And here are some of the WORST foods you can eat for breakfast if you’re trying to reversing insulin resistance… 😳🍌 ua-cam.com/video/V_rH_seVVX0/v-deo.html
2 million views this past month and I think only you and one other person have made this comment 🥲 So I think it’s safe to say the majority don’t agree with you.
If any of you are skeptical about Kait’s information, I am living proof that what she is saying is helpful! Last year at this time, I was diagnosed with PCOS, and it made perfect sense. I kept gaining weight, was feeling horrible and tired all the time, and my periods were SUPER irregular. Once I started watching these videos and eating waaaay more protein, my periods started to become more regular! I actually FELT better and more full throughout the day, and it felt better to make these food choices. I still have a ways to go on my weight-loss journey and of course finding better ways to manage stress with lifestyle changes helped, but Kait, I really want to thank you for this lifesaving information ❤
My three macros: Beef, Bacon, and Eggs ! And I agree with you about extending your daily fast. I used to always skip breakfast too. But now I skip dinner instead. No more heartburn, no late night snacking.
I have not lost weight fasting 20 and even 24hrs.and became insulin resistant to OMAD for 2 1/2 years. Now doing keto but still no weight loss. I need to excercise more that is the answer to all of this.
Before being Dx as Pre-Diabetic I ate oatmeal with walnuts or peacans and blueberries every morning. I now eat Greek yogurt, blueberries, a scoop of flaxseed meal and a scoop of peanut butter (only peanuts and sea salt) for breakfast. I try to eat scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and a strip of bacon 2x per week, but my yogurt breakfast is so much easier.
eggs and bacon every morning , and also blueberries walnuts and single cream . Lunch, minced pork with cheese and boiled eggs , evening meal, chicken in garlic and butter with mixed veg and for dessert more nuts and blueberries. My A1c was 111 UK numbers back in Dec 2023, did low carb and 8 weeks later it was down to 68, 8 weeks tested again and down to 62.
You just blew me away with the information that you gave about fat keeps the protein from turning into glucose ! You are the only person i have heard give that information. i’m an older lady and was on keto for several years. i. lost weight to begin with but the weight came back on and i was so discouraged. Thank you for that information!
Fat doesn’t have any effect on the protein turning into glucose. The body will turn protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis if the body has no other source of glucose available. It is purely demand driven. As long as you have fat stores, your body will use that first.
Hi Kait, I alternate in the mornings from sugar free yogurt with blueberries and strawberries, to eggs and bacon and keto bread. In two months I’ve lost 35 lbs. and I feel so much better. Your videos have helped me gain a lot of knowledge about what and when to eat. Thanks again Kait for all you do.
Congratulations Sid! 35 lbs in 2 months is amazing. Do you mind me asking about your keto bread? Did you make it yourself or buy at the store? Also I’m wondering what an example of your other meal(s) was. Again, great job!
Pushing breakfast back an hour or two was the key for me. I never could last till lunchtime so now I have two meals a day - brunch and supper (10-11am and 6-7pm). Finally, found a method that works for me. I make sure I have enough fat and protein at each meal with veggies. I'll have the fat based smoothie option only if I'm out and about or too busy as I always have frozen berries, unsweetened nut butter and vanilla protein powder around (I also add 1 tbs soaked chia seeds and add that to the mix with extra water/ice cubes and 1 tbs cacao or carob powder). In summer, I'll add a zucchini to thicken the mixture and have a smoothie bowl instead! Not sure of the carbs in this but as a T2 diabetic, I haven't seen my blood sugars spike at all.
I appreciated the warning about oat milk! It was the only milk substitute that my coffeeshop offered, and I didn't realize it was bad for insulin resistance. I'll be nixing that! Thank you!
I like your positivity on all topics despite negative comments I’ve seen in comments here. Your very uplifting and helpful. Ty for all your helpful advise. I’ve learned lots of valuable tips from your videos and have refer others to watch them.
I'm so glad you clarified why we who don't eat breakfast feels so good!!! I was always sluggish and hungry after breakfast. So I break my fast much later. I only eat one hard boiled egg with a bit of salt and TBS olive oil. No salt otherwise. Need to make sure you get your daily fat and salt
Thank you for the confirmation.. my family thinks my diet is bad because we eat eggs bacon & avocados & higher fat moderate protein & low carb diet.. then they complain if I skip breakfast 🙄it’s bringing me better health though ❤
Let the results speak for themselves! If you are progressing towards your goals and your health is improving they are going to notice sooner or later 👀 and might want to jump onboard themselves. Keep up the great work!
The first thing I have each morning is water with a little lemon while I do resistance training. I wait until 9am to have my coffee. Then around 10 I go for a 30 min walk which involves 100 stairs, come home, and make my first meal of a 2-egg omelet, with mushrooms, cheese, zucchini, 10%fat plain yogurt, some homemade salsa and take my B12 and D3. I may have a boiled egg and a cup of tea in the afternoon, but usually, just have a protein and veggies dinner by 5pm. Water is throughout the day and I stop eating after 5. I am insulin resistant, and started this program a couple of weeks ago. I feel great, and am sleeping better, have no cravings and have more energy. I can't go super low carb as I get shaky so I stick to the rainbow of colours of mostly veggies. I will be retesting my blood sugar at the end of Feb to see what changes have occurred with it,.
I'm incredibly irritated by the smallest things when im in the last 2 hours of my daily 18 hour fast. Gotta remember to drink the potassium and magnesium salts i have. Great reminder🤙thanks Kait
If you are finding it difficult to push to 18 hours it might be worth just doing 16 hours instead! And you don't have to have the same fasting goal every day, you can mix it up based on how you're feeling 🤗 Sounds like you are consistent though which is great! Thank you for the tip ❤❤
Love your programs. Your illustrations are especially noteworthy for clarity and understanding. Even if I were not a diabetic, I would tune in anyway just because you’re so pretty.
Thanks for the great video, Kait! I skip breakfast every day. On days when I only eat one meal, that's usually around 4pm. On days when I eat two meals, the first is at around 1pm and the second is around 5pm. I can usually tell when I need two meals, because I get hungry around noon. If I don't get hungry, it's one meal. Eggs are always a part of every meal that I eat. I love them and they seem to do me good. Bacon is another staple. Occasionally, I throw in some nuts or avocados. On the days with only one meal, it's usually steak and eggs. I always enjoy your videos because I learn something every time. It may not be useful at the moment, but knowledge is a great thing to store, unlike fat! You never know when that information will come in handy. It's nice to see the big picture also. Keep up the good work! And thanks again!
When I eat out for Lunch, I order a cheese omelet with a cooked slice of Ham, or Bacon. I'm full until Dinner. Just started making keto pinwheels, Turkey, Ham, or Roast Beef, Lay flat add 2 TBSP. Cream Cheese at end of meat, Deli Cheese like Cheddar, Swiss, Havarti, add small Cucumber slices, or 2 small Red Pepper Slices on Cream Cheese, then roll, wrap in plastic for morning or lunch meal for next day. Easy to make, and I just get bored with eggs everyday.
I love the convenience of a smoothie! I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, full fat plain Greek yogurt, chia seed, some blueberries and either unsweetened almond butter or coconut butter. Keeps me full for hours
Who would’ve thought that bacon and eggs were a good choice?! I love that. Thank you for the helpful info. I’m on a quest to get healthier and can’t get enough of these videos.
I just recently found out that I've been having high levels of sugar. I've been listening to a lot of videos on UA-cam and my sugar has improved. I just ran a crossed yours last night and this morning and I'm learning a lot more on how to eat to become insulin resistant. Thank you so much for what you're teaching people.
You have helped me more than you know you are such a blessing while for years and years I suffered from insulin resistance undiagnosed by screwball drs. What a disgrace. Your videos are well done and so thorough I have learned more from your videos than thousands of others put together I am on my way to recovery thanks to you. A cardiologist that I went to said he never heard of berberine. Lol. I have been taking that for awhile with serious lifestyle dietary changes including carb intake of 50 grams a day and a high fat diet. I had been eating all the wrong foods and fruit all of these years and constantly starving I drink apple cidar vinegar 2x a day. One medical dr I went to had no clue what insulin resistance is. Can you imagine
Since finding out I has a insulin problem last December; for breakfast I have cut out all fruit juices (OJ) and cereal and oat meal. I still eat bread but its the thin smaller Dave's Killer wheat Bread (looking for high fiber) and have that or 1 tortilla with eggs and bacon pretty much everyday. A quick breakfast would be that wheat toast with almond butter and bacon. It's really tasty. All washed down with a full glass of water. Have had great results this year. Your videos have been particularly informative. Thanks!
I found a Traders Joe rustic wheat bread works out to 4 carbs a slice( and I still even go for the smaller slices) and it tastes so much better than the keto breads. It tastes like real rustic bread. So I have one toast unless I’m very hungry maybe 2. You can also make French bread and I use Monkfruit Sweetener Lankanto maple syrup ( rare occasions). I’m so glad I found that bread.
Great video, Kait! Your explanation was clear and informative, and I appreciate the practical tips for managing insulin resistance. The variety of breakfast options you provided is really helpful. Keep up the fantastic work!
I have been doing IF with a carnivore diet for just over 60 days now. I've lost 8.5 lbs. My weight loss is slow because I have to take insulin to regulate blood sugar. My favorite meal to break my fast is steak, or bacon, or ham with cheese and four eggs.
U spoke about 🥑 in ur smoothie... In my country of the Philippines, Avocado smoothies or shakes is a common thing (consumed sweet). Since technically 🥑 is considered a fruit since it grows on hard trunk trees & not a vine or soft trunk plants, we treat is as such. Try it out! It really is very good as a smoothie or a shake! They even sell 🥑 ice cream in our country & it's a normal thing...
I don't have diabetes, but I like to educate myself on keeping less sugar in my body as I know it's better for you. I honestly can't say I never have it but as I get older I want to make sure I'm eating a lot better
I was insulin resistance long before I developed Type 2 diabetes. If you carry weight especially in your belly just be careful. So many people have insulin resistance unaware.
I like oil. Plain coffee mixed with 1 teaspoon each of Olive oil & coconut oil in the morning. The taste is heavenly. The oil slows down the effect of caffeine, so I get a smooth 'high' from it. I have 2 to 3 such cups till afternoon. Sometimes after the 2nd coffee I eat roasted coffee beans. After eating the beans I dont feel like eating any food for hours. Oil + Coffee is a very underrated breakfast option IMO.
Speaking of adding avocado to smoothie is not weird. I use to make my son ,in the early 90's (fudgesicles) with a avocado,carob, and honey. He did not realize it was healthy. LOL '
Unless you're fasting all day long then there's no such thing as eating nothing for breakfast. Your first meal of the day IS BreakFast... regardless of when you eat it. My wife and I have breakfast between noon and 1 PM. We skip lunch...
I don't eat oats anymore (too many carbs), but when I used to and started discovering how more protein made me feel better, I used to mix liquid egg whites with my oatmeal. Couldn't really taste it, but it was so much more filling.
I am so glad I found your channel! I am 72 and generally very healthy with lots of walking and a few gym visits every week but struggle with 10 pounds around my middle I just can't get rid of. I know about insulin resistance, but was not sure of what is the best diet. I eat oatmeal most mornings or healthy dry cereal, not the best choices I know now. Thanks.
I’m doing intermittent fasting, 6hr window to eat, 18 hrs fasting. I’m never hungry in the morning and keep myself busy until time to eat @ 2 pm I have salad with everything good in it, with vinaigrette dressing light. Then at 5 I have fruit and mushroom coffee. Works for me.
Hi Kait I’m new and I’m pre- diabetic and I’m glad I came across to your program of explaining the nutrition and as right now it’s a difficult time for me to paid dietitians or nutrition so I’m here to see all your videos that can help me with my eating. I love lot of salad, home made soup, I’m not a meat person, but maybe once other months will have meat, other is chicken, but I’ll be honest love ice cream, sometime bread 🥖 and cookies ☹️… yes that’ll could be my problem. But love fruit. Thank you.
You’re not skipping breakfast. Breakfast is simply the “first meal“ of the day. So if you eat your first meal at noon, that is essentially your “breakfast.“ I eat two meals a day: one at noon and one at four or 5 PM. After that second meal I fast until noon the next day. So breakfast is simply the first meal you eat in a day. You’re not actually skipping “breakfast.”
My favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs with some cheddar jack cheese on top, crispy bacon and half of an avocado. Sometimes I have few strawberries as well.
I have had to learn most of this over the past thirty years, on my own, I'm a no breakfast guy for over 10 years, it works... and theres more too....!!!!!
I eat oatmeal with milk, berries, chia seeds, nuts & cinnamon! Bacon & eggs on weekends! No OJ, just a whole orange! Very rare do I have smoothies, too sweet for me!
My recipe for my husband who just had triple bypass surgery, and diagnosed with type 2 at the same time (7.2 at admission) is 2 cups almond milk, heated on stove, add 2 tbsp chia seeds, 3 -4 tbsp hemp hearts, 2 tbsp flax meal powder....simmer for about 8-10 minutes...it will thicken on standing, smells like oatmeal...I add some berries, nuts and seeds and sometimes a clementine...he loves it, and 4 weeks from surgery his fasting morning blood sugar is 5.3
Yes please make a topic of the variety of milks and their benefits the difference between raw milk, coconut milk, almond milk and oat milk which is very popular nowadays.
This is so true. Whenever I eat sweets like oatmeal or bananas for breakfast I end up craving sugar ALL day. An egg on arugula and avocado and half ezekial bread is my go to if not, a golden latte with coconut oil - YUMMMMMM
Fasting has definitely helped me. Everything is a learning curve. I've been more conscious with the hidden sugars i consume daily, and adding more fat has helped me stay fuller longer and not feel like i have to binge eat anymore. Thank you for sharing this great information with us. 🥰
Prior to morning coffee I take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar so I can use coffeemate. No breakfast or if I do I eat link sausage and an avocado. I usually eat my first meal around 2:00 pm with yogurt and blueberries.
I was just diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I was recommended to drink a teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon powder everyday with tea. Was wondering what time of the day would be more beneficial for better effect. Also told to take 1 glass warm water with Apple cider 30 minutes before my first meal between 11 and 12 pm. Will appreciate your comment.
Hello. What is working for me is eggs, flourless bread ( Ezekiel) , and avocado ...and black coffee...maybe half teaspoon of sugar... And water, apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon, and oranges..so far fruits still raise blood cc sugar, even raspberry and blackberries..so I avoid...is a learning process, checking what works for me has been the key
I nearly overdosed on insulin shots for diabetes. I was insulin resistant. Doc kept increasing the shot dosage and my blood sugar would go higher. If I skip breakfast, my blood sugar goes up 20-40 points.
New sub. Here thank you for this great info,the word breakfast means braking a fast So it can be adjusted for your lifestyle,,if you happen to work a nightshift etc. Your breakfast can be at 6 pm if needed just as long as your body is in a fasting mode,
I've opted for the 'Japanese option' omad.A bowl of rice and mashed mackerel or sardine.Heavily salted and spiced,cayenne,paprika etc.Finding it useful and cheap too.
@@ANGELSVEN Yes i concur.Yet another in a whole range of foodstuffs i'm having to be wary of.Choices are ridiculously limited for pescavaric diet fans.Everything seems tainted,even my beloved bread.The lack of choice is ridiculous for red-meat and green veg dodgers.
This video explains why my glucose level rises even when I eat protein. Thank you for the valuable information. Now I know how to change my diet and I’ll check my blood glucose after eating to see the change. Thank you 🙏
Avocado, bacon , and eggs are my favorite breakfast. Especially coming off a fast. A blueberry avocado smoothie with Cacao power is so creamy and delicious! I use water, no milk. I won't make this smoothie if there is no avocado to add. But, I prefer bacon, egg, and avocado.😊
I am medication free. T2. Fast from 18.30 to 11.30am most days. So love not forcing breakfast cause it's breakfast time. Lunch is generally a previous dinner left overs so lighter dinner with veg and or salad and small meat. Alternates with boiled eggs and cheese with diabetic friendly special baked breads. I remain within normal and pre-diabetic depending on my flu-like allergy state. When body fighting colds etc then spikes to around 11 mmo or 200mg. Seldom hit those highs.
I do 16:8 minimum IF. So my first consumption is a coffee with butter and HWC. But I am interested in adding a protein powder that is keto friendly and IR friendly
Just had breakfast at 8pm dried sea weed a quest bar lemon spindrift multivitamin supplement stack and a giant shot of greek olive oil infused with fresh rosemary,tyme, and sage. Lunch at 10:30pm includes a shot of balsamic vinegar from spain
My "go to" meals: 1) Coffee for breakfast (yes, I'm addicted), 2) breakfast (2 eggs/bacon) at 12:30 to 2 p.m. and then 3) dinner at 5 or 6 p.m., which is a huge salad with vinaigrette dressing PLUS 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar for weight loss and to make myself more acidic, or air fryer/roasted veggies (no potatoes or corn) with about 3-4 oz. protein (chicken breast or turkey burger) sprayed with avocado oil in the air fryer with lots of spices. If I feel a hunger pain in the evening that I HAVE to get rid of, I eat a tablespoon of cottage cheese and have a big mug of hot tea. I miss my Ezekiel toast with my eggs but because the keto diet balances my blood sugar so well, I don't crave it nearly as much as I used to. Oh, and I'm a sugar addict. But with keto, that has gone away about 80% and my insomnia has also gone away about 80%; I eat fruit (blueberries, strawberries, banana) now instead of refined sugar. And no snacking. Thanks for your information!
I Apsolutley dont eat breakfast don't eat till 1ish and if I'm busy not till 5. But do drink plenty water dont need any additive in water. I'm 68 and can keep going eating once every 24 hrs. Usually lentils cooked in olive oil with onions turmeric garlic with cauliflower + brocoli. Job done😊
I'm with you 100%. I don't eat breakfast. I have a cup of homemade cold brewed black coffee or my version of bulletproof coffee (black cold brewed coffee, 1 Tbsp MCT oil, 1 Tbsp organic unsweetened coconut milk). The hunger, if I have any, is gone in minutes, and I am full of energy, so I go right to things that I have to do. This all lasts about 3ish hours, so my first solid meal of the day is lunch. Btw, lunch can either be the bigger meal or smaller one of the day. I mix it up, depending on my mood, and what I have ready in the fridge (almost all my food is homemade.). I like to joke that since I'm half Spanish and half American, I may go Spanish (bigger meal) for lunch, or go American (smaller meal) for lunch. Take care.
My favorite breakfast is steel cut oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, a little peanut butter and plain yogurt, blueberries and sunflower seeds. And an egg in some form.
My first meal is at 12 or 1pm. I eat lunch, stew. Next meal is at 6/7 pm low carb meal. Around 10.30 am I might have a coffee with cream and cardamom, cocoa, pumpkin spice in it so it s not bland taste. I lost 3kg in 1 month. I have to get rid of fatty liver too
Kait, even when i use to do ketogenic diet, i never eat breakfast. Now 2 months on carnivore /omad i feel awesome, and blood sugar early in the morning is under 100.💪💪💪. I drink worm water in the morning for my blood flow. But that's just me. Good luck everyone😀
@@HealthCoachKait yes sweety... when you woke up each morning, first you go pipi, then go to your water machine and put a cup of worm water and drink it. This will help your blood flow to run easy thru your vesels, becouse during the night,your body relaxes, and the blood will flow slower. And never take hot shower in the morning, becouse your blood sugar will rise up quicly. I am not a doctor, i did my research on my own body. Your body is very smart, will let you know when, how or what it needs. That's why when i start keto/ ketovore/ and fasting 4 months ago, i never fallow those recipes with flour or so call keto sweetners. I only use to eat non starchy veggies, and fatty healthy meats. Now i do carnivore/omad, and it's so easy to listen to my body, while it heals. Good luck beautiful😘😘😘
I use steal cut oats. I add butter to it when they're done boiling. Steal cut oaks take a lot loner to boil til soft but so much healthier and satisfying.
Ya know what Kait am feeling this video and your vibe and I'am also looking to take control of my eating habits and I think you can help me with this !
I have skipped breakfast at times in the past and noticed small weight drops over time. I have gone strict KETO few months also in past and lost chunks of weight, but sticking to a ketogenic diet is difficult is one is used to a "normal" diet. Last few weeks I've been going back to skipping breakfast again, not eating after 9pm and also ensuring m my first meal, round lunch time, is carb restricted. I have dropped 1kg per week just from that. I also noticed I actually get less hungry now as the insuline is more managed.
In 2001, Dr. Atik was the first to introduce the low-carb Atkin diet. Consuming only 20g carb. Back then, i lost 21kg. The only problem i had was constipation. Now, there is so much info on the net regarding these low-carb , keto diets, and the health benefits are huge. I remembered paying for the starter kit. My diet plan Mornings lemons water on an empty stomach. 10am two eggs ( however you chose to make them) Snack : cheese/nut or berries and cream. Lunch : Tuna salad I love tea, so i would have my 4pm tea with cream as a substitute to milk. I would add my stevia to kill my sugar. craving. Dinner protein only. Nothing eles works for me!
Our biggest problem is not fat and meats, it is vegetables. We know about corn, peas, potatoes, etc. But what is a good list of veggies to eat. Also I have heard that if we bake a potatoe , then freeze it and rebake it, it is much better for your insulin resistance, is that true? Thanks, Bob
The best and simplest discussion of the three macronutrients. Have struggled with how to combine them into my meals. Thanks for simplifying it. I practice Intermittent fasting but occasionally get the headaches in the morning. I will try adding an electrolyte to my morning glass of warm water. Great Video....
Glad you found this helpful! You might also like my video on how to put together meals for IR where I expand on this more 🤗 ua-cam.com/video/GUyrp8eL7mk/v-deo.html
I am 62 and was diagnosed with PCOS at age 21. Back then girls like me were prescribed birth control to help with heavy periods and extreme pain from endometriosis and fibroids. Fast forward to age 50 and found out I am glucose intolerant and have severe liver disease due to being improperly treated for the underlying effects of PCOS. Gynecologist didn't know the long-term ramifications. I was blessed to be introduced to a new gynecologist who knew exactly what to do and made me hyper aware of what needed to be done going forward. What Kait is saying is true. Don't follow mainstream media, AMHA or FDA advice. They have been misleading us for years to drive up the profits of big pharma to help them recover millions invested in useless drugs, namely statins. A good diet and exercise can replace every age progression illness you may have. Best wishes!
nr 1 works perfectly, I can go without eating brekfest for many hours and I don't feel hungry just because I stick to a diet similar to Kato's. This energy effect works very well for many hours on fat metabolism. That's why it's enough for me to drink bitter coffee with a teaspoon of good coconut oil for breakfast. Nutrient intake takes place in a window of 5-6 hours with a variety of valuable nutrients from many good sources!, but without sugars and with a very limited supply of carbohydrates. So until then there is intermittent fasting and it works perfectly. Dinner must be nutritious and plentiful because it must be enough for me until the next dinner. In the meantime, I drink either good mineral water or green tea or raw cocoa. Hydration must be good in this form of diet. This style causes self-regulation of human metabolism. There are no high sugar options in the keto diet approach. A person can get rid of prediabetes and even diabetes. The whole secret of health lies in what we eat during these 5-6 hours and how often I physically move.
hello. Thank you for your help and enthusiasm is contagious. Does this mean I should eliminate any keto friendly vegetables with my breakfast ? Should my breakfast meal have 0 carbs ?
I found this very informative and will start to implement these today - I enjoy coconut and use it as oil, yoghurt and cream . I have everything in the pantry and two week before my next blood test - will let you know how I go. Thanks
Hi Kait, I am a healthy 67 year old man. Considering returning to the gym to start working out again. I will probably buy a "Plant based Protein" since I am somewhat lactose intolerant with dairy protein. I have been doing Intermittent Fasting now for 5 consecutive months and I feel absolutely fantastic. More energy, better memory and clear thinking, sleep better and longer, more relaxed and an overall better Health. I am 5'5" and weigh 135 lbs. QUESTION: How much protein should I consume after the workout? Also, should I drink some electrolytes before the workout? Thank you in advance. Keep up the great videos! 👍😎🤸♂️🚴♂️⛹️♀️
Electrolytes before a workout 👍 If you're going to buy a plant based protein I would save your money and just get your protein from food. You don't need to consume any amount straight after your workout. As long as you consume enough throughout the day timing doesn't matter 🤗
Try some collagen protein for post workout with water. Also grass fed beef during the day with eggs. I have grass fed mince with 2 eggs and split that into morning tea and lunch with a combined protein of 120 grams, around 60 grams of fat and super low carbs.
I do IF so my breakfast is more like lunch. I like scrambled eggs and bacon and a small amount of NuTrail keto “granola” (which is nuts, seeds, coconut with keto-friendly sweetener) with almond/coconut milk.
I was just diagnosed with diabetes and my cholesterol was 149. Do you think I should still be eating bacon and eggs for breakfast?… it’s been my go to for weight loss, with intermittent fasting.
Love your video first time watching you, thank you. ADA informs very wrong ways for diabetes. Watching your video to help me A1C was 6.6 in three months another blood test hope it drops. No I DO NOT EAT breakfast nor lunch, i eat around 4;00 pm and love eggs avocado maybe bacon,if you can help, thank you very much for your input.
I had my gallbladder removed 9 months ago and suffer with not being able to digest protein, especially eggs and beef! I feel extremely nauseous if I eat eggs:( Any suggestions as how to fix the digestion problem?
Hi Kait, I am new to PCOS dieting and appreciate your videos! However, it is difficult at times to make a complete meal plan that accounts for different pieces of advice-- for example, I read that bacon was not recommended for women with PCOS as we want to avoid processed meats (sad for me, a lover of sliced turkey and bacon!) which are high in sodium, trans fat, and nitrates. I wondered if your recommendation for eggs and bacon means that in your experience, a bit of bacon in the morning is alright? Really any thoughts you have on this or on lunch meat (without white bread) will be very helpful, if you have the time! Thank you so much!
I buy bacon without the nitrates. There are more healthier versions now, but they cost more. Processed lunch meats aren't good. Better to eat organic whole turkey/chicken/beef that's sliced up.
I like huevos racheros with black beans, bacon and avocado. Or just an avocado smashed on toast with a little salt and a couple of messy eggs. I also eat blueberries/mandarin oranges and whole milk yogurt with collagen supplement in my morning tea or golden milk. Steak, mushrooms, avocado, and tomato slices with a poached egg to drizzle yoke is good. small toasted french bread slices, with ham on top then sautéed spinach and a poached egg for yoke driizzle. so yummy.
And here are some of the WORST foods you can eat for breakfast if you’re trying to reversing insulin resistance… 😳🍌 ua-cam.com/video/V_rH_seVVX0/v-deo.html

No,it isn’t at all complex. I’m one that likes to know the details rather just accept it as just fact. She does a good job…l
1. Nothing (2:10)

3. Fat Based Smoothie (7:30)
HORRID advice. Just awful. But thank you for posting this.
Thank you!
@@yesiownfrodoWhat’s horrid about this advice? It’s literally proven to be the most effective way to lower glucose, and heal many health issues.
I’ve never had avocado. Is it eaten raw? How should it be prepared if it needs cooked?
@@hollyb6885 Personally I prefer it raw rather than cooked and just love it simply sliced on buttered toast sprinkled with a little salt and pepper. 😋

I have not lost weight fasting 20 and even 24hrs.and became insulin resistant to OMAD for 2 1/2 years. Now doing keto but still no weight loss. I need to excercise more that is the answer to all of this.
i've just started watching this channel and the thing I appreciate most is that she gets right to the point(s)!

Before being Dx as Pre-Diabetic I ate oatmeal with walnuts or peacans and blueberries every morning. I now eat Greek yogurt, blueberries, a scoop of flaxseed meal and a scoop of peanut butter (only peanuts and sea salt) for breakfast. I try to eat scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and a strip of bacon 2x per week, but my yogurt breakfast is so much easier.
👏👏
is deli meat okay
eggs and bacon every morning , and also blueberries walnuts and single cream . Lunch, minced pork with cheese and boiled eggs , evening meal, chicken in garlic and butter with mixed veg and for dessert more nuts and blueberries. My A1c was 111 UK numbers back in Dec 2023, did low carb and 8 weeks later it was down to 68, 8 weeks tested again and down to 62.
You just blew me away with the information that you gave about fat keeps the protein from turning into glucose ! You are the only person i have heard give that information. i’m an older lady and was on keto for several years. i. lost weight to begin with but the weight came back on and i was so discouraged. Thank you for that information!
Fat doesn’t have any effect on the protein turning into glucose. The body will turn protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis if the body has no other source of glucose available. It is purely demand driven. As long as you have fat stores, your body will use that first.
That low fat recommendation has made a lot of people miserable and fat!
Hi Kait, I alternate in the mornings from sugar free yogurt with blueberries and strawberries, to eggs and bacon and keto bread. In two months I’ve lost 35 lbs. and I feel so much better. Your videos have helped me gain a lot of knowledge about what and when to eat. Thanks again
Kait for all you do.
🥰🥰
Congratulations Sid! 35 lbs in 2 months is amazing. Do you mind me asking about your keto bread? Did you make it yourself or buy at the store? Also I’m wondering what an example of your other meal(s) was. Again, great job!
What exactly did you eat?
I’m curious are you still under 20 grabs of carbs a day with the yogurt?
If it is actual yogurt about 7 to 10 grams per serving. Unfortunately, 90% of the yogurts in the stores are just a bit of yogurt added to sugar.
Pushing breakfast back an hour or two was the key for me. I never could last till lunchtime so now I have two meals a day - brunch and supper (10-11am and 6-7pm). Finally, found a method that works for me. I make sure I have enough fat and protein at each meal with veggies. I'll have the fat based smoothie option only if I'm out and about or too busy as I always have frozen berries, unsweetened nut butter and vanilla protein powder around (I also add 1 tbs soaked chia seeds and add that to the mix with extra water/ice cubes and 1 tbs cacao or carob powder). In summer, I'll add a zucchini to thicken the mixture and have a smoothie bowl instead! Not sure of the carbs in this but as a T2 diabetic, I haven't seen my blood sugars spike at all.
I appreciated the warning about oat milk! It was the only milk substitute that my coffeeshop offered, and I didn't realize it was bad for insulin resistance. I'll be nixing that! Thank you!
I like your positivity on all topics despite negative comments I’ve seen in comments here. Your very uplifting and helpful. Ty for all your helpful advise. I’ve learned lots of valuable tips from your videos and have refer others to watch them.
I'm so glad you clarified why we who don't eat breakfast feels so good!!! I was always sluggish and hungry after breakfast. So I break my fast much later. I only eat one hard boiled egg with a bit of salt and TBS olive oil. No salt otherwise.
Need to make sure you get your daily fat and salt
Thank you for the confirmation.. my family thinks my diet is bad because we eat eggs bacon & avocados & higher fat moderate protein & low carb diet.. then they complain if I skip breakfast 🙄it’s bringing me better health though ❤
Let the results speak for themselves! If you are progressing towards your goals and your health is improving they are going to notice sooner or later 👀 and might want to jump onboard themselves. Keep up the great work!
The first thing I have each morning is water with a little lemon while I do resistance training. I wait until 9am to have my coffee. Then around 10 I go for a 30 min walk which involves 100 stairs, come home, and make my first meal of a 2-egg omelet, with mushrooms, cheese, zucchini, 10%fat plain yogurt, some homemade salsa and take my B12 and D3. I may have a boiled egg and a cup of tea in the afternoon, but usually, just have a protein and veggies dinner by 5pm. Water is throughout the day and I stop eating after 5. I am insulin resistant, and started this program a couple of weeks ago. I feel great, and am sleeping better, have no cravings and have more energy. I can't go super low carb as I get shaky so I stick to the rainbow of colours of mostly veggies. I will be retesting my blood sugar at the end of Feb to see what changes have occurred with it,.
Always take k2 with your vit D
@@stephweissingerI was about to ask about that😊
I'm incredibly irritated by the smallest things when im in the last 2 hours of my daily 18 hour fast. Gotta remember to drink the potassium and magnesium salts i have. Great reminder🤙thanks Kait
If you are finding it difficult to push to 18 hours it might be worth just doing 16 hours instead! And you don't have to have the same fasting goal every day, you can mix it up based on how you're feeling 🤗 Sounds like you are consistent though which is great!
Thank you for the tip ❤❤
Maybe your body is telling you that a 16 hour fast is more suitable for you. Bodies are intelligent.
Eat some fat !
It’s because you’re hungry lol. Eat some cheese dude.
@@HealthCoachKait it's actually better if you DO mix it up, stops the body getting into a routine
Love your programs. Your illustrations are especially noteworthy for clarity and understanding. Even if I were not a diabetic, I would tune in anyway just because you’re so pretty.
Thanks for the great video, Kait! I skip breakfast every day. On days when I only eat one meal, that's usually around 4pm. On days when I eat two meals, the first is at around 1pm and the second is around 5pm. I can usually tell when I need two meals, because I get hungry around noon. If I don't get hungry, it's one meal. Eggs are always a part of every meal that I eat. I love them and they seem to do me good. Bacon is another staple. Occasionally, I throw in some nuts or avocados. On the days with only one meal, it's usually steak and eggs. I always enjoy your videos because I learn something every time. It may not be useful at the moment, but knowledge is a great thing to store, unlike fat! You never know when that information will come in handy. It's nice to see the big picture also. Keep up the good work! And thanks again!
👏👏
That is me to ....
When I eat out for Lunch, I order a cheese omelet with a cooked slice of Ham, or Bacon. I'm full until Dinner. Just started making keto pinwheels, Turkey, Ham, or Roast Beef, Lay flat add 2 TBSP. Cream Cheese at end of meat, Deli Cheese like Cheddar, Swiss, Havarti, add small Cucumber slices, or 2 small Red Pepper Slices on Cream Cheese, then roll, wrap in plastic for morning or lunch meal for next day. Easy to make, and I just get bored with eggs everyday.
I love the convenience of a smoothie! I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, full fat plain Greek yogurt, chia seed, some blueberries and either unsweetened almond butter or coconut butter. Keeps me full for hours
👍👍
Who would’ve thought that bacon and eggs were a good choice?! I love that. Thank you for the helpful info. I’m on a quest to get healthier and can’t get enough of these videos.

I just recently found out that I've been having high levels of sugar. I've been listening to a lot of videos on UA-cam and my sugar has improved. I just ran a crossed yours last night and this morning and I'm learning a lot more on how to eat to become insulin resistant. Thank you so much for what you're teaching people.
You have helped me more than you know you are such a blessing while for years and years I suffered from insulin resistance undiagnosed by screwball drs. What a disgrace. Your videos are well done and so thorough I have learned more from your videos than thousands of others put together I am on my way to recovery thanks to you. A cardiologist that I went to said he never heard of berberine. Lol. I have been taking that for awhile with serious lifestyle dietary changes including carb intake of 50 grams a day and a high fat diet. I had been eating all the wrong foods and fruit all of these years and constantly starving I drink apple cidar vinegar 2x a day. One medical dr I went to had no clue what insulin resistance is. Can you imagine
Since finding out I has a insulin problem last December; for breakfast I have cut out all fruit juices (OJ) and cereal and oat meal. I still eat bread but its the thin smaller Dave's Killer wheat Bread (looking for high fiber) and have that or 1 tortilla with eggs and bacon pretty much everyday. A quick breakfast would be that wheat toast with almond butter and bacon. It's really tasty. All washed down with a full glass of water. Have had great results this year. Your videos have been particularly informative. Thanks!
👏👏
I found a Traders Joe rustic wheat bread works out to 4 carbs a slice( and I still even go for the smaller slices) and it tastes so much better than the keto breads. It tastes like real rustic bread. So I have one toast unless I’m very hungry maybe 2. You can also make French bread and I use Monkfruit Sweetener Lankanto maple syrup ( rare occasions). I’m so glad I found that bread.
Great video, Kait! Your explanation was clear and informative, and I appreciate the practical tips for managing insulin resistance. The variety of breakfast options you provided is really helpful. Keep up the fantastic work!
I have been doing IF with a carnivore diet for just over 60 days now. I've lost 8.5 lbs. My weight loss is slow because I have to take insulin to regulate blood sugar. My favorite meal to break my fast is steak, or bacon, or ham with cheese and four eggs.
In Brazil the smoothies are called vitaminas (vitamins) and forever people there put avocados in it.
Oats with blueberries and ground flaxseed with half almond milk and water is my occasional breakfast. Alternated with bacon and egg.
U spoke about 🥑 in ur smoothie... In my country of the Philippines, Avocado smoothies or shakes is a common thing (consumed sweet). Since technically 🥑 is considered a fruit since it grows on hard trunk trees & not a vine or soft trunk plants, we treat is as such. Try it out! It really is very good as a smoothie or a shake! They even sell 🥑 ice cream in our country & it's a normal thing...
I don't have diabetes, but I like to educate myself on keeping less sugar in my body as I know it's better for you. I honestly can't say I never have it but as I get older I want to make sure I'm eating a lot better
I was insulin resistance long before I developed Type 2 diabetes. If you carry weight especially in your belly just be careful. So many people have insulin resistance unaware.
Yes Kait, an OatLy video would be great, you are sunshine in my day
I like oil.
Plain coffee mixed with 1 teaspoon each of Olive oil & coconut oil in the morning. The taste is heavenly. The oil slows down the effect of caffeine, so I get a smooth 'high' from it.
I have 2 to 3 such cups till afternoon.
Sometimes after the 2nd coffee I eat roasted coffee beans. After eating the beans I dont feel like eating any food for hours.
Oil + Coffee is a very underrated breakfast option IMO.
Olive oil in coffee. Get a grip.
I know some people put butter in their coffee!! (& love it)!!
Be careful dear. Coconut oil has a lot of sat fat.
@@ronica2623 thanks sister
Saturated fat it healthy and the best type of fat for insulin reistance
Speaking of adding avocado to smoothie is not weird. I use to make my son ,in the early 90's (fudgesicles) with a avocado,carob, and honey. He did not realize it was healthy. LOL
'
Unless you're fasting all day long then there's no such thing as eating nothing for breakfast. Your first meal of the day IS BreakFast... regardless of when you eat it. My wife and I have breakfast between noon and 1 PM. We skip lunch...
I dont eat.until 12 , thats skipping breakfast
Clearly, Kait mentioned eating first thing in the morning and calling it breakfast.
Well said, I’m the same! ♥️✨🕊🙏♥️
Stop splitting hairs! 😂 We all know what Kait meant when she said eat nothing 🤦♀️
It's literally BREAk-Fast.....it doesn't matter when you eat it.
I don't eat oats anymore (too many carbs), but when I used to and started discovering how more protein made me feel better, I used to mix liquid egg whites with my oatmeal. Couldn't really taste it, but it was so much more filling.
Thank You Kait for the wonderful video! Much appreciated!!!
❤️❤️
I am so glad I found your channel! I am 72 and generally very healthy with lots of walking and a few gym visits every week but struggle with 10 pounds around my middle I just can't get rid of. I know about insulin resistance, but was not sure of what is the best diet. I eat oatmeal most mornings or healthy dry cereal, not the best choices I know now. Thanks.
Glad you found this video helpful Gary! 😁
You do a great job and deserve a big thank you. Very happy for all you do.
❤️❤️
I’m doing intermittent fasting, 6hr window to eat, 18 hrs fasting. I’m never hungry in the morning and keep myself busy until time to eat @ 2 pm I have salad with everything good in it, with vinaigrette dressing light. Then at 5 I have fruit and mushroom coffee. Works for me.
Wow! You are really helping me understand my insulin resistance. I haven’t been eating enough fat❤
I recently came across your channel and really appreciate all this guidance and knowledge you’re sharing ❤
Whole milk yogurt topped with nuts and blueberries. Sometimes we add some sour cream for extra fat and cinnamon, because it's yummy.
Hi Kait I’m new and I’m pre- diabetic and I’m glad I came across to your program of explaining the nutrition and as right now it’s a difficult time for me to paid dietitians or nutrition so I’m here to see all your videos that can help me with my eating. I love lot of salad, home made soup, I’m not a meat person, but maybe once other months will have meat, other is chicken, but I’ll be honest love ice cream, sometime bread 🥖 and cookies ☹️… yes that’ll could be my problem. But love fruit. Thank you.
Insulin resistance involves too much sugar. Ice cream. Cookies. Fruit. Bread. (Starch turns into sugar). I see your problem.
You’re not skipping breakfast. Breakfast is simply the “first meal“ of the day. So if you eat your first meal at noon, that is essentially your “breakfast.“ I eat two meals a day: one at noon and one at four or 5 PM. After that second meal I fast until noon the next day. So breakfast is simply the first meal you eat in a day. You’re not actually skipping “breakfast.”
My favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs with some cheddar jack cheese on top, crispy bacon and half of an avocado. Sometimes I have few strawberries as well.
Really great explanation of insulin resistance, and practical suggestions for food swapping!
❤️❤️
I have had to learn most of this over the past thirty years, on my own, I'm a no breakfast guy for over 10 years, it works... and theres more too....!!!!!
I have been eating “fake oatmeal” with hemp hearts, flax meal, chia seeds and some heavy cream. It is really delicious and filling.
What proportions do you use?
Yes Emily. Would love your recipe!! Val
I eat oatmeal with milk, berries, chia seeds, nuts & cinnamon! Bacon & eggs on weekends! No OJ, just a whole orange! Very rare do I have smoothies, too sweet for me!
My recipe for my husband who just had triple bypass surgery, and diagnosed with type 2 at the same time (7.2 at admission) is 2 cups almond milk, heated on stove, add 2 tbsp chia seeds, 3 -4 tbsp hemp hearts, 2 tbsp flax meal powder....simmer for about 8-10 minutes...it will thicken on standing, smells like oatmeal...I add some berries, nuts and seeds and sometimes a clementine...he loves it, and 4 weeks from surgery his fasting morning blood sugar is 5.3
Yes please make a topic of the variety of milks and their benefits the difference between raw milk, coconut milk, almond milk and oat milk which is very popular nowadays.
This is so true. Whenever I eat sweets like oatmeal or bananas for breakfast I end up craving sugar ALL day.
An egg on arugula and avocado and half ezekial bread is my go to if not, a golden latte with coconut oil - YUMMMMMM
👏👏
Fasting has definitely helped me. Everything is a learning curve. I've been more conscious with the hidden sugars i consume daily, and adding more fat has helped me stay fuller longer and not feel like i have to binge eat anymore. Thank you for sharing this great information with us. 🥰
Thanks to you my dear I skip breakfast. I have gotten quite an education from you over the past two years =)
I am so glad to hear my videos have helped you John! Thanks for sticking around and for being a HCK channel member 🥰 I appreciate the support!
Prior to morning coffee I take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar so I can use coffeemate. No breakfast or if I do I eat link sausage and an avocado. I usually eat my first meal around 2:00 pm with yogurt and blueberries.
I was just diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I was recommended to drink a teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon powder everyday with tea. Was wondering what time of the day would be more beneficial for better effect. Also told to take 1 glass warm water with Apple cider 30 minutes before my first meal between 11 and 12 pm. Will appreciate your comment.
Has it helped you lower your blood sugar?
Ceylon Cinnamon is AMAZING at helping to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure !…I prefer the capsules
Just do ketogenic diets. See dr. KEN BERRY, STEN Ekberg
You should mix the two ACV tea with Ceylon cinnamon sounds amazing!
Hello. What is working for me is eggs, flourless bread ( Ezekiel) , and avocado ...and black coffee...maybe half teaspoon of sugar...
And water, apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon, and oranges..so far fruits still raise blood cc sugar, even raspberry and blackberries..so I avoid...is a learning process, checking what works for me has been the key
Yes! Do a video on oatmilk! I almost bought some. Glad I watched this video first!
Coming soon!
I add chia seed and ground flax seed meal to my oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup and sprinkled with celon cinnamon.
I nearly overdosed on insulin shots for diabetes. I was insulin resistant. Doc kept increasing the shot dosage and my blood sugar would go higher. If I skip breakfast, my blood sugar goes up 20-40 points.
Hi would you love a diet plan from me?
New sub. Here thank you for this great info,the word breakfast means braking a fast So it can be adjusted for your lifestyle,,if you happen to work a nightshift
etc. Your breakfast can be at 6 pm if needed just as long as your body is in a fasting mode,
I've opted for the 'Japanese option' omad.A bowl of rice and mashed mackerel or sardine.Heavily salted and spiced,cayenne,paprika etc.Finding it useful and cheap too.
Yum !
@@emh8861 Boring but functional that's excellent as part of a fasting regime.
Gross 🤢
White rice does spike insulin, though, just FYI.
@@ANGELSVEN Yes i concur.Yet another in a whole range of foodstuffs i'm having to be wary of.Choices are ridiculously limited for pescavaric diet fans.Everything seems tainted,even my beloved bread.The lack of choice is ridiculous for red-meat and green veg dodgers.
This video explains why my glucose level rises even when I eat protein. Thank you for the valuable information. Now I know how to change my diet and I’ll check my blood glucose after eating to see the change. Thank you 🙏
Avocado, bacon , and eggs are my favorite breakfast. Especially coming off a fast. A blueberry avocado smoothie with Cacao power is so creamy and delicious! I use water, no milk. I won't make this smoothie if there is no avocado to add. But, I prefer bacon, egg, and avocado.😊
I am medication free. T2. Fast from 18.30 to 11.30am most days. So love not forcing breakfast cause it's breakfast time. Lunch is generally a previous dinner left overs so lighter dinner with veg and or salad and small meat. Alternates with boiled eggs and cheese with diabetic friendly special baked breads. I remain within normal and pre-diabetic depending on my flu-like allergy state. When body fighting colds etc then spikes to around 11 mmo or 200mg. Seldom hit those highs.
I do 16:8 minimum IF. So my first consumption is a coffee with butter and HWC. But I am interested in adding a protein powder that is keto friendly and IR friendly
Just had breakfast at 8pm dried sea weed a quest bar lemon spindrift multivitamin supplement stack and a giant shot of greek olive oil infused with fresh rosemary,tyme, and sage. Lunch at 10:30pm includes a shot of balsamic vinegar from spain
My "go to" meals: 1) Coffee for breakfast (yes, I'm addicted), 2) breakfast (2 eggs/bacon) at 12:30 to 2 p.m. and then 3) dinner at 5 or 6 p.m., which is a huge salad with vinaigrette dressing PLUS 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar for weight loss and to make myself more acidic, or air fryer/roasted veggies (no potatoes or corn) with about 3-4 oz. protein (chicken breast or turkey burger) sprayed with avocado oil in the air fryer with lots of spices. If I feel a hunger pain in the evening that I HAVE to get rid of, I eat a tablespoon of cottage cheese and have a big mug of hot tea. I miss my Ezekiel toast with my eggs but because the keto diet balances my blood sugar so well, I don't crave it nearly as much as I used to. Oh, and I'm a sugar addict. But with keto, that has gone away about 80% and my insomnia has also gone away about 80%; I eat fruit (blueberries, strawberries, banana) now instead of refined sugar. And no snacking. Thanks for your information!
Wow I need this real good
I Apsolutley dont eat breakfast don't eat till 1ish and if I'm busy not till 5. But do drink plenty water dont need any additive in water. I'm 68 and can keep going eating once every 24 hrs. Usually lentils cooked in olive oil with onions turmeric garlic with cauliflower + brocoli. Job done😊
I'm with you 100%. I don't eat breakfast. I have a cup of homemade cold brewed black coffee or my version of bulletproof coffee (black cold brewed coffee, 1 Tbsp MCT oil, 1 Tbsp organic unsweetened coconut milk). The hunger, if I have any, is gone in minutes, and I am full of energy, so I go right to things that I have to do. This all lasts about 3ish hours, so my first solid meal of the day is lunch. Btw, lunch can either be the bigger meal or smaller one of the day. I mix it up, depending on my mood, and what I have ready in the fridge (almost all my food is homemade.). I like to joke that since I'm half Spanish and half American, I may go Spanish (bigger meal) for lunch, or go American (smaller meal) for lunch. Take care.
👍👍
My favorite breakfast is steel cut oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, a little peanut butter and plain yogurt, blueberries and sunflower seeds. And an egg in some form.
My first meal is at 12 or 1pm. I eat lunch, stew. Next meal is at 6/7 pm low carb meal. Around 10.30 am I might have a coffee with cream and cardamom, cocoa, pumpkin spice in it so it s not bland taste. I lost 3kg in 1 month. I have to get rid of fatty liver too
I love the way u explain in your videos. Even the deaf will understand
Kait, even when i use to do ketogenic diet, i never eat breakfast. Now 2 months on carnivore /omad i feel awesome, and blood sugar early in the morning is under 100.💪💪💪. I drink worm water in the morning for my blood flow. But that's just me. Good luck everyone😀
Worm water?!
@@HealthCoachKait yes sweety... when you woke up each morning, first you go pipi, then go to your water machine and put a cup of worm water and drink it. This will help your blood flow to run easy thru your vesels, becouse during the night,your body relaxes, and the blood will flow slower. And never take hot shower in the morning, becouse your blood sugar will rise up quicly. I am not a doctor, i did my research on my own body. Your body is very smart, will let you know when, how or what it needs. That's why when i start keto/ ketovore/ and fasting 4 months ago, i never fallow those recipes with flour or so call keto sweetners. I only use to eat non starchy veggies, and fatty healthy meats. Now i do carnivore/omad, and it's so easy to listen to my body, while it heals. Good luck beautiful😘😘😘
@luciavasile2895 you mean warm water, not worm 🪱. Just a little spelling mistake 🌷
@@whatever-ou2he ok...thanks🤣
I use steal cut oats. I add butter to it when they're done boiling. Steal cut oaks take a lot loner to boil til soft but so much healthier and satisfying.
Thanks! The biggest eye-opener for me was what you said about Oat Milk. I have been using it daily! Guess I'll stop doing that!
Video explaining the problems with oat milks is coming next week ❤️
ua-cam.com/video/sAqrXPIJ17w/v-deo.html
Ya know what Kait am feeling this video and your vibe and I'am also looking to take control of my eating habits and I think you can help me with this !
🥰🥰
I have skipped breakfast at times in the past and noticed small weight drops over time. I have gone strict KETO few months also in past and lost chunks of weight, but sticking to a ketogenic diet is difficult is one is used to a "normal" diet. Last few weeks I've been going back to skipping breakfast again, not eating after 9pm and also ensuring m my first meal, round lunch time, is carb restricted. I have dropped 1kg per week just from that. I also noticed I actually get less hungry now as the insuline is more managed.
In 2001, Dr. Atik was the first to introduce the low-carb Atkin diet. Consuming only 20g carb. Back then, i lost 21kg. The only problem i had was constipation.
Now, there is so much info on the net regarding these low-carb , keto diets, and the health benefits are huge.
I remembered paying for the starter kit.
My diet plan
Mornings lemons water on an empty stomach.
10am two eggs ( however you chose to make them)
Snack : cheese/nut or berries and cream.
Lunch : Tuna salad
I love tea, so i would have my 4pm tea with cream as a substitute to milk. I would add my stevia to kill my sugar. craving.
Dinner protein only.
Nothing eles works for me!
Thanks for the video. I’m putting a plan together to be the strongest version of myself.
❤️❤️
Our biggest problem is not fat and meats, it is vegetables. We know about corn, peas, potatoes, etc. But what is a good list of veggies to eat. Also I have heard that if we bake a potatoe , then freeze it and rebake it, it is much better for your insulin resistance, is that true? Thanks, Bob
The best and simplest discussion of the three macronutrients. Have struggled with how to combine them into my meals. Thanks for simplifying it. I practice Intermittent fasting but occasionally get the headaches in the morning. I will try adding an electrolyte to my morning glass of warm water. Great Video....
Glad you found this helpful! You might also like my video on how to put together meals for IR where I expand on this more 🤗 ua-cam.com/video/GUyrp8eL7mk/v-deo.html
Thank you for the information. Can you please give a recipe or recipes for a smoothie for diabetes.
My Favorite Breakfast is a 16oz black coffee infused with coconut oil and collagen powder.
This is an excellent video! BEAUTIFULLY explained 👏🏾 👌
I like 3 butter fried eggs, 2 strips of bacon crisp, and one piece of toast buttered. I know, the bread. But is one slice ( 10g ) too much?
I am 62 and was diagnosed with PCOS at age 21. Back then girls like me were prescribed birth control to help with heavy periods and extreme pain from endometriosis and fibroids. Fast forward to age 50 and found out I am glucose intolerant and have severe liver disease due to being improperly treated for the underlying effects of PCOS. Gynecologist didn't know the long-term ramifications. I was blessed to be introduced to a new gynecologist who knew exactly what to do and made me hyper aware of what needed to be done going forward. What Kait is saying is true. Don't follow mainstream media, AMHA or FDA advice. They have been misleading us for years to drive up the profits of big pharma to help them recover millions invested in useless drugs, namely statins. A good diet and exercise can replace every age progression illness you may have. Best wishes!
I can’t eat avocado, is there something I can substitute that would have the same effect?
What protein powder do you suggest? Thanks Elaine
nr 1 works perfectly, I can go without eating brekfest for many hours and I don't feel hungry just because I stick to a diet similar to Kato's. This energy effect works very well for many hours on fat metabolism. That's why it's enough for me to drink bitter coffee with a teaspoon of good coconut oil for breakfast.
Nutrient intake takes place in a window of 5-6 hours with a variety of valuable nutrients from many good sources!, but without sugars and with a very limited supply of carbohydrates. So until then there is intermittent fasting and it works perfectly. Dinner must be nutritious and plentiful because it must be enough for me until the next dinner. In the meantime, I drink either good mineral water or green tea or raw cocoa. Hydration must be good in this form of diet. This style causes self-regulation of human metabolism. There are no high sugar options in the keto diet approach. A person can get rid of prediabetes and even diabetes. The whole secret of health lies in what we eat during these 5-6 hours and how often I physically move.
Yes, Oat Milk and Almond milk video would be helpful.
hello. Thank you for your help and enthusiasm is contagious. Does this mean I should eliminate any keto friendly vegetables with my breakfast ? Should my breakfast meal have 0 carbs ?
No, breakfast doesn’t need to be zero carbs 🙂 Any keto friendly veg you’re having is totally fine!
I found this very informative and will start to implement these today - I enjoy coconut and use it as oil, yoghurt and cream . I have everything in the pantry and two week before my next blood test - will let you know how I go. Thanks
Hi Kait, I am a healthy 67 year old man. Considering returning to the gym to start working out again. I will probably buy a "Plant based Protein" since I am somewhat lactose intolerant with dairy protein. I have been doing Intermittent Fasting now for 5 consecutive months and I feel absolutely fantastic. More energy, better memory and clear thinking, sleep better and longer, more relaxed and an overall better Health. I am 5'5" and weigh 135 lbs. QUESTION: How much protein should I consume after the workout? Also, should I drink some electrolytes before the workout? Thank you in advance. Keep up the great videos! 👍😎🤸♂️🚴♂️⛹️♀️
Electrolytes before a workout 👍 If you're going to buy a plant based protein I would save your money and just get your protein from food. You don't need to consume any amount straight after your workout. As long as you consume enough throughout the day timing doesn't matter 🤗
Try some collagen protein for post workout with water. Also grass fed beef during the day with eggs. I have grass fed mince with 2 eggs and split that into morning tea and lunch with a combined protein of 120 grams, around 60 grams of fat and super low carbs.
I do IF so my breakfast is more like lunch. I like scrambled eggs and bacon and a small amount of NuTrail keto “granola” (which is nuts, seeds, coconut with keto-friendly sweetener) with almond/coconut milk.
I was just diagnosed with diabetes and my cholesterol was 149. Do you think I should still be eating bacon and eggs for breakfast?… it’s been my go to for weight loss, with intermittent fasting.
Since I switched to fasting 18-6. I don’t eat until 12… end at 6. I’ve lost 37 pounds in a month.
I could never sleep after going to bed at night if i stopped eating at 6!
Congratulations
Did you follow a keto diet also?
Congratulations what kind of diet did you follow
Love your video first time watching you, thank you. ADA informs very wrong ways for diabetes. Watching your video to help me A1C was 6.6 in three months another blood test hope it drops. No I DO NOT EAT breakfast nor lunch, i eat around 4;00 pm and love eggs avocado maybe bacon,if you can help, thank you very much for your input.
I had my gallbladder removed 9 months ago and suffer with not being able to digest protein, especially eggs and beef! I feel extremely nauseous if I eat eggs:( Any suggestions as how to fix the digestion problem?
Love your videos they have been helping me change my eating habits for the better.
My question is, is eating home made Chinese food ok for diabetics?
Hi Kait, I am new to PCOS dieting and appreciate your videos! However, it is difficult at times to make a complete meal plan that accounts for different pieces of advice-- for example, I read that bacon was not recommended for women with PCOS as we want to avoid processed meats (sad for me, a lover of sliced turkey and bacon!) which are high in sodium, trans fat, and nitrates. I wondered if your recommendation for eggs and bacon means that in your experience, a bit of bacon in the morning is alright? Really any thoughts you have on this or on lunch meat (without white bread) will be very helpful, if you have the time! Thank you so much!
I doubt she meant that you have to have bacon. Just foods that don’t cause a glucose spike ie fat and protein and low carb vegetables.
Have you tried uncured bacon cold cuts?
I buy bacon without the nitrates. There are more healthier versions now, but they cost more. Processed lunch meats aren't good. Better to eat organic whole turkey/chicken/beef that's sliced up.
I like huevos racheros with black beans, bacon and avocado. Or just an avocado smashed on toast with a little salt and a couple of messy eggs. I also eat blueberries/mandarin oranges and whole milk yogurt with collagen supplement in my morning tea or golden milk. Steak, mushrooms, avocado, and tomato slices with a poached egg to drizzle yoke is good. small toasted french bread slices, with ham on top then sautéed spinach and a poached egg for yoke driizzle. so yummy.
