💕 awwwh miss you too!!! Thanks for watching!

Exciting but sometimes scary!! 😱 but once I publish a video regardless of how it does it’s a win for me and not letting my ego stop me! 💪🏽

Yes!!! Jotting down 3 must-dos helps keeps focus on what matters most! Good luck!

I’m excited about the possibilities!!! Thank you!!

Thank you for your comment!! So many possibilities and looking at the world in a different way can be scary but also exciting!!

Thank you!!😊

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

Definitely don't need to be laid off to get organized😆- little steps at a time, see if it works, tweak to fit your life! Good luck!

Thank you!!!

Thanks for watching! I feel like we tend to go on automode when stuff like this happens!

Thank you!!! Yea looks like I was using my AirPods to record and I’m pretty sure my editing was a little rough 😆. Working on that!!!

So awesome!!!

hi, does the tracking device that you use provide accurate result? what tracking devices do you use?

@@1litreTearz for continuous glucose monitors I've used both Dexcom6/7 and Freestyle Libre 2/3 - I usually like to check it at least 24 hours after I activate it to see if I need to calibrate it - I usually only do this if the number seems higher or lower than usual. I calibrate using a finger stick and follow directions by device - it usually doesn't need to be changed more than 10+/-. But if I'm focusing on ketones and GKI, I use a keto mojo - so I will test both blood glucose and ketones - but I usually only check it right before I break a fast (before first meal of the day). Ketomojo GKI+ supposedly doesn't use calibration - it's been a while - so need to look into that.

@@JustEffie Thank you so much for the information! it’s very informative! May I know how you meet your fat target on keto?

I have to say I'm not great at tracking it. I tend to eat fattier cuts of meat (steak, pork - like bacon or pork shoulder/butt). I make chimichurri with EVOO, use butter or ghee to cook with. I still cycle in some carbs and I'm not always in ketosis. My goal is to be metabolically flexible where I can flex back to ketosis relatively fast. Eating more fat I think is the hardest when trying to go keto - unlearning decades of being told that fat will make us fat. I hope that helps!

Thank you!

​​@@JustEffie New suscriber here! Great tips on savory breakfast to control glucose. How many eggs do you have, and what brand of can salmon is that? Any tips on lunch or dinner foods?

@@nanapoku5259 thanks for your questions! It depends on what I think I’ll be eating the rest of the day. If I’m eating breakfast- knowing I’ll have lunch and dinner later then I’ll have 2-3 (usually 3). If it’s later in the day because I’ve been fasting - I’ll have 4-5 with plans for more protein later.

Salmon!!! I buy the Whole Foods brand wild-caught or sockeye. As for the sardines- in case you’re interested it’s the Bela brand!

@@JustEffie Oh okay got it. I like the fact that you priotize protein. Your avocado with salt & pepper, boiled eggs and salmon breakfast is so cool. I need to try that. I went to the grocery store yesterday looking for some wild caught salmon in a can at Walmart, but was not lucky. Let me ask you this- do you occasionally eat some bread (not white), and if you do, what kind?

Thank you! We got to do what we can!

Try it with an egg 🥚 but I skip the toast! Despite eating it with protein and fats my glucose will elevate higher than I like!

😂 thank you! I love the rope! Yes stretching is my other go to!🎉

Thank you !🙏

Tiny steps! Awareness first and start where you can!

great question! leafy greens, protein rich sources (quinoa, amaranth, etc) can go first, but would go with the higher glycemic vegetables or starches at the end. The goal is to blunt the glucose spike so that your insulin levels don't go so high that it takes longer to get back to burning fat. Each person has to find the right balance for themselves in terms of macros that keep them lean. But keep in mind, being lean by itself isn't an indicator of good health.

Thank you!!

Thank you! Yes the typing in food details is a lot of friction for me... 😆

No it doesn’t hurt to remove it. I’d suggest to remove it while in a hot shower. That’s the best way and if the patch cover is still on don’t pull it so much that it pulls the skin - that will only cause more irritation. After a hot shower and some oil around the adhesive helps.

Thank you!! I hope you did give it a try! That tiny habit goes a long way through the day!

Thank you Sam!!!

Thanks Toni! Happy Holidays!

Thank you!!!

OMG Paige - I so feel you! It's crazy right?! 🤣... I've been using it on/off for over a year. And when I take a few weeks off, I get that feeling again and I watch this little segment to remind me - Effie you got to chill! Learning about your BG is a great step! Good luck!

Thank you!!!

Thanks so much!!! Happy to have you here and good luck!!!

I’ve kept with it on and off for the last year. It’s worth the investment as long as you use the data and if you utilize the coaching info they provide… that said, I find it useful for better calibration of my diet and also found that the seasons also make a difference in my glucose levels … and I’ve used the cGM to adjust what I eat and when! Good luck and let me know how you do!

How you break your fast is also important to continue to reap the benefits of that fast. Try eating some veggies first or proteins first. Also, if you're famished and overeating you may want to not fast for so long and eat sooner so you don't 'pig out' as you said. Do what you can and try making those little changes to see if that helps! Thanks for watching!

Great tips. Quite revealing actually. Thank you! I’ve also learned a lot watching your other videos 🙏

💕thank you!!!!

It depends … if I eat pizza to break my fast it will go higher than usual. But if I’m good and break my fast with some protein first and then eat pizza - for me - my BG doesn’t spike as much. I also sometimes drink ACV beforehand if I can plan ahead and that also seems to help with controlling the increased BG. Each person is different, but if mine spiked really high I would do the same and avoid it or eat the smallest slice and then go for a walk!

@@JustEffie Thanks for the Tips and thanks so much for replying to my comment. 😊

@@arroyobaby38 good luck and keep me posted!!!

@@JustEffie -Thank you and Definitely!!

If you buy I think at least a month of Nutrisense you get a registered dietitian coach - so if you don’t know much about blood glucose and you have spikes and dips - the coaches there can help educate and guide! Visuals and how to log are different- so that’s preference. Nutrisense visuals are more clinical looking but they’ve made adjustments to make it easier to read. They also have an experiments feature which helps you filter and slice/dice data. Hope that helps!

@@JustEffie -Oh ok. I’m looking into the NUTRISENSE , SIGMOS and LEVELS. I’m on the waiting list and thats ok. I’m still undecided which one I want to go with anyway. Thanks for responding Effie 😊

Thanks Karl! That’s super fantastic you plan to share your data with your doctor! In the last year I’ve worn one on and off. I’ll usually take a couple of weeks to 1 month off. I’ll share some of what I learned in a future video - and to answer your question- yes my BG levels are much more stable!

@@JustEffie I've doubled my GCM experience since I wrote that message! (LOL). I have two meals and some exercise BG data now. It's such a big difference between knowing what people says happens and actually measuring my own numbers. For example, after my huge glucose spike after breakfast, I had a 30-minute walk and I could see it going down almost literally "before my eyes." But then when I stopped walking, it bounced back up again.... I feel there is so much I can learn from this data that I couldn't know just from reading books and watching UA-cam videos. Looking forward to your update! Thanks again.

@@karlint39 isn’t it amazing! And everyone is a bit different so seeing YOUR data YOU can make adjustments that wouldn’t necessarily be available in a book/article! Keep going!

@@JustEffie With just over 2 weeks under my belt (on my arm?) I am a few days into my second sensor. I was a bit shocked to find out that the readings I get on the second sensor are about 20-30 points higher than what I was getting on my first sensor. I know the accuracy is given as +/- ~10% but in my experience the readings went up after eating and down after that (and at night) so it's not as if each reading is totally random. But I was shocked to see such a big difference between the two sensors. I called Abbot and explained (I've heard that they are happy to replace a faulty sensor) but I was told that the readings I was getting were "within the product specifications" so just because they are off by 20 points, it's not any kind of malfunction. The directionality of the readings is still helpful, but I realize that data from one sensor cannot be compared with data from a second sensor. I was a bit surprised and disappointed, but I think that is the limits of the technology now. Maybe in the future there will be devices that are more consistently accurate.

@@karlint39 yes it can be a shocker for sure to see the range increase with a new sensor. You could calibrate the sensor as well by taking a finger prick reading waiting 15 min and compare to the sensor - but if you don’t have a BGM etc the trend is still useful! Good luck with your second sensor!

The CGM is a great tool. Yes Nutrisense is a little more pricey and I would give them a try especially in the beginners they have a registered dietitian available to you. It’s a great way to learn more about what’s going on with your BG. There are other apps available too that I’ve recently tried that might be more cost effective.

@@JustEffie I took the plunge! Just applied it💕🙏🏾

@@chyla1 good luck! I put on a new one today too!
