I think she's very wrong... fruits and oats have very low glucose index. They don't give spikes. A savory meal could be bad for blood pressure, she's kind of looking for just one aspect of health but not the whole picture.
@@tamarahabkashe is saying it herself: Starch is made of glucose molecules, yes, but! 1. The starch must be digested and cleaved first until glucose goes into the body, this takes time - no spike. The starch is also encapsulated in fiber, that too prevents from glucose to spike immediately … but apart from that, her suggestions make sense. Especially the protein part is useful. Having only carbohydrates for breakfast is a problem. That is also my personal experience.
There are some RUclips videos where people test Oats with and without protein powder for breakfast, and the results are almost the same. So, what's the truth? Will adding yogurt to the Oats be better than adding protein powder?
Personally I have always found sweet food such as cereals bizarre for breakfast. My family and I ever since I was a small child would go for eggs and sometimes fish. There is such a wide a choice and they really don't take that much longer than opening a cereal packet and putting milk in.
Try this: one egg. beans, red , black etc, NOT CANNED! Kodo millet with bulgur, almonds ,turmeric, black pepper. No fruit juice only the whole fruit so you get the fiber. Or a carrot, raw broccoli, red pepper, celery etc.
Last week I made a conscious effort to eat more protein (min 100g day) and cut down carbs massively (max 100g day). I lost 4 lbs in 7 days. By day 8 I couldn't look at another egg or piece of meat. So boring but it really works for weight loss.
I used to eat overnight oats uncooked topped with fruit, nuts and seeds and a scoop of protein powder. Since reading her book i have been having greek yogurt with fruit and peanut butter and nut with seeds. I don't get a mid morning desire for croissants like before or a sugar crash. I suppose we are all different and the key is to know your body. Good luck guys❤
That exactly the problem. In my society, people used to eat white bread with jams and sweet ultra process cereal. My in laws daily taking such foods and have all sorts of metabolic syndromes but still don't believe what wrong they did in their breakfast.
I tried eating eggs furst thing in the morning...put me off eggs for a while...porridge with flax seeds and chia seeds with blueberries seems to do the trick followed by walnuts and almonds and dates...gotta be good??
There are several varieties of oats, and not all of them have the same effect on glucose spikes. There are evidences that whole grain oats are beneficial to diabetic people.
As if eating a lot of starch first thing in the morning was beneficial to people intolerant to glucose... Note that your body has already poured glucose in your blood just before you woke up so that it's probably the worst time in the day to eat carbs, in particular for people who has developed insulin resistance. You can easily reverse your type 2 diabetes by adopting a low carb diet, not with a high starch diet. I guess you confound less bad with beneficial. Whole grain oats are certainly less bad than most of ultra processed breakfast cereals but it doesn't mean that people already having problems to regulate their blood glucose should eat them for breakfast: at the end of the digestion process they still get glucose. People with diabetes should eat eggs and bacon not cereals for breakfast. Or skip breakfast.
@@NoegzitAvoiding breakfast is not a good idea because it can only trigger cravings later during the day. If your porridge is sugarless and not overcooked, the impact on your glucose spikes is limited. So work out a new recipe of porridge where you can get rid of any sugary items and where your milk added is not skimmed.
@@pierretran6567 I agree that porridge without added sugar doesn't make your blood glucose spike too much. You can also prepare it in the evening and eat it after a night in the fridge to limit the glucose spike. But I totally disagree with your claim about skipping breakfast "it can only trigger cravings later in the day". I generally skip breakfast and don't have any cravings later thanks to a very low carb diet. I can even swim or bike 4 hours in a row before my first meal. We have been brainwashed by breakfast cereals vendors to think we should have plenty of carbs first thing in the morning with tales like ""breakfast is the most important meal of the day". We certainly can skip breakfast and if we want to have a breakfast, breakfast cereals should be avoided.
When you don’t have to provide scientific references you can make any claims you want. Like Oats are unhealthy or Starches cause inflammation or Eggs are healthy.
When “scientific research” is sponsored by the food industry, the “reference” is suspect. I’m no scientist, but as an athlete I have many years of personal experimentation regarding my food intake. An animal based diet has had a profoundly positive impact on my overall health and athletic performance.
@@raymondwade2433Hi Raymond. You are spot on with your comment. Additionally, an animal based diet is what our evolutionary biology stands on. We certainly consumed vegetation but this would have been a secondary not primary choice for survival. Animals contain components required by humans that are not found in the plant kingdom. Very careful monitoring of biomarkers should be done regularly for those consuming a vegetarian or vegan diet to ensure they do not suffer nutritional deficiencies and/or imbalances.
@@raymondwade2433 So, you are trying to convince yourself that all science is corrupt? That makes sense, because to believe that an animal based diet is healthy you have to disregard all the 100000’s of nutrition studies (of which only a small minority has any involvement by the food industry) that together point in the opposite direction.
@@marionhochberg9091 Think you will find that hunter gathers would of eaten more vegetation, nuts/seeds/ fruit etc , anything they could get easily. Hunting animals would of been secondary as it would take way more energy. They couldn't go to a supermarket, so they are not going to spend there day running all over creation, burning what little energy they had chasing animals. It's no different today, if you found yourself in the wilderness without food, would you chase the first animal you seen, and more than likely not catch it anyway, or conserve energy and look around you for food that grows?
Thank you for your comment. Our brains grew in size and evolved due to consumption of animals (for at least 2 million years and counting) which contained the necessary nutrient dense proteins and fats required for such development. Protein is essential in building, rebuilding and maintaining all body tissues. Humans can survive on a varied diet. They cannot effectively or efficiently extract crucially important components such as fatty acids from plants. Ruminant animals perform this task by consuming grasses and plant materials. Their longer specialized digestive tracts extract these essential fatty acids. We then consume the animals and that is how we effectively obtain them. The brain is 30-40% fat; cell membranes are at least 30% fat. Carbohydrates are obtained through the plant kingdom. While protein and fats are essential for human health, there are zero requirements for carbohydrates in the human diet. And, yes, hunting animals took enormous energy and strength. That does not negate the fact that animals, with their dense nutrient content, were the first and primary choice for sustenance with vegetation coming in second place for survival.

I’m sorry but I just don’t agree with her stance on oats. Yes it’s a starch but it has FIBRE and is low GI. Its impact on blood sugar is minimal. Most people I know including myself who eat oats feel quite satiated after a serve and don’t get sugar crashes. Maybe she’s referring to an instant added sugar variant.
You are right but she is also right. Adding protein powder or peanut butter will enhance them. Anyway, I know of NOONE who can eat plain oats. I take mine with protein powder, cinnamon and little dried berries.
@@ps7539 Enhancing them in terms of providing a more diverse macronutrient profile in a single meal, yes, but it also means extra calories. Oats are already a nutrient dense food and provide health benefits on their own. She is coming at it from the perspective of reducing a so called negative impact of a temporary blood sugar spike. Yet there are no meta analyses or RCT’s which point at negative health outcomes from eating oats or even getting a temporary spike in blood sugar especially when calories are equated across different groups.
Is yoghurt plus a small quantity of buckwheat or any grain plus some nuts a good enough breakfast? I cannot eat eggs in the morning or fish, I kind of would throw up
Da tutto le informazioni ché ho raccolto 2 uova al giorno vanno benissimo. Si può anche aumentare se fai sport, sei attivo sempre,dipende anche dal peso.
For me, I totally disagree. As a semi retired person (81) i cannot face any form of heavy breakfast at 07.15. So, I start with a single cup of tea (loose leaf) With my second cup (I do not drink coffee) I toast a single slice of my home made Organic Wholemeal bread. Cut in half, with one half spread with high quality unique peanut butter & the other half, marmalade, or jam. That last for about 3 hours when I can face my organic Irish porridge oats. Sprinkle of nuts/seeds/dried fruit etc. This will take me to lunch at about 14.00 (2 pm) I never snack on anything sweet, but may eat fruit. I am not or never have been overweight & never feel any form of spike from glucose. So this burst of energy followed by steep dive, no idea what that is.
Well this really helps people who do have pre diabetes,or diabetes. Overweight people are often pre-diabetic,that if they eat jam with toast,they will be hungry all day. these are great suggestions preventively, and more importantly helps others in big trouble " now!"
People that can make it up to this age and above are just lucky. No matter what they eat. So it works for you because you’re lucky. But your diet can be harmful for other people. What I’m saying is just don’t promote it to others.
I lost weight with a Sculpted Vegan program. Every day her chef pan fries up tofu and spinach and that is her breakfast. It's so delicious! Sprinkle onion powder and garlic powder and a little salt. A lot of people use the black salt to make it taste eggy. It's called namak something or other.

I am 91 I eat oats topped with crushed flax seeds and chia seeds every second day, the next day 2 soft boiled eggs with bacon, and a bowel of cooked onions and tomatoes mixed with olive oil. I am not on any meds have full mobility and walk 3+ Km most days
That's 😮 beautiful. May God continue to bless you with long life 🙏
That's not a million miles from my routine. Three days of oats, bran, crushed flax seeds, cinnamon, muscovado sugar, honey banana and blueberries (and milk) and three days of an oatcake made of one egg, a spoonful of oats, a teaspoon of bran and a spoonful of nutritional yeast. On Sunday I treat myself to toast or a croissant with lashings of butter and jam, but I figure only one day's ok and I don't feel any negative effects. I'm only 66, so I may have to pare back on that if I ever get near where you are. I tip my hat to you.
You should be teaching them! LOL 91 years young. What else can you contribute I’m all ears….
Plenty of our elders that are fit and well report eating oats alot
@@scitec6166good for them. Those who don't do well with that must be informed what to do to control their glucose. Here is an alternative. We are all individuals.
Among other things, I left teaching public school and took my kids with me because of the unhealthy food and sugar addiction culture my students were living in. It was visible. So many were wired or sleepy, hangry, living on sugar all day. They couldn't concentrate, and some had pretty serious behavioral issues after coming back from the midmorning break -- the school had concession tables filled with junk for the students to buy. My kids are grown and married now, and they are super fit and wonderful cooks -- real food is the norm. Reall food and home cooked (not perfect) meals was their childhood from 1st grade til they left for college. It made such a difference in their ability to learn well.
@TheNutmegStitcher I was telling my date the other day about being "hangry." What a coincidence. Tables filled with junk that makes learning difficult. Horrible! @RepDanCrenshaw @unitednations
The key takeaways are:
1. **Blood Sugar Spikes from Oats**: Oats, a common breakfast food, are high in starch and can cause significant blood sugar spikes when consumed alone.
2. **Enhancing Oatmeal**: To make oatmeal healthier and reduce blood sugar impact, it's recommended to add protein, fat, and fiber, such as nut butter, protein powder, or eggs.
3. **Savory Breakfasts Over Sweet**: A savory breakfast built around proteins (like eggs, fish, nuts, tofu, or dinner leftovers) is preferable to sweet breakfasts for maintaining steady glucose levels.
4. **Avoid Sweet Foods in the Morning**: Sweet foods, including fruit juices, jams, and sweet cereals, should be avoided in the morning to prevent blood sugar spikes.
5. **Healthy Choices for Busy Lifestyles**: For those with busy lifestyles, preparing healthy breakfast options in advance or choosing savory over sweet options at coffee shops can help maintain a balanced diet.
6. **Cultural Influence on Breakfast Choices**: The shift towards sweetened cereals and juices for breakfast in many cultures is largely due to marketing strategies by food companies, moving away from traditional, balanced meals.
7. **Impact of Plant Milks on Blood Sugar**: Plant milks made from starches like oats and rice can cause glucose spikes. Almond or coconut milk are better alternatives.
8. **Physical Activity for Blood Sugar Control**: Engaging in simple physical activities, such as walking or calf raises, after meals can help in managing blood sugar levels by aiding muscle glucose absorption.
9. **Evolutionary Role of Muscle Use**: The soleus muscle in the calf is particularly efficient at using glucose, likely due to its evolutionary role in walking and survival activities.
Value bro thanks

This is a great summary and reference.
But why is blood sugar spikes bad? I cant find a video where she mentions the studies on health outcomes
I eat porridge for breakfast every day, powers me through a long swim, a 6 mile cycle to work and an hour in the gym at lunchtime, i do not experience the lack of energy or the cravings for sugar described here. I am the ideal weight for my height and very physically fit.
Well aren’t you the lucky one….
You exercise and that brings down your sugar level significantly. But if you don’t exercise, you will surely have the glucose level spike.
I used to do that too. Loved my porridge. Like you, I thought I was doing well until I became fat-adapted. There was no way I'd believe that before, but now, I'll never go back.
You have a flexible metabolism. That is wonderful. Enjoy 😊
Just cut out the refined sugars and carry on with unsweetened porridge.
I eat oates with berrys, soya milk, cinimon, chia for breakfast and i feel good, no gravings for 6 hours..sometimes savory, sometimes, oats..
Me too. I'm wearing a CGM and yes my blood sugar definitely spikes big time. I usually have it with Greek yogurt and a bit of fruits. But it goes up and down just once , not 4 times as when I eat processed food ;) And I feel so good when I eat my porridge, no cravings and I keep energized for up to. 6 hours so I guess it's fine.
Way back in the philippines, we always have a savory breakfast. We have vinegar almost in every meal or in every menu. Our side sauce is vinegar and we drink the rest of vinegar in the saucer. We never take sweet breakfast, well we have rice cake but not always as a dessert. I practice this untill now with my children.
I make my own granola in the oven (oats, sunflower- and pumpkinseeds, crushed nuts and a bit of coconut). I add some raisins, flaxseed and yoghurt. Oats are known to lower cholesterol. So not all bad. And I eat my breakfast 14hours after dinner. An easy way of intermittent fasting. This really works for me.
Great breakfast!
I eat organic oats every morning with chopped nuts and seeds, blueberrys and greek plain yoghurt. I'm 78 not on any meds. Sick of oats being demonised.
Keep doing what you doing alot of our elders report eating oats daily, this chick talking has nowhere near your experience, who know what condition she will be in at your age
You're doing exactly as she suggests.. boosting your oats 👍🏼
Same as me. I mix the fruit types regularly. Top it with honey. I feel energised until late afternoon, and I'm active.
But youre doing what she says to do. Haha!
You’re doing the right thing but I would swap the Greek yogurt for non-dairy coconut yogurt.
Oats are often sprayed with glyphosate before harvesting to dessicate them.
Buy organic
Yup, so make your own beer or you will have glyphosate in there somewhere.
@@Noegzit Not those sold in Australia so I will continue to benefit from them thankfully.
This is mindblowing and incredibly simple.
So many experts and none of them can agree on what is good and what is not good, what to eat and what not to eat. One expert says oats are horrible and others say oats, especially mixed with bran are very good for your gut and overall health. Which is it? There are only 2 options: one of them is wrong or they are both wrong, but the biggest question is how to tell which of the experts is THE expert.
That’s always my problem, too. It’s so confusing. ☹️
If you are diabetic/ prediabetic oats is bad.
Otherwise good in moderation...steel cut.
Organised confusion, most of them have that smug know it all energy too... "Eat a ham bagel" Processed ham literally one of the worst foods you can eat and so are bagels but it fits with her glucose argument so who cares hey?
This is not difficult to solve guys, try both if you don’t believe either, listen to your body and the way you feel and you will know what works for you. For me avoiding insulin spikes is key to weight control and better health. Gut bio health is very important, all of this is based on science not the marketing food product companies market to you by disingenuous doctors. The problem with this method of health is pharmaceuticals can’t make money out of it ie. YOU
@@Tracertme I wasn't trying to say she's not right or this is difficult, but it is often confusing, unless you stick to one person and whatever that person says is unquestionably true. There are many scientific researches and evidence that oats are in fact very good - especially for your gut health - and I don't mean the instant kind or other oat wannabies packed with sugar of any kind. She is only or mostly focused on sugars in its pure form and she is right, sugar is a killer but you cannot look at the whole apple and an extracted sugar from that apple in the same way. The point of the comment was that if two well respected scientists say somewhat contradicting statements on the same matter, well... perhaps they should give more context to what they're saying. Nowadays everyone seems to be an expert on any subject and it is up to a listener to decide which he or she likes best, say I like that other expert better because he/she said oats are great and I like oats. Context is key in pretty much everything be it archeology or medicine or any other scientific field. I am not, in any way, denying she isn't an expert on the matter of sugar and I also follow some of her advice, but she isn't the only expert on the planet. If scientist A says oats are bad and a scientist B says oats are good, than obviously the context is important because for a healthy person it may be good and beneficial but for someone struggling with insulin levels or other conditions than obviously it isn't so good.
I am not trying to instigate an argument here or say she's right or not, but it isn't always just A or B. A and B aren't always mutually exclusive so context is very important and I understand you cannot fit a whole lot of information in a short edited video like this one.
I eat oats every morning with nut butter mixed in. Also, oats have fiber which helps curb the glucose spike.
For breakfast , i put 1 tbspn of Psyllium husks and 1 tbspn Flaxseed meal in a bowl 🥣 mix it with water, little almond milk and cinnamon and stir in a dollop of plain yogurt sprinkle some seeds and nuts on top. This is my breakfast now. (Very filling but make sure you are close to a toilet 🚽 as too much psyllium husks can have an effect)
I used to eat oats everyday for breakfast not realising how high carb it was. I used to eat rice cakes too with tahini not realising how high glycemic rice cakes were.
Sounds yummy.
thats genius i gotta try this tmrw!
@jerrytux5246 That's exactly what I have after my fasting, except I add chia to that which is soaked the night before. Only one teaspoon of psyllium though!
@@purplefee9210 yes you need to alter the Psyllium Husks as can effect stomach and bowel. 1 teaspoon is usually enough and can put in yogurt too
I ate rice cakes coated with chocolate every single night last winter and wondered why I couldn't fit my leggings ( yes leggings! 😆) came spring.
Even in this video she does it to herself. It is not a bad breakfast in any way. She is simply stating the glucose content. There is fibre in the oats and berries. If you really have sugar issues she says to dress it up. Add proteins or fat and it mitigates the spike - IF YOU ARE REALLY SPIKING. For example, if you are following it up with a run or workout your body can use the glucose before or after the exercise.
We do it to ourselves making it harder by the “sugar causes spikes therefore sugar is poison, or fat, or carbs, etc”. It’s a balance of diet, exercise, sleep that makes it all work right.
I follow Dr Neal Barnard's stance on oats (he's an expert in diabetes). Organic oats are rich in soluble fibre and remove cholesterol from the body. The more intact the grain, the lower the GI so yes, I wouldn't have 'instant' oats but there's nothing wrong with organic, whole grain oats. Top your oats with some protein powder mixed into the water (or a plant based milk like almond) and lots of cinnamon. The latter also helps stabilise blood sugars. Follow up with a walk (the dog or walk to work, or park a few blocks away from the office) and your blood sugars will be just fine. Frankly, better than the ham croissant that Jessie recommends.
I couldn't agree more. I eat 50g organic oats most mornings, often with milk or yoghurt, and fresh fruit. About 15 minutes after eating, I go for a 20-30 minute walk. I never feel like I have a blood sugar spike, and I never get cravings for more food during the morning - I comfortably go 5+ hours until lunchtime. I've been eating a similar breakfast for probably the last 20 years and, whenever I've had my blood sugars tested, the results have been fine.
Well you be fair she didn't actually recommend a ham crossiant she just said if you really MUST have one ..add ham to it lol not that ham is a healthy meat to eat ..but I'm Muslim and don't eat pork in any case .
But I'm just thinking if you were to have some veggies or salad..first then have Steel Cut oats and add some nut butter and blueberries and yes CINNAMON to it .
I do rolled oats overnight with a tablespoon of organic peanut butter, cinnamon, unsweetened almond milk .
I do organic steel cut oats cooked in an instant pot. I add a spoon of flax and cinnamon power. 5 walnuts. Berries. Coconut oil. 1/2 banana. This combination gives me plenty of fiber. I don’t get glucose spikes when i do this. It feels super healthy. But if i do quick cook oats and add a sweetener it would give me a spike. Ultimately greater awareness will allow us to modify our menus.
@@joshbrailsfordFasting glucose is worthless as it's momentary. Fasting Insulin and A1C are the two insightful tests as the results provide a wider window and allow the correction of course before diabetes. Oats, yeah, it depends on what your glucose monitor shows it's doing or not doing to you.
rolled quinoa flakes are a fantastic oats substitute for porridge. Flavour and texture is great, cook in hot water in a matter of seconds, and the nutrition is good because quinoa not a grain, it's a seed. Can adorn it with other ingredients just like you would with any porridge, Western porridge or East Asian congee style.
I add ground flax seeds and sesemie seeds to my cooked oatmeal in addition to bee pollen. Also I wait until 2 hours past sunrise for the carcadium rythum to relax. comments welcome.
She goes on and on about glucose spikes as if it were a disease or a medical problem. It is NORMAL for glucose to increase after eating carbs and oats are a slow release carbs. Endurance athletes eat plenty of pasta and carbs (especially oats). You must consider the level of activity, the nutrition, metabolic disease (e.g., due to genetics) and medication, if taking any. You cannot say oats are bad and a ham and cheese croissant is OK. Sugary cereals and Nutella crepes are definitely not good, but carbs are not necessarily bad, even if it increases blood glucose.
I agree. I don’t know why she thinks everyone needs more protein either.
What she said was if you're going to have a croissant, have a savory one like ham and cheese and not the chocolate croissant. Don't have the sugary version when you can have one with cheese and meat. It's about selecting the lesser of two evils. People are still going to eat things that are not great for them, like chocolate. Instead of a sugary milk chocolate, have a dark chocolate 70% cocoa or more.
Protein keeps you full longer, helps build muscles, doesn't have sugar or carbs @@sugarplumk2381
Most people eat too many carbs in a day, everyday and not enough lean protein and veg.
North Americans have cereal (and more than a suggested serving in their bowl), or toast, or bagels for breakfast.
Lunch is sandwiches on bread or buns, pizza, burgers, hot dogs, left over pasta or left over stir fry with rice.
Then dinner pasta, maybe veggie stir fry with rice or noodles, chicken, beef, or fish with a veg and potato. Some people have bread with dinner.
It's a lot of carbs in a day, especially if you eat fruit yogurt, granola bars, ice cream or cookies after dinner.
Plenty of experts would disagree with this completely and as someone who eats anything including meat every day I have to say that sure there are some people who cannot eat grains and have to be careful with lectins and glucose, but as a whole food oats has numerous redeeming qualities and if your worried about the glucose spike then just use steel cut oats, I've been eating oats and berries for breakfast for close on 70 years and my blood numbers are perfect and that includes my A1C levels.
Just remember that everyone is different...some people do not process glucose well. My 73 year old husband has oat porridge,soaked overnight in water before cooking, with cream and sugar...no glucose spike at all! This proven by wearing a CGM for 2 weeks. Excellent Hba1c ...
I, on the other hand cannot eat carbohydrates like him as my glucose spikes high....since I don't want to become a Type 2 diabetic depending on chronic medication, I have chosen to follow a low carbohydrate,high healthy fat diet and have managed to reduce my Hba1c so that I am no longer prediabetic. Please note that neither my husband or I are overweight.
I am grateful to Jessie Inchauspe for the work she has done in educating people on blood sugars. There are many other doctors and professionals who are also explaining this in the many podcasts available. My knowledge on this has improved greatly since I was told I was prediabetic.
Very important to understand that genetically everyone is different and some people simply cannot process carbohydrates well.
But we do believe that most people would benefit from a lower carbohydrate diet....looking around at the general population, there are so many metabolically unhealthy people...makes me very sad.
I never take bfast but not hungry at all eat at 1pm with veggie and fish and dessert jelly !
Dinner just soup
I think you should experiment in each individuals.
Always fish ?.don't u get bored with that ...and do you eat. No carbs at all and no fruit ?
I’ve got her book and I love the recipes- simple, easy and delicious.❤
I eats oats every evening before going to bed. It’s the only thing that I can eat that calms my stomach for sleep & I also sleep very heavy on them! I’m not overweight so I’m not going to worry about it.
I have found if I have protein for breakfast it just keeps me full much longer. Do what works for you if you love oats, eat them
everything's good when your boddy is good
What an amazing lady , that guy in the cab , was a massage for God. Gifted beautiful lady. GOD BLESS HER.
Dr. Laurie Marbas found oat groats are digested quite a bit slower than rolled oats. She did a blood test after eating each. When I eat oats now they are the groats ( Scottish oats). It makes sense that rolling the oats would make them digest faster.
1/2 - 1/3 cooked of organic steel oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, sm pat butter, walnuts, apples (optional nut butters) - not hungry for at least 6 hours
Where do we get the morning dose of pesticides from if we skip the good old oats 🤤
Eat organic steele cut oats...
😂😂😂
Oats are a low glycemic high fiber food. So I'm not sure what she's talking about? Maybe the packets of instant oats w/ added sugar?
The carbs in oats are eventually broken down into the same sugar load......ditch all carbs.....go carnivore it makes sense
@@alancameron6937 "eventually" broken down. And that's what makes them complex carbs and low glycemic. The carnivore diet makes no sense. There weren't grocery stores, restaurants, or drive thrus in primitive times. The meat our primitive ancestors got ran, swam, flew, fought back, and hunted us. Our ancestors weren't getting all that much w/ their primitive tools/weapons (sticks and stones). And whatever they got wasn't hanging around long w/out refrigeration. What our ancestors ate the most of was stuff that couldn't run or fight. And that would be stuff that grows from the ground.
I am not sure but I think oats was the staple food for thousands of years for some of my ancestors.
Oats are rich in fiber...Fiber functions to slow down the release of sugar🤨
@@sayantanpoali5877nope- I had a blood glucose monitor and had oats. Big glucose spike. Surprised me too. Put your beliefs to the test.
If you combine oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and apple for breakfast, would that be acceptable?
Yes, preferably organic steel cut or whole oats, soak few hours/overnight, rinse till clear. I also soak chia seeds.
Whole oats can be cooked with some oat bran and be kept overnight in the refrigerator.
I personally believe in bioindividuality. I understand where Jessie is coming from but my experience with oat for breakfast is veeery different. I personally believe that it hugely depends on the quality of grain you buy (I buy organic oats harvested in Germany) and the way you prepare it. My favorite way to prepare it, is slowly cooked with water, then adding healthy fats (nuts, nutbutter, seeds), fruits (fresh or frozen), cinnamon, cacao nibs, coconut flakes or some marple syrup or dates to sweeten it. For me, it's the only breakfast food that will last for up to 5 hours.. It's super satiating and I cannot recall having had any blood sugar spike.. Having said that, if you eat raw oats with milk or you buy granola/cereal from the store, which naturally contains more sugar, it may be digested differently. Touching on the point about the savory food alternative, I do agree that this contains less sugar. I personally eat plant-based and my savory alternative is with buckwheat, rice or eggs.
@HealthyLifestyleByDesign "The only breakfast food that will last 5 hours.." "...veeery different..." "...the quality of grain you buy..." @RepDanCrenshaw @unitednations
imagine thinking that different humans have different digestive system. How silly do you have to be to believe this. Unless we're talking about allergies, the optimal diet for everyone is the same
Savoury oats for breakfast. Soak the oats in vegetable stock, boil up some red lentils and mix it in with to porridge to thicken it so it sets. Pour it over some fried onion, celery and capsicum with garlic. Add some sautéed mushrooms, pretty good breakfast me thinks.
you're 2 foot in the grave grandpa. Not much credibility
Mighty fine, sir!
Oatmeal is the queen👑 of breakfasts. Every day before work I eat 250g add a few cloves. Oatmeal is a rich source of fiber, which helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full for a longer time. In addition to calories, these cereals also contain protein, fats, carbohydrates and essential vitamins and minerals, making them an excellent choice for a healthy and nutritious breakfast.

Did she just say add some protein and fiber to your oats? Wow. Steel cut oats are packed with both. The only thing I would add is some berries and nut butter for some antioxidants and healthy fats.
What I find is that people in the USA are prone to do their daily workout before eating and then sometimes eating a robust meal with tons of calories. From what I am hearing it seems this is totally backwards and the eating first should be pushed followed by the workout. Obviously before the workout the food intake should be much smaller for both health reasons and the body is not demanding tons of calories to replace spent calories.
There is a difference, isn't there, in oats that have been cooked and eaten warm, versus oats that have been used in granola that has been roasted in the oven and then eaten cold? There is something called resistance starch, and eating oats cold seems to be in the resistant starch category?
Oh my gosh! She’s so off course. Can’t believe she just suggested a ham croissant for breakfast!
Yeah as appose to eating healthy oats with maybe some topping lol what a joke 😂

@@loveatree1 How about no ham at all.

Damn, so Raw Oats, Cinnamon and blueberries is unhealthy?? If so, I'm sick of this world and all the contradictions.

But it goes up and down just once , not 4 times as when I eat processed food ;) And I feel so good when I eat my porridge, no cravings and I keep energized for up to. 6 hours so I guess it's fine.
If it makes you feel satisfied, satiated, no cravings not tiredness it's a winner imo.
My grandpa would eat oats and fruit every day. He’d also walk 18 holes, and kept his calories low. It’s all relative.
When I eat oats,which I love, it’s 1/2 cup made with water, cinnamon and honey. It’s like 200 calories. It keeps me full to my next meal which is also small.
Just gotta figure out what works for your body. We all die in the end
She is insane.
@@RobZwierlein no, she is actually very knowledgeable. Just understand that she is focusing on blood sugar control. First, for diabetics, then for people with pre-diabetes. Those 2 categories encompass something like 85% of the US population. She is trying to educate everyone to help prevent all of us from having current and future issues with blood sugar.
She is not wrong everyone is different. Oats and Porridge cause me severe inflammation due to starches and sugar and as soon as i dropped them my joint pain stopped. Excessive sugar and starch cause so many problems inc joint pain, gut health problems and diabetes.
I think sweet breakfast might be a cultural thing. Living in two Latin American countries for many years, I hardly ever had anything sweet for breakfast and, over there, most grown ups will have eggs, nopales (cactus), salsa, whole corn tortillas, beans, and the like.
I sometimes eat boiled lentils for breakfast, what do you think is it ok?
Yes!
me too, for breakfast always some legumes with some proteine like eggs or meat and a little bit of bread. legumes are high in fiber and folate.
I have oatmeal with almond milk, raisins , and Wheetabix, every AM and it doesn’t put me weight on, or spike my BS. What say you?
Oats also has protein. 100g of oats=10g of protein. When i have oats in the morning i usually have around 200-250g of oats, but then i add 2 full scoops of protein powder. Thats another 44-48g of protein on top of the 20-25 from the oats. Thats a woping 70g of protein to start the day. This really makes a good impact on reaching my daily target of 200-250g of protein to cover the daily breakdown

10:43 so if i ride my bicycle to work i should be good?
Well, her contentions about oats are practically the opposite of the things I know in terms of this subject.
Oatmeal is a whole grain, it keeps you full for a long time due to the many fibers. The soluble fibre beta-glucan in particular lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels, has a positive effect on the insulin response, ensures a longer feeling of satiety and the proliferation of good intestinal bacteria. (Sadly I cannot give the source here, because when I post links, my comments are deleted).
Its common knowledge that oats are very saturating for quite a time and I can confirm that.
Is refrigerated prepared oat and reheated the next day , which contains the same amount of starch ?
Those two seem not to be very scientific, in 1903 Carl Von Noorden stumbled across oatmeal to reverse type two diabetes. Granted initially he used as well a large amount of butter in his recipes but after they started to actually omit ALL animal based foods the reversal was even much faster. Yes the added plant based protein, helps to keep you satiated for longer. But oats don’t only contain starches, there is actually fats, vitamins, minerals and protein in oats and quite a good amount. I guess most people just don’t eat enough of it at breakfast that’s why they feel sluggish etc. I for example like my oats soaked for about minimum 2 hours or overnight and no I don’t eat instant oats but steel cut oats and top them as well with crushed flax and chia seeds and topped with loads of berries, I never feel tired or hungry after I eat them. Just make sure you eat enough to have at least 500 calories for breakfast a bit more if you are taller or bigger.
Thanks alot
Just eat a normal breakfast although best to avoid salty foods. I eat Greek yoghurt, blueberries, walnuts and green figs when in season. Never fruit juice, but a black coffee is perfect.
i only eat twice a day i stopped eating cereal , i normally have a boiled Egg on toast , or a home made Beefburger , i eat all morning Brekki with an apple , pickled Gherkin . 1 Radish , some Sauerkraut , and some fresh pineapple
Soleous does not need the pump needed to pull the glucose into its cells its just the gradient that muscle pulls glucose into the cells of calf muscles
Organic oats are fine but eat after protein first. Food order matters significantly.
I always preferred savory breakfast, maybe a toast with jam at the end. If I have breakfast at all since I struggle to eat in the morning. But I could never have a sweet breakfast or start with sweets. I recently started to have overnight oats since it was recommended to me because oats would lower blood sugar. I have them soaked in a mixture of coconut purree/coconut milk and curd or low-fat Greek yogurt or kefir and some frozen berries and spices. But even if I eat 100g of oats this way (the calorie intake is almost equal to a full dinner!) it won't last very long. After one or two hours I am hungry again. I don't get how many people in the fitness community have oats for breakfast and say they don't have to eat for hours afterward. Is there a difference if you have an insulin resistance? What do you recommend vegetarians for breakfast?
eggs, lentils, channa masala, leftover dinner, salad with chicken
Every morning i eat 3 tablespoons of instant oats with 1 tablespoon 100% peanut butter and 1 tablespoon chia seeds. And then eat an orange.
Yesterday i measured my blood sugar, it was 4.3 ( 1.5 hour post meal).
I forgot - use oat groats, lots of microbiotics and fibre very slow glucose release. Oats are SO healthy at any time.
What about Greek yogurt without fruit?
Lots of sugar
The most safe breakfast is just to not eat any breakfast and let your stomach rest until it's 12 o clock.
Depends on when you quit eating the day before. For most people cutting out breakfast isn't really healthy or possible...now stopping eating earlier the day before is more feasible.
@@karenstrebsundsvalen1666 well she’s not cutting out breakfast at all. Breakfast is the first meal you have after you’re done fasting. So no matter when she eats it’s breakfast.
I don’t understand this. A few months ago i was listening to an interview of a vegan docter (Dr Neal Barnard) and he was claiming the opposite: research shows there is no spike when you consume fruits and we researched so many people to claim this….
Who is right!?
The FRUCTOSE of fruits goes directly to the liver as energy's reserve, not to the blood flow
Who is right? Definitely not Dr. Barnhard. Just another shill for processed carbage!
I think she's very wrong... fruits and oats have very low glucose index. They don't give spikes. A savory meal could be bad for blood pressure, she's kind of looking for just one aspect of health but not the whole picture.
@@tamarahabkashe is saying it herself: Starch is made of glucose molecules, yes, but! 1. The starch must be digested and cleaved first until glucose goes into the body, this takes time - no spike. The starch is also encapsulated in fiber, that too prevents from glucose to spike immediately … but apart from that, her suggestions make sense. Especially the protein part is useful. Having only carbohydrates for breakfast is a problem. That is also my personal experience.
@@ernestoparodi7515fructose is used in lipogenesis... it can't be burned for energy to any large extent. Contributes to fatty liver.
❤😂love Jessi and advice
I know granola is predominantly oats but I make mine with coconut oil, spices, nuts (maple syrup) I have this with Greek yogurt. Is that ok?
I believe the Processed Oats,Quick or instant is the problem.
Hello. I ate one slice of wholewheat seeded bread with scrambled egg, ham and cheese and a slice of tomato...my sugar spiked to 12.8....😮
🫣🫣🫣
There are some RUclips videos where people test Oats with and without protein powder for breakfast, and the results are almost the same. So, what's the truth? Will adding yogurt to the Oats be better than adding protein powder?
Boiled eggs is the simple savory breakfast ever, and good protein, just takes 6 minutes, then making toast, scramble eggs or smoothies.
Almond are rich in lectins
I eat porridge that is whole grain I have it with ground flax seeds, cinnamon pumpkin seeds and a few raisins is that no good?
Personally I have always found sweet food such as cereals bizarre for breakfast. My family and I ever since I was a small child would go for eggs and sometimes fish. There is such a wide a choice and they really don't take that much longer than opening a cereal packet and putting milk in.
Try this: one egg. beans, red , black etc, NOT CANNED! Kodo millet with bulgur, almonds ,turmeric, black pepper. No fruit juice only the whole fruit so you get the fiber. Or a carrot, raw broccoli, red pepper, celery etc.
Why not canned
I'm not clear on the (fat) after eating the protein. What fat and how are we eating it...for instance an avocado? Please clarify.
Nuts or avocado for example.
Last week I made a conscious effort to eat more protein (min 100g day) and cut down carbs massively (max 100g day). I lost 4 lbs in 7 days. By day 8 I couldn't look at another egg or piece of meat. So boring but it really works for weight loss.
What you lost is water. Carbs soak up on water. When you stop eating carbs the first week you lose is mainly water that your body then flushes out.
She's annoying k
I eat oatmeal without milk, honey or sugar then a banana 2 hours later, is that good?
Eat the savory food then eat the oats as a dessert after
What if you’re committing on your bike first thing or going out for a long ride. Surely you need those oats and fruits etc?
I used to eat overnight oats uncooked topped with fruit, nuts and seeds and a scoop of protein powder. Since reading her book i have been having greek yogurt with fruit and peanut butter and nut with seeds. I don't get a mid morning desire for croissants like before or a sugar crash. I suppose we are all different and the key is to know your body. Good luck guys❤
That exactly the problem. In my society, people used to eat white bread with jams and sweet ultra process cereal. My in laws daily taking such foods and have all sorts of metabolic syndromes but still don't believe what wrong they did in their breakfast.
I tried eating eggs furst thing in the morning...put me off eggs for a while...porridge with flax seeds and chia seeds with blueberries seems to do the trick followed by walnuts and almonds and dates...gotta be good??
There are several varieties of oats, and not all of them have the same effect on glucose spikes. There are evidences that whole grain oats are beneficial to diabetic people.
As if eating a lot of starch first thing in the morning was beneficial to people intolerant to glucose... Note that your body has already poured glucose in your blood just before you woke up so that it's probably the worst time in the day to eat carbs, in particular for people who has developed insulin resistance. You can easily reverse your type 2 diabetes by adopting a low carb diet, not with a high starch diet. I guess you confound less bad with beneficial. Whole grain oats are certainly less bad than most of ultra processed breakfast cereals but it doesn't mean that people already having problems to regulate their blood glucose should eat them for breakfast: at the end of the digestion process they still get glucose. People with diabetes should eat eggs and bacon not cereals for breakfast. Or skip breakfast.
@@NoegzitAvoiding breakfast is not a good idea because it can only trigger cravings later during the day. If your porridge is sugarless and not overcooked, the impact on your glucose spikes is limited. So work out a new recipe of porridge where you can get rid of any sugary items and where your milk added is not skimmed.
@@pierretran6567 I agree that porridge without added sugar doesn't make your blood glucose spike too much. You can also prepare it in the evening and eat it after a night in the fridge to limit the glucose spike. But I totally disagree with your claim about skipping breakfast "it can only trigger cravings later in the day". I generally skip breakfast and don't have any cravings later thanks to a very low carb diet. I can even swim or bike 4 hours in a row before my first meal. We have been brainwashed by breakfast cereals vendors to think we should have plenty of carbs first thing in the morning with tales like ""breakfast is the most important meal of the day". We certainly can skip breakfast and if we want to have a breakfast, breakfast cereals should be avoided.
Feed your kid toast with nut butter and plain whole milk, there! Easy fast glucose friendly breakfast
Answer in Summary 10:23
my dad was 99 when he died had oats every day was fit as a fiddle
When you don’t have to provide scientific references you can make any claims you want. Like Oats are unhealthy or Starches cause inflammation or Eggs are healthy.
When “scientific research” is sponsored by the food industry, the “reference” is suspect. I’m no scientist, but as an athlete I have many years of personal experimentation regarding my food intake. An animal based diet has had a profoundly positive impact on my overall health and athletic performance.
@@raymondwade2433Hi Raymond. You are spot on with your comment.
Additionally, an animal based diet is what our evolutionary biology stands on. We certainly consumed vegetation but this would have been a secondary not primary choice for survival.
Animals contain components required by humans that are not found in the plant kingdom. Very careful monitoring of biomarkers should be done regularly for those consuming a vegetarian or vegan diet to ensure they do not suffer nutritional deficiencies and/or imbalances.
@@raymondwade2433 So, you are trying to convince yourself that all science is corrupt? That makes sense, because to believe that an animal based diet is healthy you have to disregard all the 100000’s of nutrition studies (of which only a small minority has any involvement by the food industry) that together point in the opposite direction.
@@marionhochberg9091 Think you will find that hunter gathers would of eaten more vegetation, nuts/seeds/ fruit etc , anything they could get easily. Hunting animals would of been secondary as it would take way more energy. They couldn't go to a supermarket, so they are not going to spend there day running all over creation, burning what little energy they had chasing animals. It's no different today, if you found yourself in the wilderness without food, would you chase the first animal you seen, and more than likely not catch it anyway, or conserve energy and look around you for food that grows?
Thank you for your comment. Our brains grew in size and evolved due to consumption of animals (for at least 2 million years and counting) which contained the necessary nutrient dense proteins and fats required for such development. Protein is essential in building, rebuilding and maintaining all body tissues.
Humans can survive on a varied diet. They cannot effectively or efficiently extract crucially important components such as fatty acids from plants. Ruminant animals perform this task by consuming grasses and plant materials. Their longer specialized digestive tracts extract these essential fatty acids. We then consume the animals and that is how we effectively obtain them. The brain is 30-40% fat; cell membranes are at least 30% fat. Carbohydrates are obtained through the plant kingdom. While protein and fats are essential for human health, there are zero requirements for carbohydrates in the human diet.
And, yes, hunting animals took enormous energy and strength. That does not negate the fact that animals, with their dense nutrient content, were the first and primary choice for sustenance with vegetation coming in second place for survival.

A croissant with ham! Now that's really healthy😮
Have you seen what's in industrial croissants and processed ham?
Have tuna or cheese instead and make Keto buns instead of croissants
Your missing her point, that it might be the best option available there, not the best option to actually have
I’m sorry but I just don’t agree with her stance on oats. Yes it’s a starch but it has FIBRE and is low GI. Its impact on blood sugar is minimal. Most people I know including myself who eat oats feel quite satiated after a serve and don’t get sugar crashes. Maybe she’s referring to an instant added sugar variant.
I agree 100%
She's very wrong.
You are right but she is also right. Adding protein powder or peanut butter will enhance them. Anyway, I know of NOONE who can eat plain oats. I take mine with protein powder, cinnamon and little dried berries.
@@ps7539 Enhancing them in terms of providing a more diverse macronutrient profile in a single meal, yes, but it also means extra calories. Oats are already a nutrient dense food and provide health benefits on their own. She is coming at it from the perspective of reducing a so called negative impact of a temporary blood sugar spike. Yet there are no meta analyses or RCT’s which point at negative health outcomes from eating oats or even getting a temporary spike in blood sugar especially when calories are equated across different groups.
@@ps7539 Not met many Scots then 😊
Is yoghurt plus a small quantity of buckwheat or any grain plus some nuts a good enough breakfast?
I cannot eat eggs in the morning or fish, I kind of would throw up
Salve , quante uova al giorno si possono mangiare? Grazie
Da tutto le informazioni ché ho raccolto 2 uova al giorno vanno benissimo. Si può anche aumentare se fai sport, sei attivo sempre,dipende anche dal peso.
For me, I totally disagree. As a semi retired person (81) i cannot face any form of heavy breakfast at 07.15. So, I start with a single cup of tea (loose leaf) With my second cup (I do not drink coffee) I toast a single slice of my home made Organic Wholemeal bread. Cut in half, with one half spread with high quality unique peanut butter & the other half, marmalade, or jam. That last for about 3 hours when I can face my organic Irish porridge oats. Sprinkle of nuts/seeds/dried fruit etc. This will take me to lunch at about 14.00 (2 pm) I never snack on anything sweet, but may eat fruit. I am not or never have been overweight & never feel any form of spike from glucose. So this burst of energy followed by steep dive, no idea what that is.
Well this really helps people who do have pre diabetes,or diabetes.
Overweight people are often pre-diabetic,that if they eat jam with toast,they will be hungry all day.
these are great suggestions preventively, and more importantly helps others in big trouble
" now!"
People that can make it up to this age and above are just lucky. No matter what they eat. So it works for you because you’re lucky. But your diet can be harmful for other people. What I’m saying is just don’t promote it to others.
Doesn't butter chicken have sugar?
Oats+ nuts +seeds + fresh and dried fruits is an excellent breakfast for any active person.
It s tasty but a caloric and glycemic bomb...
how about breakfast options for vegans?
I lost weight with a Sculpted Vegan program. Every day her chef pan fries up tofu and spinach and that is her breakfast. It's so delicious! Sprinkle onion powder and garlic powder and a little salt. A lot of people use the black salt to make it taste eggy. It's called namak something or other.
Automatic Glucose monitors should be free for at least the first year and discounted for as long as you use them
so what if I have scrambled eggs with spinach first, greek yogurt, and then eat oats? Is that okay?
Yup!😂😂
Great information! ❤🙏❤
@marlysgoodyear7970 It is good information, isn't it? Thank God people have the courage to share it online. @RepDanCrenshaw @unitednations
