@abbeyskitchen can you please do a video about Pycnogenol. 🙏 It looks like there are actually some scientific studies out there. I tried berberine and it didn't seem to do much, but this looks more promising. 🙂🤞
Only did one of Glucose Goddess' hacks. I eat a savoury breakfast and greens and protein and fat before carbs. Never measured my insulin. All I know is that by not eating carbs alone, I can happily eat 3 meals a day and not 6 or ten snacks like I used to.
Exactly like me! :) It's a great hack! I used to add the vinegar and some minutes of moving around (doing the dishes, pushups at the kitchen counter). Works perfectly!
Exactly! I am currently only eating 1-2 meals a day and using her advice along with Sten Ekberg’s. I won’t buy any “health supplements” because the idea of good health is not needing supplements unless there is a disease or chronic issue, however, her tips and tricks absolutely work to reduce cravings and increase satisfaction. Sten Ekberg is also great. Between the two of them, they’re healing my relationship with my body, not just my relationship with food.
I have insulin resistance. I have PCOS. I'm pre-diabetic. Jessie's advice has helped me get started on my journey to getting my glucose levels under control. So, thank you for not cherry picking only those things that you disagree with, and dismissing her out of hand. She does say a lot of good things, that are helpful, but the general population doesn't need to follow her religiously.
Completely agree. Pre diabetic here too and got diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to go on insulin to manage it. Jesses advice helped me to manage it with low amount of insulin and now that I have given birth I am trying to not develop a type 2 diabetes. However, the anti spike pill doesn’t make sense to me at this moment and also doesn’t ship to my country so I can take her advice and get benefits from it.
@@artsysolankiI was put on metformin because my fasting insulin was a bit high (12), and my dad had type 2 diabetes. It has unpleasant side effects in the beginning but within a month they were gone. It works with a controlled diet but I didn't quit carbs. So after less than a year my insulin is ~5. So talk to an endocrinologist, you don't need special pills shipped to you, just a good specialist to find a good option.
I love this comment, and am in a similar situation as you. GG’s “hacks” definitely work somewhat, but totally agree that people don’t need to be treating her info and influencing as the be-all, end-all.
Glucose Goddess worked for me! Started about a month ago and I saw change. I make all my meals with protein, vegetables, and a carb some fats or snack on healthy fats. I started having one serving size of veggies before meals and cut all my cravings and I truly remained full and satisfied. It worked for me.
Thank you for all of this great information! After all of these years with Type 2 diabetes, I'm still amazed at what a 30 minute walk after a meal does to lower my blood sugars.
All I know is I couldn't lose weight or maintain weight loss until Glucose Goddess. Greens first, protein second, carbs last. Move for 10 minutes after eating. I have made zero changes to my sedatry lifestyle and diet. This shit works!! I'm down 15 pounds. I would never it possible.
I love this lady and her tips. She’s educated, does not endorse any crazy diet, but just gives tips that will help with blood sugar, which is also helpful in weight loss
My take away from this video is to eat like the Mediterranean cultures do. Small breakfast, big lunch, tiny dinner, long walk after meals, lots of fiber & olive oil, etc. Luckily for me I live in Greece so I should be able to pull it off.
❤ everything the Glucose Goddess talks about is based in science. But the reason I love her videos, books and message is that she’s not giving out crazy recommendations… Everything is built on logic and she understands how people’s lives work and days change, and she gives great advice as to how you can work with all of these guidelines and just incorporate small changes with impactful results. She doesn’t recommend parsing your salad part by part and eat each individual item by itself, and says that would be crazy✨… She does not say that.
I'm going to admit it: I get a little discouraged when I see Canadian UA-camrs being sponsored by companies that don't ship to Canada. It feels like false advertising, especially without disclaiming that they don't ship to Canada.
@@natalieeubank4533 I think its more about the whole thing of "omg I love this product" but then said product doesn't even ship to your country... That's why it feels like false advertisement
Been following Glucose Goddess for 3 weeks already and clothes fitting better and that bastard roll around my waist that crept on me in last 2 years (and ive been working out!) is finally going down! I think she is excellent and has definitely helped me. Very sustainable way of eating too and no fads!
I'm a type 1 diabetic. The first half of this vid are PRO TIPS. The one I use most often is exercise after eating. I can be at 250ng/dl one minute, dose a couple units, walk for 15-30 mins and I drop under 100. Conversely, when I had classes for like 4-5 hours straight, preventing me from walking too often, it didn't matter what I ate or how much I dosed. I ALWAYS finished those classes at 200 or higher and it ruined the rest of the day every time. I started taking 10 minutes out of each class to walk up and down the hall and my college even got me an acomodation where my professors would speak into a mic and I'd wear earbuds while walking.
Hey abbey would you consider making monthly food favorites videos? Either meals/snacks you cooked/prepared or specific items you found at the grocery store?
Much needed video. Admittedly, I’m kind of into these glucose dampening hacks…and can’t quite articulate WHY lol I think a video about WHY one would do these hacks would be useful, is it for weight loss or just for people trying to manage or avoid diabetes
I think it simply gives us a sense of control over our health. We mostly don't know how our food is grown and sometimes prepared, there is a lot of uncertainty these days, lots of chronic stress issues etc. Having these hacks gives us something relatively easy we can follow that could improve our health so it feels good. Also it's better than extreme diets like keto that are impossible to follow for some of us.
The obsession with blood sugar will have dire consequences.. It's edging out even basic common sense nutrition. What ever happened to get more vegetables AND fruits? The focus on eating whole unprocessed foods. The focus on fiber and color and nutrients. All of which is now replaced by protein oreos and pounding in as much as possible. You know what all the areas with the greatest longevity (including Blue Zones) and health outcomes are not doing with diet? Being scared of carbs. Eating hyper processed protein food to get as much as possible. Being scared of eating a damn apple alone. Yeah, refined carbs are bad for you. You know what is not refined? An apple. A banana. A potato. It's just carb fear rebranded, and it's obnoxious. It's really the wrong thing to trend in a country with an excess of processed food and defiecency of produce... which income inequality and inflation only makes worse.
What r u talking about. Jesse never says to avoid carbs🤦🏼♀️😂 she says to choose healthier carbs and gives u hacks u can do to eat ur carbs with lower spikes,,like eating a baby vinegar salad before ur big plate of spaghetti ..and move for 10min after…she also recommends common sense nutrition like eating more Whole Foods just as unsaid. I have 2 type 1 diabetic children so I’ve looked into her work, though I will agree there’s an awful lot of carb fear going around in general. It’s also true thT different people handle different amounts of carbs differently, and that the type of carbs really do make a difference..like eating an apple is healthier then a Oreo..but it is also true that the apple still spikes a diabetics blood sugar regardless. That doesn’t mean don’t eat it, that means eat it smart.
Incredible how you said what she constantly says but worded it to sound wise and edgy... and people lack enough literacy to agree... amazing how some people seem to exist in vacuum of their misunderstandings and still be applauded
The thing is, our glucose spikes are a good thing to be "obsessed" about. It's the root cause for people being in a rollercoaster of eating poorly, obesity and diabetes so im not suprised people are getting "obsessed" with it. You go on about eating disorders yourself well this is a big catalyst for that! Once you get in to it, you never go back because you realise how much better you feel besides looking better!
Unfortunately, Jessie's Glucose Goddess hacks play on my distorted eating. I want to get on it but the 'suggestions' are just too triggering at the moment even though she says they are just 'guidelines.' To be honest, the whole 'lowering blood glucose concept around meals' is pretty triggering for me personally. I can't help but read the concepts of 'better for health/supports digestion' as rules (which they kind of are) if you want to 'benefit'. You don't do them = not the best for body, you do them = more helpful/lower blood sugar etc. I know it's not exactly like this and I probably could communicate it clearer but these are the struggles I am finding with my distorted eating.
You are not alone. I watched a few of her videos after getting diagnosed with prediabetes, and immediately felt overwhelmed by all of the guidelines that definitely felt like rules to me. Her content is not for me, but I have found my own way to incorporate some of her tips.
I totally clicked on this video because of the thumbnail with that so unusual fashionista who always looks like she's being interviewed by Vogue lol. I don't even listen to what she says, I'm too fascinated by the juxtaposition of her high fashion clothes and nerd from the 70s hair/makeup. I was expecting this to be a roast or praise of her and was here for the drama, but I forgot whose channel this is and got educated and inspired instead. That's a lot of info to take in! I usually listen to videos at 1.75, but had to slow this one down and rewind multiple times to try and comprehend all the info before coffee. Definitely have to save this video for future reference. Holy wow - a health influencer actually sharing links to all their sources? Unbelievable! I used to date a guy in the early 90s who had weird compulsions surrounding meals: he would always sit and have another full drink after he finished eating, and then we'd have to go walk around for a half hour our so. He thought the extra liquid helped digestion, as did the walking, as staying upright would give your stomach more room to work and gravity would help move it along. He was also crazy enough to say you had to bite the heads off of French fries first, or they'd come back to life in your stomach, so I never gave much credence to his theory. I drink a lot with my meals, so I don't fuss about having another glass after, but I still really enjoy the after meal walk. Glad to know it's good for me lol. You are so much more helpful than the doctor who diagnosed me as hypoglycemic and the only guidance they gave me was, "If you want a donut for breakfast, eat bacon and egg first."
Im sorry but she never says we need to take pills. She actually educates people on how to eat so you don’t need to take pills. She is very educated in her field and in case people don’t want to follow those racks they do have the option to take capsules which are formulated for the same results. That’s all.
I am rewatching this just to understand what she’s talking about and she literally made protein snacks whilst talking all this data and information - I know she’s an expert and she has prepped the script but omg kudos to you Abbey! Also, what’s that red thing she added to the food processor?
Nice to know about the daylight eating. Nice list. Thanks. So following Glucose Goddess cut my A1C over a 3 month period and cut my fasting glucose by half. Glucose Godess doesnt say you have to eat all food groups separately. This is a mistaken belief people have who have only given it a cursory glance and haven’t studied the whole thing.
💙Abbey I can’t wait to watch you react to this! I’ve watched her content before so I’m curious to see your reaction haha. I’m recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea and your channel is a very GOOD influence on me💙I have to remind myself to watch people like you who help those of us like me who are in recovery/healing themselves✨I love you keep doing what you do!!! (You’ve also introduced me to built bars which I love!!)
If I may, I'd like to request video on protein and fibre types and how they effect the body along with how they work together and recipes that maximise their effectiveness for gut health and weight management/building lean muscle. Thank you.
I would love that! I have tendency to eat the same few protein sources, so it would be really helpful to know different types I should be prioritizing as well
I would love to watch a video about that too! Also about the specific differences between animal and plant-based proteins and if they are truly interchangeable from a nutritional point of view.
Thank you so much for this video! I got Glucose Goddess all over my feed last month and I found myself really believing her words. I even did the ACV water in the morning and 🤮 yuck. Couldn’t keep it up. I will take her advice to have a protein rich savory breakfast because that’s what I like to do anyway, but bottom line: why should a normal healthy person care about their glucose this much??
You don't have to do all the tips she gave, but it's very important to be in control of the glucose levels we put into our bodies. Many of the symptoms that people experience today, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental problems, are due to a high concentration of glucose/fructose in food because it harms our brain function. I recommend you read studies by Dr. Aman, he even recommends not touching sugar at all, our body knows how to function perfectly without it.
Thank you for all the info and discussing everything without prejudice. I truly think every body is different and reacts differently to everything. This video has been very useful. Thank you again!
The thing is, insulin resistance and PCOS have also become more common which explains why people are more invested in controlling their blood sugars.. as much as I personally am not diabetic and should just eat mindfully, i also have PCOS and IR and i definitely want to prevent diabetes from happening...
Great video, thanks for sharing. I think what folks like "Glucose Goddess" do a bit too much of is to fear-mongering, also making half-true claims, cherry-picking data and things along those lines. It's quite common for influencers, especially those with a bias. If it helps someone, great, nothing wrong with that, but in general I prefer a more realistic and objective influence. Not just because I despise all that fear-mongering and inaccuracy, but also because long-term it's just better for people out there, better for scientific advance, talking to your doctor, reducing support for scammers and much more.
People become diabetic by eating foods throughout their life that causes glucose spikes. Eventuall6 your pancreas wears out and your body no longer responds to your insulin. Everyone’s blood sugar spikes after eating something sweet, even if you are not diabetic. Glucose Goddess advice of drinking vinegar in water or eating raw veggies can mute the spikes, you will feel better and you won’t become insensitive to your insulin. A couple of weeks ago Abby talked about eating a plate of veggies while you are cooking prior to eating. She got her info from Glucose Goddess, but didn’t mention tha5 fact.
Blood sugar balance can help with energy levels, satiety and mood, even if you’re non-diabetic. Less of a concern for sure, but can be worth considering
@AbbeysKitchen as type 2 who is constantly worrying about glucose levels (while using a CGM) i guess I just cant wrap my head around willingly putting yourself through all that.
As someone with type 1 diabetes who literally has no choice but to monitor blood sugar every minute of the day and have it inform every decision I make, I WISH I could not think about it and I don’t know why anyone would give themselves that mental load when they don’t need to.
I had gestational diabetes and what always always worked for me was a 10 minute fast walk after eating, protein and fiber and a lot of peanuts together with sugary/starchy stuff if I craved something sweet 😂
On the timing of carbs-- I'm now very confused!! I thought lots of carbs at lunch leads to an afternoon slump, and its better to prioritize carbs in the evening meal to blunt cortisol and support sleep. Please can you do a whole video on this!!
Glade to see you doing these interactive vid's again, afterall i wouldn't mind a few recipes from abby's kitchen 😎 (how'd the protein receipe turnout anyway? lol) the eat like a king at breakfast and a prince at lunch works perfect, regarding other meals i'll eat depending on the training
Being highly educated in nutrition really helped the clowns who suggested we eat the food pyramid and cereal for breakfast in the 80s and 90s. But seriously, the Glucose goddess hacks really worked for me.
Hi Abbey do you have any opinions on microplastics in food? what levels of microplastics should cause concern and what should be "safe"? I found out that my favorite brand of milk (fairlife) has been accused of having high levels of microplastics lately but have not done research or know about what that entails. Any thoughts?
Unrelated to this video, but I would love to see a video about ARFID. I likely don't meet the clinical requirements for a diagnosis, but I'm close. It would be very helpful to get some general tips!
Well, Jessi Inchauspe/Glucose goddes does in fact not tell you to cut your carbs, but gives these ten "hacks" to moderate how you blood sugar will react to your meals. Eating veggies first, then protein and fats and carbs last; eating lots of fiber in combination with carbs, and some more stuff, like eating sweet stuff as a desert instead of between meals. She even advocates for chocolate cake in the evening, and adds protein /joghurt to them and also tells you that you do not need this antispike stuff, if you incorporate some of those hacks into your life. If your war against food and wellness influencers always starts by making false and to wide statements about what these influencers really tell, you are damaging your trustworthyness, because oversimplifying and falsely summarize it, you are only attacking the strawmen. Saw the same with Doctor Mike and others. You are not doing any good with this, in fact you are doing the f*** same thing that you critize those influencers for. Cherrypicking data and using these cherrypics to devalue everything that comes from the influencer side of the aisle. Fun fact: I watched the whole videos of the gluccose goddes (and yes, I cringe everytime I read/write this 'title', as well as when she calls her audience 'angels' - but you know what: that is not a valid point to dismiss her content). And I tried implementing those hacks into my life. Its easy and doesn't take anything away from me. I still have Ice cream in the evening, I just eat it as a desert after dinner and topp it with some plain yogurth. I am not wearing a cgm. the amount of veggies and within them fiber I eat in day has doubled. Since I follow those hacks (around 2 months now) one of my biggest food problems is almost gone: I am not constantly hungry and craving for food and sweets. I am actually satiated for hours after a meal. Before that, you could make an alarm clock out of my appetite and cravings. Every 1,5-2 hours I NEEDED food, got very hungry (to the point of having real hefty stomach pains) and was on a constant rollercoaster between cravings and overeating and bloating. No, I am not diabetic and probably not pre-diabetic, but have some severe mental health conditions so I struggle a lot with regulating mood and emotions. I am really overweight, I had around 60kg of excess weight. I did a monitored diet for 1,5 years and managed to loose 30kg, after that I had to take a break from dieting as I just couldn't restrict my eating anymore. So I gained 5 kg backs in around a year and am now trying to just stay at this weight and not gain anymore. those hacks helped me with that, quite a bit! And if that was only the placebo-effect of me believing those hacks would have that result: its 2 months now. No placebo-effect has ever lasted me that long.
Type two diabetic here. Not everyone can control their diabetes simply through diet. And lifestyle is not the sole predictor of diabetes. My mother, grandmother, and great grandmother were also diabetic. Heredity plays an important role. I take a number of medications, and insulin to keep my blood sugar under control.. I don't object to taking medication. In the days before manufactured insulin diabetes could be a death sentence.
Could you share more about the timing of the after-meal-walk? Does it need to be immediately after the meal to help, or can it just be within an hour or two? Thanks! ❤
@CallieCoplen When I had gestational diabetes I used to clean up the dishes after eating and then go for a walk inmediately after. It always did wonders in my case. If I waited for an hour it did not have the same effect. I had a lot of time for experimenting 😂
Hi Abbey, I have a video topic request. I’m a 45 year old woman in perimenopause. Hormonal fluctuations, bloating (like, ALL THE TIME), heavy periods, fatigue etc.. etc… Should our diets change dramatically during this transition of life? Thank you 😊
51 and understand more than I'd like. Drastically reducing added sugars and white flour, both of which are inflammatory, has helped me a lot. Especially with the hot flashes.
I love how you disparage the Glucose Goddess/Glucose Revolution stuff at the beginning of the video and then proceed to go over everything she goes over.
As a type 1 diabetic of 25 years the trend of worrying about blood sugars levels was a surprise to me when it started happening... and frustrating to me to see influencers get access to CGMs when they are sometimes impossible for diabetics to get when struggling with insurance issues. That being said, this video was really interesting. Two things really stuck out to me. For type 1 diabetics our insulin sensitivity is actually much lower in the morning and eating a higher carb breakfast, even oatmeal sadly, can set me up for a roller coaster ride of a blood sugar day. It's interesting that this the exact opposite for non-diabetic people. Second, years ago I mentioned to my nutritionist that I sometimes ate the carbs of my meal last to prevent a blood sugar spike (when possible). My thought was that if I give myself insulin 20 minutes before I eat and then I eat the veggies, protein, fat, etc the insulin will start being effective as I start eating the carbs. It was so interesting to hear that there actually is science to back up my theory! And also thank you for the note about cinnamon. If I have to hear one person tell me that I can cure my diabetes with cinnamon, I think I would lose my mind. Thanks for the interesting and informative video!
Hi Abbey, I’ve been following and enjoying your content for years and now studying to become an RD. Generally love your approach to nutrition advice and especially your nuanced take on gentle nutrition. Given that you often promote LMNT on your channel, I was wondering if you could do a deep dive on the science behind it. It is a LOT of sodium for the average person who probably is already getting too much sodium and it seems that its recommended use case would be very particular - athletes who are sweating a lot, maybe lactating moms, or people who’ve recently had GI distress that caused vomiting/diarrhea. And in the latter case, wouldn’t it actually be more beneficial for it to contain some glucose to improve water absorption and thus rehydration in the gut via sodium-glucose cotransporters? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!!
I really like this video. Could you clarify the improvements associated with fiber and fat (segment starts about 7 minutes in)? Abbey shares statistics, but the screen reports different numbers and the summary table seems to align with what Abbey was saying. But I will be honest, there were so many different numbers flying around it was hard to verify. Thanks in advance.
Jesus if someone didn't have an eating issue before this video we certainly do afterwards 😅. The glucose goddess just creates sooo much anxiety around food order and food. Ffs when did it all become so hard?! Most cultures start with a soup or salad which is exactly what she preaches she just made loads of dosh off everyone trying to 2.0 themselves.
As a fellow t-1 diabetic I need insulin to help to manage my diabetes but admittedly I have found from experimenting with eating higher protein lower carb with a combination of good fats with a good amount of fibre to work best for my situation although I do understand that all body types are different. Although I'm also Celiac so I do also eat gluten-free 😎 which is a big help to my diabetes because if I eat gluten my major symptom is it messes my blood sugars around majorly in a negative way. But just sharing what works for me and not giving advice though as everyone is different 😎
I discovered that eating protein -- such as a meatball or two! -- prior to eating something carby really changed my blood sugar spikes. I'm a diabetic so this was shocking, and kinda cool. Also the vinegar bit works but tastes a whole lot better as a pickled cucumber. Not so weird, ya know.
Obession with blood sugar!!!!!!???? I stopped watching the video at this point... maybe you made some useful points following that, but the first sentence undermines the importance of the topic also I am sorry, could you pelase talk to a decent endocrinologist...... do you have any idea how many women after childbirth suffer from insuline resistancewithout knowing it and the only thing they know that they are unable to lose weight and having also problems with thyroid. Blood sugar is also the most important factor in aging, developing Alzheimer.....etc This is one of the most important thing without the misinformation and useless pills unless it is prescription or maybe inositol or berberine. Quick question: what is Hunger Crushing Combo for.... to regulate absorbtion of carbs which will regulate your hunger. Cheers from my dietetitian and endocrinologist. Lost 18kgs with timed and measured "HCC" blood glucose control diet.
I was worried I had diabetes for a while but I was like wait maybe I have pots. Which makes more sense since I did monitor my blood sugar for a while and it was at normal levels.
I have a question about the timing of carbs - moderate carb morning seems to make sense to me, but I have a doubt about high carbs in the afternoon and low carb in the evening. I heard that eating carbs helps with sleep, and I’ve seen recommendations to eat less carbs in the afternoon to prevent the midday slump, while it’s recommended to eat more carbs at night to promote better sleep. So these recommendations seem pretty contradictory, how might I reconcile it?
I think the recommendations being given are for people struggling with insulin resistance or who want to lose weight but are hampered by glucose spikes throughout the day. The timings Abby gave are based on studies which found that we are more insulin sensitive in the morning, or benefit from loading our carbs in the beginning of the day. If eating a higher carb meal in the evening works for you and your sleep then go for it.
I think this over obsession with carbs being the demon of all food issues, is the issue!! carbs are in general wonderful for us.. as long as they're not processed and refined then enjoy as part of a healthy balanced diet, let's keep things simple for the most part🥴✌️ !!
I had to turn my closed captioning to ger the right slepping of gu gum. Then looked it up Is guar gum fiber better than psyllium husk? While both forms of fiber are helpful in the management of hyperlipidemia, psyllium appears to be more suitable in the management of motility disorders, such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.
This information has been out there for at least a decade so the “Glucose Goddess “ isn’t saying anything new. She just does it wearing high heels and a thigh high slit in her her dress.
7:17 the amount you said here and what you wrote down at the table is different. Why is that?? You wrote the exact same thing in the studies for other variables
16:58 ummm did I hear that right? We should maintain a healthy body weight? Because I thought you said fat people can be just as metabolically healthy?
Be aware that if you order the anti spike formula you are committing to 2 months minimum order before you can cancel. Pretty sneaky to bury it in the Terms & Conditions. I don’t know anyone who has time to read through all that. The pills did absolutely nothing for me and now I’m stuck paying for another month. It’s just not right to have to pay for something that doesn’t work!
I think you should have mentioned that the obsession with the glucose spikes is non sense in people who are young and healthy, which is what I see all the time in here (bagels made with almond flour, machines to measure your glucose, etc) Go to your dr and get tests every now and then and eat healthy. It is not that complicated
God helped me come across Jessie's videos. I started incorporating her glucose spike hacks into my life about 2 weeks ago and my eczema has not flared up! Not a common occurrence for me recently. Thank You God for helping me through Jessie's videos!❤
I’d love for you to evaluate the advice of @IlanaMuhlsteinRD, Nutrition Babe. Who does not eat or recommend eating any starchy carbohydrates, even complex carbohydrates. I had followed her and had to unsubscribe because she recommend only eating protein and vegetables. Not sustainable/realistic: examples are making buns out of cabbage and sub rolls out of a whole zucchini. NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SAME THING 🤦🏽♀️ She says that eating carbs in the evening meal makes our glucose spike. how can a registered dietitian continue to use pseudoscience when they have an evidence based degree: fyi, I can say this, as I have the same evidence-based degrees. Tired of the nutrition BS being spread across the community!
To the person doing the sound editing- I’m not 100% sure why but those mouse click sound effects in this video are very jarring. I could feel the sound in the back of my mouth. I don’t have a better way of explaining it lol 😂 to be fair, I have sensory processing issues so it’s probably just a me thing. But I figured it’d be worth mentioning in case it’s not just me
These are all just good principles that, fortunately, have always made sense for me, but being more aware of them is certainly good reason to build more sturdy habits. Good for me I like to have biggg breakfasts with things like yoghurt, eggs and beans, just starting strong with complex carbs, and incorporating fats in and protein from diverse sources, and that sets me up well for the whole day.
Even if the glucose goddess makes recommendations based in body science, she clearly is missing the social science factor. We don’t eat the broccoli first, the chicken second, the oil on its own, and then the sad rice. That to me is total nonsense. The best recommendation is to have a balanced diet (as has always been said) and that is it. You can definitely include certain recommendations but I think some things are getting out of hand.
Thanks again to LMNT for sponsoring this video! Head to DrinkLMNT.com/ABBEYSHARP to get your free sample pack with any drink mix purchase.
I would have, but like you, I'm Canadian and I'm not a UA-camr so they won't ship to me.
If only it didn't contain Stevia. Yuck
Agreed about the stevia. Would love to find a hydration drink without it or monk fruit.
Giving it a try!
@abbeyskitchen can you please do a video about Pycnogenol. 🙏 It looks like there are actually some scientific studies out there. I tried berberine and it didn't seem to do much, but this looks more promising. 🙂🤞
Only did one of Glucose Goddess' hacks. I eat a savoury breakfast and greens and protein and fat before carbs. Never measured my insulin. All I know is that by not eating carbs alone, I can happily eat 3 meals a day and not 6 or ten snacks like I used to.
Exactly like me! :) It's a great hack! I used to add the vinegar and some minutes of moving around (doing the dishes, pushups at the kitchen counter). Works perfectly!
@harmony3007 do you keep doing the movements after each meal?
Exactly! I am currently only eating 1-2 meals a day and using her advice along with Sten Ekberg’s.
I won’t buy any “health supplements” because the idea of good health is not needing supplements unless there is a disease or chronic issue, however, her tips and tricks absolutely work to reduce cravings and increase satisfaction. Sten Ekberg is also great. Between the two of them, they’re healing my relationship with my body, not just my relationship with food.
Me too 😊
I have insulin resistance. I have PCOS. I'm pre-diabetic. Jessie's advice has helped me get started on my journey to getting my glucose levels under control.
So, thank you for not cherry picking only those things that you disagree with, and dismissing her out of hand. She does say a lot of good things, that are helpful, but the general population doesn't need to follow her religiously.
Of course!! ❤
Completely agree. Pre diabetic here too and got diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to go on insulin to manage it. Jesses advice helped me to manage it with low amount of insulin and now that I have given birth I am trying to not develop a type 2 diabetes. However, the anti spike pill doesn’t make sense to me at this moment and also doesn’t ship to my country so I can take her advice and get benefits from it.
@@artsysolankiI was put on metformin because my fasting insulin was a bit high (12), and my dad had type 2 diabetes. It has unpleasant side effects in the beginning but within a month they were gone.

I love this comment, and am in a similar situation as you. GG’s “hacks” definitely work somewhat, but totally agree that people don’t need to be treating her info and influencing as the be-all, end-all.
Glucose Goddess worked for me! Started about a month ago and I saw change. I make all my meals with protein, vegetables, and a carb some fats or snack on healthy fats. I started having one serving size of veggies before meals and cut all my cravings and I truly remained full and satisfied. It worked for me.
Same here❤🥂💃
Where do you get glucose goddess?
Doesn’t taking berberine before a meal help avoid blood sugar spikes?
@@HH-gv8mx Glucose Goddess is a person on UA-cam 🤦🏻♀️
@@rosamoreno4794 haha I thought it was a supplement
@@HH-gv8mx How? She is in the photo, that is who the RD is talking about, the French Chemist. ??? Some of ya’ll are out lost in Left field.
Thank you for all of this great information! After all of these years with Type 2 diabetes, I'm still amazed at what a 30 minute walk after a meal does to lower my blood sugars.
All I know is I couldn't lose weight or maintain weight loss until Glucose Goddess. Greens first, protein second, carbs last. Move for 10 minutes after eating. I have made zero changes to my sedatry lifestyle and diet. This shit works!! I'm down 15 pounds. I would never it possible.
I love this lady and her tips. She’s educated, does not endorse any crazy diet, but just gives tips that will help with blood sugar, which is also helpful in weight loss
She's endorsing and even encouraging a crazy diet pill though so....
My take away from this video is to eat like the Mediterranean cultures do. Small breakfast, big lunch, tiny dinner, long walk after meals, lots of fiber & olive oil, etc. Luckily for me I live in Greece so I should be able to pull it off.
I love the doggie in the background for the first couple of clips. 🐕 Too cute❣️
Yep, the pooch had a nice little featured cameo appearance there...🐶😂
Jessy’s advice has helped me greatly. Yeah we should be aware on how we treat our bodies. I wish I found Jessy’s info earlier.
❤ everything the Glucose Goddess talks about is based in science. But the reason I love her videos, books and message is that she’s not giving out crazy recommendations… Everything is built on logic and she understands how people’s lives work and days change, and she gives great advice as to how you can work with all of these guidelines and just incorporate small changes with impactful results. She doesn’t recommend parsing your salad part by part and eat each individual item by itself, and says that would be crazy✨… She does not say that.
Thanks for clarifying that is exactly what I was thinking when I was listening to Abbey 😐
Jesse”s advises helped me a lot in reducing cravings❤
I'm going to admit it:
I get a little discouraged when I see Canadian UA-camrs being sponsored by companies that don't ship to Canada. It feels like false advertising, especially without disclaiming that they don't ship to Canada.
💯
I mean she has family members in America so your point is kinda meaningless
@@MagicShow-y4e how is that relevant at all? She lives in the GTA
How would she know that you don’t live in the us?
@@natalieeubank4533 I think its more about the whole thing of "omg I love this product" but then said product doesn't even ship to your country... That's why it feels like false advertisement
Been following Glucose Goddess for 3 weeks already and clothes fitting better and that bastard roll around my waist that crept on me in last 2 years (and ive been working out!) is finally going down! I think she is excellent and has definitely helped me. Very sustainable way of eating too and no fads!
Aren't (money-making) pills a fad?
I ❤️ cinnamon! Not to increase insulin sensitivity, but just because it is objectively the best spice, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. 😂
The 3 must haves in my spice cabinet = turmeric, cumin and cinnamon! I use them daily.
I find it actually does help somewhat with glucose, but it is definitely a great spice. :)
it tastes and smells really elegant so i agree 😂
Make sure you get the Ceylon cinnamon
@@nathaliyaminukshi8630 I only found the McCormack brand at Publix.
I'm a type 1 diabetic. The first half of this vid are PRO TIPS. The one I use most often is exercise after eating. I can be at 250ng/dl one minute, dose a couple units, walk for 15-30 mins and I drop under 100. Conversely, when I had classes for like 4-5 hours straight, preventing me from walking too often, it didn't matter what I ate or how much I dosed. I ALWAYS finished those classes at 200 or higher and it ruined the rest of the day every time. I started taking 10 minutes out of each class to walk up and down the hall and my college even got me an acomodation where my professors would speak into a mic and I'd wear earbuds while walking.
Hey abbey would you consider making monthly food favorites videos? Either meals/snacks you cooked/prepared or specific items you found at the grocery store?
Much needed video. Admittedly, I’m kind of into these glucose dampening hacks…and can’t quite articulate WHY lol I think a video about WHY one would do these hacks would be useful, is it for weight loss or just for people trying to manage or avoid diabetes
I think it simply gives us a sense of control over our health. We mostly don't know how our food is grown and sometimes prepared, there is a lot of uncertainty these days, lots of chronic stress issues etc. Having these hacks gives us something relatively easy we can follow that could improve our health so it feels good. Also it's better than extreme diets like keto that are impossible to follow for some of us.
The obsession with blood sugar will have dire consequences.. It's edging out even basic common sense nutrition. What ever happened to get more vegetables AND fruits? The focus on eating whole unprocessed foods. The focus on fiber and color and nutrients. All of which is now replaced by protein oreos and pounding in as much as possible.
You know what all the areas with the greatest longevity (including Blue Zones) and health outcomes are not doing with diet? Being scared of carbs. Eating hyper processed protein food to get as much as possible. Being scared of eating a damn apple alone. Yeah, refined carbs are bad for you. You know what is not refined? An apple. A banana. A potato.
It's just carb fear rebranded, and it's obnoxious. It's really the wrong thing to trend in a country with an excess of processed food and defiecency of produce... which income inequality and inflation only makes worse.
Yes!!
blue zones are a lie and you dont have to eat colors lol
@@GioBruno2006 most likely those were type1 diabetics who missing an organ and have to manage their blood sugars manually.
What r u talking about. Jesse never says to avoid carbs🤦🏼♀️😂 she says to choose healthier carbs and gives u hacks u can do to eat ur carbs with lower spikes,,like eating a baby vinegar salad before ur big plate of spaghetti ..and move for 10min after…she also recommends common sense nutrition like eating more Whole Foods just as unsaid. I have 2 type 1 diabetic children so I’ve looked into her work, though I will agree there’s an awful lot of carb fear going around in general. It’s also true thT different people handle different amounts of carbs differently, and that the type of carbs really do make a difference..like eating an apple is healthier then a Oreo..but it is also true that the apple still spikes a diabetics blood sugar regardless. That doesn’t mean don’t eat it, that means eat it smart.
Incredible how you said what she constantly says but worded it to sound wise and edgy... and people lack enough literacy to agree... amazing how some people seem to exist in vacuum of their misunderstandings and still be applauded
So glad youre bringing the cooking back!!!
The thing is, our glucose spikes are a good thing to be "obsessed" about. It's the root cause for people being in a rollercoaster of eating poorly, obesity and diabetes so im not suprised people are getting "obsessed" with it. You go on about eating disorders yourself well this is a big catalyst for that! Once you get in to it, you never go back because you realise how much better you feel besides looking better!
Unfortunately, Jessie's Glucose Goddess hacks play on my distorted eating. I want to get on it but the 'suggestions' are just too triggering at the moment even though she says they are just 'guidelines.' To be honest, the whole 'lowering blood glucose concept around meals' is pretty triggering for me personally. I can't help but read the concepts of 'better for health/supports digestion' as rules (which they kind of are) if you want to 'benefit'. You don't do them = not the best for body, you do them = more helpful/lower blood sugar etc. I know it's not exactly like this and I probably could communicate it clearer but these are the struggles I am finding with my distorted eating.
You are not alone. I watched a few of her videos after getting diagnosed with prediabetes, and immediately felt overwhelmed by all of the guidelines that definitely felt like rules to me. Her content is not for me, but I have found my own way to incorporate some of her tips.
100pc it's incredibly disordered and triggering
I totally clicked on this video because of the thumbnail with that so unusual fashionista who always looks like she's being interviewed by Vogue lol. I don't even listen to what she says, I'm too fascinated by the juxtaposition of her high fashion clothes and nerd from the 70s hair/makeup. I was expecting this to be a roast or praise of her and was here for the drama, but I forgot whose channel this is and got educated and inspired instead. That's a lot of info to take in! I usually listen to videos at 1.75, but had to slow this one down and rewind multiple times to try and comprehend all the info before coffee. Definitely have to save this video for future reference. Holy wow - a health influencer actually sharing links to all their sources? Unbelievable!
I used to date a guy in the early 90s who had weird compulsions surrounding meals: he would always sit and have another full drink after he finished eating, and then we'd have to go walk around for a half hour our so. He thought the extra liquid helped digestion, as did the walking, as staying upright would give your stomach more room to work and gravity would help move it along. He was also crazy enough to say you had to bite the heads off of French fries first, or they'd come back to life in your stomach, so I never gave much credence to his theory. I drink a lot with my meals, so I don't fuss about having another glass after, but I still really enjoy the after meal walk. Glad to know it's good for me lol.
You are so much more helpful than the doctor who diagnosed me as hypoglycemic and the only guidance they gave me was, "If you want a donut for breakfast, eat bacon and egg first."
Lol you're so right about the juxtaposition 😅😅 that gets me too🤭
The recommendations are similar but I like it when Abbey tells them rather than GG because it feels more calm and less fear mongering
Im sorry but she never says we need to take pills. She actually educates people on how to eat so you don’t need to take pills. She is very educated in her field and in case people don’t want to follow those racks they do have the option to take capsules which are formulated for the same results. That’s all.
Another fantastic video! Abbey, I love how you always include a healthy dose of scientific proof in your content!
I am rewatching this just to understand what she’s talking about and she literally made protein snacks whilst talking all this data and information - I know she’s an expert and she has prepped the script but omg kudos to you Abbey! Also, what’s that red thing she added to the food processor?
Nice to know about the daylight eating. Nice list. Thanks. So following Glucose Goddess cut my A1C over a 3 month period and cut my fasting glucose by half. Glucose Godess doesnt say you have to eat all food groups separately. This is a mistaken belief people have who have only given it a cursory glance and haven’t studied the whole thing.
Hi, this is intetesting. What was your A1C before and after? I'm on my journey to lower my A1C now.
💙Abbey I can’t wait to watch you react to this! I’ve watched her content before so I’m curious to see your reaction haha. I’m recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea and your channel is a very GOOD influence on me💙I have to remind myself to watch people like you who help those of us like me who are in recovery/healing themselves✨I love you keep doing what you do!!! (You’ve also introduced me to built bars which I love!!)
So glad my content has been supportive on your journey Jennifer, wishing you the best
Glucose goddess is wayyyyyy more educated on food science than a dietitian.
If I may, I'd like to request video on protein and fibre types and how they effect the body along with how they work together and recipes that maximise their effectiveness for gut health and weight management/building lean muscle. Thank you.
I would love this as well
I would love that! I have tendency to eat the same few protein sources, so it would be really helpful to know different types I should be prioritizing as well
I would love to watch a video about that too! Also about the specific differences between animal and plant-based proteins and if they are truly interchangeable from a nutritional point of view.
Love this video! So quick, easy to understand, and easy to apply!
Thank you so much for this video! I got Glucose Goddess all over my feed last month and I found myself really believing her words. I even did the ACV water in the morning and 🤮 yuck. Couldn’t keep it up. I will take her advice to have a protein rich savory breakfast because that’s what I like to do anyway, but bottom line: why should a normal healthy person care about their glucose this much??
A lot of healthy people have a family history of diabetes so these considerations can possibly be preventative, but yeah not everyone needs to.
You don't have to do all the tips she gave, but it's very important to be in control of the glucose levels we put into our bodies. Many of the symptoms that people experience today, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental problems, are due to a high concentration of glucose/fructose in food because it harms our brain function. I recommend you read studies by Dr. Aman, he even recommends not touching sugar at all, our body knows how to function perfectly without it.
Thank you for all the info and discussing everything without prejudice. I truly think every body is different and reacts differently to everything.
This video has been very useful.
Thank you again!
I'm really curious about something. Is there any point in non-diabetic people caring about blood sugar spiking? what does it actually achieve?
The thing is, insulin resistance and PCOS have also become more common which explains why people are more invested in controlling their blood sugars.. as much as I personally am not diabetic and should just eat mindfully, i also have PCOS and IR and i definitely want to prevent diabetes from happening...
Great video, thanks for sharing. I think what folks like "Glucose Goddess" do a bit too much of is to fear-mongering, also making half-true claims, cherry-picking data and things along those lines. It's quite common for influencers, especially those with a bias. If it helps someone, great, nothing wrong with that, but in general I prefer a more realistic and objective influence. Not just because I despise all that fear-mongering and inaccuracy, but also because long-term it's just better for people out there, better for scientific advance, talking to your doctor, reducing support for scammers and much more.
I will never understand why a non-diabetic would be worried about glucose levels. Your pancreas works fine.
Unless you’re a diabetic,even then, you can still have something sweet,just not as much as usual people do
But one may be harming it if they don't treat their body right, ie continuous glucose spikes all day long.
People become diabetic by eating foods throughout their life that causes glucose spikes. Eventuall6 your pancreas wears out and your body no longer responds to your insulin. Everyone’s blood sugar spikes after eating something sweet, even if you are not diabetic. Glucose Goddess advice of drinking vinegar in water or eating raw veggies can mute the spikes, you will feel better and you won’t become insensitive to your insulin. A couple of weeks ago Abby talked about eating a plate of veggies while you are cooking prior to eating. She got her info from Glucose Goddess, but didn’t mention tha5 fact.
Blood sugar balance can help with energy levels, satiety and mood, even if you’re non-diabetic. Less of a concern for sure, but can be worth considering
@AbbeysKitchen as type 2 who is constantly worrying about glucose levels (while using a CGM) i guess I just cant wrap my head around willingly putting yourself through all that.
My bf is a type 1 diabetic. When I tell you the rage he feels seeing people wear CGMs for "fun" lol...
As someone with type 1 diabetes who literally has no choice but to monitor blood sugar every minute of the day and have it inform every decision I make, I WISH I could not think about it and I don’t know why anyone would give themselves that mental load when they don’t need to.
100❤
Thank you for this fantastic video as well as including references. Very well done. Most youtube videos do not include any references.
Abbey, loved this video! Looking up your protein ball recipe too!
Im confused though, why the obsessive need to regulate blood sugar? I found this one a little hard to follow tbh
I had gestational diabetes and what always always worked for me was a 10 minute fast walk after eating, protein and fiber and a lot of peanuts together with sugary/starchy stuff if I craved something sweet 😂
Take a turmeric shot every time she says "bottom of the line" 😎 just kidding, loved the video!
I have now become immortal 😮
On the timing of carbs-- I'm now very confused!! I thought lots of carbs at lunch leads to an afternoon slump, and its better to prioritize carbs in the evening meal to blunt cortisol and support sleep. Please can you do a whole video on this!!
Glade to see you doing these interactive vid's again, afterall i wouldn't mind a few recipes from abby's kitchen 😎 (how'd the protein receipe turnout anyway? lol) the eat like a king at breakfast and a prince at lunch works perfect, regarding other meals i'll eat depending on the training
Being highly educated in nutrition really helped the clowns who suggested we eat the food pyramid and cereal for breakfast in the 80s and 90s. But seriously, the Glucose goddess hacks really worked for me.
Hi Abbey do you have any opinions on microplastics in food? what levels of microplastics should cause concern and what should be "safe"? I found out that my favorite brand of milk (fairlife) has been accused of having high levels of microplastics lately but have not done research or know about what that entails. Any thoughts?
Unrelated to this video, but I would love to see a video about ARFID. I likely don't meet the clinical requirements for a diagnosis, but I'm close. It would be very helpful to get some general tips!
Well, Jessi Inchauspe/Glucose goddes does in fact not tell you to cut your carbs, but gives these ten "hacks" to moderate how you blood sugar will react to your meals. Eating veggies first, then protein and fats and carbs last; eating lots of fiber in combination with carbs, and some more stuff, like eating sweet stuff as a desert instead of between meals. She even advocates for chocolate cake in the evening, and adds protein /joghurt to them and also tells you that you do not need this antispike stuff, if you incorporate some of those hacks into your life.
If your war against food and wellness influencers always starts by making false and to wide statements about what these influencers really tell, you are damaging your trustworthyness, because oversimplifying and falsely summarize it, you are only attacking the strawmen. Saw the same with Doctor Mike and others. You are not doing any good with this, in fact you are doing the f*** same thing that you critize those influencers for. Cherrypicking data and using these cherrypics to devalue everything that comes from the influencer side of the aisle.
Fun fact: I watched the whole videos of the gluccose goddes (and yes, I cringe everytime I read/write this 'title', as well as when she calls her audience 'angels' - but you know what: that is not a valid point to dismiss her content). And I tried implementing those hacks into my life. Its easy and doesn't take anything away from me. I still have Ice cream in the evening, I just eat it as a desert after dinner and topp it with some plain yogurth. I am not wearing a cgm. the amount of veggies and within them fiber I eat in day has doubled. Since I follow those hacks (around 2 months now) one of my biggest food problems is almost gone: I am not constantly hungry and craving for food and sweets. I am actually satiated for hours after a meal. Before that, you could make an alarm clock out of my appetite and cravings. Every 1,5-2 hours I NEEDED food, got very hungry (to the point of having real hefty stomach pains) and was on a constant rollercoaster between cravings and overeating and bloating. No, I am not diabetic and probably not pre-diabetic, but have some severe mental health conditions so I struggle a lot with regulating mood and emotions. I am really overweight, I had around 60kg of excess weight. I did a monitored diet for 1,5 years and managed to loose 30kg, after that I had to take a break from dieting as I just couldn't restrict my eating anymore. So I gained 5 kg backs in around a year and am now trying to just stay at this weight and not gain anymore. those hacks helped me with that, quite a bit!
And if that was only the placebo-effect of me believing those hacks would have that result: its 2 months now. No placebo-effect has ever lasted me that long.
Type two diabetic here. Not everyone can control their diabetes simply through diet. And lifestyle is not the sole predictor of diabetes. My mother, grandmother, and great grandmother were also diabetic. Heredity plays an important role. I take a number of medications, and insulin to keep my blood sugar under control.. I don't object to taking medication. In the days before manufactured insulin diabetes could be a death sentence.
Type 1 and activity absolutely helps to lower blood sugar, from workouts to walking to hoovering 😂
Could you talk about blackseed oil in your next video? I’ve been hearing many claims about its miraculous health benefits.
Biggest thing I heard was essentially that I’ve never been wrong for enjoying bread dipped in olive oil. 😂
Could you share more about the timing of the after-meal-walk? Does it need to be immediately after the meal to help, or can it just be within an hour or two? Thanks! ❤
@CallieCoplen When I had gestational diabetes I used to clean up the dishes after eating and then go for a walk inmediately after. It always did wonders in my case. If I waited for an hour it did not have the same effect. I had a lot of time for experimenting 😂
@@piroskamaga9351 thanks for the insight!
Jessie says within 90 minutes
Hi Abbey,
I have a video topic request.
I’m a 45 year old woman in perimenopause. Hormonal fluctuations, bloating (like, ALL THE TIME), heavy periods, fatigue etc.. etc…
Should our diets change dramatically during this transition of life?
Thank you 😊
Yes please 👆🏻
51 and understand more than I'd like. Drastically reducing added sugars and white flour, both of which are inflammatory, has helped me a lot. Especially with the hot flashes.
i clicked so fast when i saw this on my feed
I love how you disparage the Glucose Goddess/Glucose Revolution stuff at the beginning of the video and then proceed to go over everything she goes over.
As a type 1 diabetic of 25 years the trend of worrying about blood sugars levels was a surprise to me when it started happening... and frustrating to me to see influencers get access to CGMs when they are sometimes impossible for diabetics to get when struggling with insurance issues. That being said, this video was really interesting. Two things really stuck out to me. For type 1 diabetics our insulin sensitivity is actually much lower in the morning and eating a higher carb breakfast, even oatmeal sadly, can set me up for a roller coaster ride of a blood sugar day. It's interesting that this the exact opposite for non-diabetic people. Second, years ago I mentioned to my nutritionist that I sometimes ate the carbs of my meal last to prevent a blood sugar spike (when possible). My thought was that if I give myself insulin 20 minutes before I eat and then I eat the veggies, protein, fat, etc the insulin will start being effective as I start eating the carbs. It was so interesting to hear that there actually is science to back up my theory! And also thank you for the note about cinnamon. If I have to hear one person tell me that I can cure my diabetes with cinnamon, I think I would lose my mind. Thanks for the interesting and informative video!
Hi Abbey, I’ve been following and enjoying your content for years and now studying to become an RD. Generally love your approach to nutrition advice and especially your nuanced take on gentle nutrition. Given that you often promote LMNT on your channel, I was wondering if you could do a deep dive on the science behind it. It is a LOT of sodium for the average person who probably is already getting too much sodium and it seems that its recommended use case would be very particular - athletes who are sweating a lot, maybe lactating moms, or people who’ve recently had GI distress that caused vomiting/diarrhea. And in the latter case, wouldn’t it actually be more beneficial for it to contain some glucose to improve water absorption and thus rehydration in the gut via sodium-glucose cotransporters? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!!
I really like this video. Could you clarify the improvements associated with fiber and fat (segment starts about 7 minutes in)? Abbey shares statistics, but the screen reports different numbers and the summary table seems to align with what Abbey was saying. But I will be honest, there were so many different numbers flying around it was hard to verify. Thanks in advance.
Jesus if someone didn't have an eating issue before this video we certainly do afterwards 😅. The glucose goddess just creates sooo much anxiety around food order and food. Ffs when did it all become so hard?! Most cultures start with a soup or salad which is exactly what she preaches she just made loads of dosh off everyone trying to 2.0 themselves.
As a fellow t-1 diabetic I need insulin to help to manage my diabetes but admittedly I have found from experimenting with eating higher protein lower carb with a combination of good fats with a good amount of fibre to work best for my situation although I do understand that all body types are different. Although I'm also Celiac so I do also eat gluten-free 😎 which is a big help to my diabetes because if I eat gluten my major symptom is it messes my blood sugars around majorly in a negative way. But just sharing what works for me and not giving advice though as everyone is different 😎
I discovered that eating protein -- such as a meatball or two! -- prior to eating something carby really changed my blood sugar spikes. I'm a diabetic so this was shocking, and kinda cool. Also the vinegar bit works but tastes a whole lot better as a pickled cucumber. Not so weird, ya know.
Obession with blood sugar!!!!!!???? I stopped watching the video at this point... maybe you made some useful points following that, but the first sentence undermines the importance of the topic also I am sorry, could you pelase talk to a decent endocrinologist...... do you have any idea how many women after childbirth suffer from insuline resistancewithout knowing it and the only thing they know that they are unable to lose weight and having also problems with thyroid. Blood sugar is also the most important factor in aging, developing Alzheimer.....etc This is one of the most important thing without the misinformation and useless pills unless it is prescription or maybe inositol or berberine. Quick question: what is Hunger Crushing Combo for.... to regulate absorbtion of carbs which will regulate your hunger. Cheers from my dietetitian and endocrinologist. Lost 18kgs with timed and measured "HCC" blood glucose control diet.
Why not just eat real whole foods instead of supplements and powders?
I was worried I had diabetes for a while but I was like wait maybe I have pots. Which makes more sense since I did monitor my blood sugar for a while and it was at normal levels.
Very interesting video, thanks!
Doesn’t taking berberine before a meal help avoid blood sugar spikes?
I think you need to take it while eating, this is what my research concluded at any rate
@@tattlevixen2581 dr. Andrew Huberman suggests taking it right before a meal to avoid blood sugar spikes while eating
I have a question about the timing of carbs - moderate carb morning seems to make sense to me, but I have a doubt about high carbs in the afternoon and low carb in the evening. I heard that eating carbs helps with sleep, and I’ve seen recommendations to eat less carbs in the afternoon to prevent the midday slump, while it’s recommended to eat more carbs at night to promote better sleep.
So these recommendations seem pretty contradictory, how might I reconcile it?
I think the recommendations being given are for people struggling with insulin resistance or who want to lose weight but are hampered by glucose spikes throughout the day. The timings Abby gave are based on studies which found that we are more insulin sensitive in the morning, or benefit from loading our carbs in the beginning of the day.
If eating a higher carb meal in the evening works for you and your sleep then go for it.
I think this over obsession with carbs being the demon of all food issues, is the issue!! carbs are in general wonderful for us.. as long as they're not processed and refined then enjoy as part of a healthy balanced diet, let's keep things simple for the most part🥴✌️ !!
Thank you for this. But we aren’t addressing how ozempic is feeding this rage as well.
I had to turn my closed captioning to ger the right slepping of gu gum.
Then looked it up
Is guar gum fiber better than psyllium husk?
While both forms of fiber are helpful in the management of hyperlipidemia, psyllium appears to be more suitable in the management of motility disorders, such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.
Just curious about how often people should drink electrolyte drinks? (Non athlete)
Great video, thanks
FINALLY!!
Its so hard to know nowadays what to eat because everything looks dangerous depending who is saying it
This information has been out there for at least a decade so the “Glucose Goddess “ isn’t saying anything new. She just does it wearing high heels and a thigh high slit in her her dress.
Deadass ❤
7:17 the amount you said here and what you wrote down at the table is different. Why is that?? You wrote the exact same thing in the studies for other variables
16:58 ummm did I hear that right? We should maintain a healthy body weight? Because I thought you said fat people can be just as metabolically healthy?
Can someone tell me whether we're more insulin resistant in the morning or night he wording confused me :/
Are then umbers you say right or the written the first time or the written in the chart? Cause many dont match
I feel like a lot of this was reiterating what the glucose goddess advises
Be aware that if you order the anti spike formula you are committing to 2 months minimum order before you can cancel. Pretty sneaky to bury it in the Terms & Conditions. I don’t know anyone who has time to read through all that. The pills did absolutely nothing for me and now I’m stuck paying for another month. It’s just not right to have to pay for something that doesn’t work!
Would you say, that a piece of cheesecake would peak the sugar level less, than for example equally rich in carbs piece of a sponge cake?
Yes
I think you should have mentioned that the obsession with the glucose spikes is non sense in people who are young and healthy, which is what I see all the time in here (bagels made with almond flour, machines to measure your glucose, etc) Go to your dr and get tests every now and then and eat healthy. It is not that complicated
God helped me come across Jessie's videos. I started incorporating her glucose spike hacks into my life about 2 weeks ago and my eczema has not flared up! Not a common occurrence for me recently. Thank You God for helping me through Jessie's videos!❤
❤I love the Glucose Goddess ❤️
I love the glucose goddess and her tips have improved my inflammation
Please cover Paige Shay again. This woman is beyond ridiculous and further restricting and advising her viewers.
Yup..crazy pants‼️
Agree!!
2 min ago?!?! Where’s my sticker
Jessie advocates a savoury breakfast but some of us want fruit or smoothie...oats etc. I'd rather work on making it balanced than savoury
I've been noticing lately that you took the intro away. Is there a new intro in the works or didn't you just like it anymore?😅
I’d love for you to evaluate the advice of @IlanaMuhlsteinRD, Nutrition Babe. Who does not eat or recommend eating any starchy carbohydrates, even complex carbohydrates. I had followed her and had to unsubscribe because she recommend only eating protein and vegetables. Not sustainable/realistic: examples are making buns out of cabbage and sub rolls out of a whole zucchini. NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SAME THING 🤦🏽♀️ She says that eating carbs in the evening meal makes our glucose spike. how can a registered dietitian continue to use pseudoscience when they have an evidence based degree: fyi, I can say this, as I have the same evidence-based degrees. Tired of the nutrition BS being spread across the community!
To the person doing the sound editing- I’m not 100% sure why but those mouse click sound effects in this video are very jarring. I could feel the sound in the back of my mouth. I don’t have a better way of explaining it lol 😂 to be fair, I have sensory processing issues so it’s probably just a me thing. But I figured it’d be worth mentioning in case it’s not just me
So it’s better to eat eggs and cheese before bed than fish or beans as far as which one spikes your blood sugar more?
Glucose goddess is why we need people like abbey to debunk her ideas. Shes not educated in nutrition.
Im too dumb I don’t understand anything except its all in the grey area 😭
Finally
These are all just good principles that, fortunately, have always made sense for me, but being more aware of them is certainly good reason to build more sturdy habits. Good for me I like to have biggg breakfasts with things like yoghurt, eggs and beans, just starting strong with complex carbs, and incorporating fats in and protein from diverse sources, and that sets me up well for the whole day.
just do some sport and the sugar will drop. Period.
Even if the glucose goddess makes recommendations based in body science, she clearly is missing the social science factor. We don’t eat the broccoli first, the chicken second, the oil on its own, and then the sad rice. That to me is total nonsense. The best recommendation is to have a balanced diet (as has always been said) and that is it. You can definitely include certain recommendations but I think some things are getting out of hand.
Thanks again for breaking through the forest of misinformation to give us sensible, doable advice.
