This is both awesome and and funny to me. My main dinner dish is red bell peppers, avocado, cucumber, broccoli and beets. Sometimes with tomatoes if I don’t forget. I sprinkle this with balsamic vinegar and I’m good. The funny thing is I only think of the fruits I eat are the apples I eat through out the day as snack but in reality a lot of my evening meals are fruit based two. My morning meal is usually beans or lentils with tofu and some nutritional yeast. Keep the information coming. All this plus your supplement I take daily and sometimes twice a day have all been approved by my primary care and internist doctor and by the nutritionist I have to see twice a year per VA. I’m officially 193 down from 5 1/2 years ago 410 and when I started listening to your content I was stuck at 235 to 240. Thank you Doctor, keep the information coming
I had my birthday right after Thanksgiving and strayed from my largely whole food plant based diet. No surprise the scale is up 3-4 lbs 😑 Ready to get back into it!
Oh I thought fruit smoothies would be healthy to eat daily. It’s part of my morning routine, along with vegan protein powder, and some adaptogens. May have to make it a fruit salad instead. My favorite snack happens to be apple with peanut butter, or dried dates with peanut butter. It’s especially good with a warm cup of moringa tea.
I have an Orgain vegan shake every morning and I'm great all day...until I have dinner around 3 pm. To it I add a banana, a handful of spinach, and about a cup of frozen blueberries with strawberries and tart cherries. I have 70 of 116 pounds I have lost on my diet. I love apples with peanut butter too but now for dessert I slice my apples and sprinkle PB2 on them. I get the apples and the taste without the fat and sugar from peanut butter
I truly look up to your knowledge❤. I wish my husband can watch with me. I m a true believer of eating food at its original time. 99% of my food are fish and viggies. I don’t feel boring at all tho I eat the same thing daily😂. I m very healthy at a perfect frame. Hooray🎉 yeah Japanese diet rocks❤❤
My challenge is how to keep fresh fruits, vegetables. They are sometimes more expensive than canned or frozen items. Love your v8deos they are motivational in addition to informational.
Amen! 🙏 Dr. Liu your timing is perfect. This is the season that people turn to food for entertainment and comfort. The season of Thanksgiving thru New Years has destroyed many waistlines. The weather is miserable and the holidays seemed to be designed for one purpose - self engorgement. We spend a lot of time thinking about taste instead of nutrition. I think Dr. Kempner was on the right path with his Rice Diet but he should have used a whole grain like Steel Cut Oats instead of white rice.
Excellent video, Doc. Love your communication style. You’ve re-affirmed for me all that I learned in the book, “Mastering Diabetes” by Cyrus and Robbie. PLEASE keep these videos coming! I believe you are improving more lives than you know 🙏🏻
Thank you Doc for this video! I have lost some weight and need to lose a little more but I have plateaued and I keep losing and gaining the same two to three pounds 🙃! Please help me stop plateauing! Thank you & God Bless you! Chrissy 🌝
Our food is so complicated now. Fresh food is no longer available. Pesticides and preservatives are King in the food world and vitamins and supplements are the Queen.
Thank you Dr. LIU for the content. Can you provide me the Tools please. Currently Pre Diabetes and am trying to trying to eat 1banana and 2apples a day to start a new habit. My problem is I eat (nosh) on crap when bored or have my mind empty. Should I eat Rice all the time
Saturated fat is a problem and she explained why. A person can have perfect Hgb A1c levels but the cardiovascular system suffers and can be damaged beyond repair. Saturated fat damages cell mitochondria.
@cristywyndham-shaw5111 that is an unmitigated falsity though. There is zero evidence of that. There is, however, ample evidence of fructose causing AMPK resistance, decreased expression of ACADL and inhibition of CPT1 via the production of malonyl-CoA. Fructose is a mitochondrial toxin. Saturated fats *are not*.
I love listening to you but you talk too fast and too much information at once. Give examples. We don’t study or know food…very mix information…hard to comprehend.
"Our ancestors" lived on bananas & fruit, year round? Wrong. They survived on fat & sometimes meat & acorns, hickory nuts & roots in winter. Akaskan & Michigan natives never saw a tropical fruit. Some misinformation is here, but i know you mean well.
Yeah many native tribes in the US collected fruit like berries during the fall, spring and summer and stored them for rhe winter months. Alaskan natives honestly never had or saw fruit depending on where they lived. If they lived on those islands that's in the middle of the Artic they harvested seaweed and no fruit. I think some berries grew or lasted in the winter which many tribes ate and utilized in their diets. They definitely didn't see tropical fruit until the Americans brought them over. Almost every native tribes in north America ate berries expect for the ones who lived on the arctic islands. Even in Alaska where fruit is harder to grow, they ate berries when they were growing during the growing seasons. But other fruit like say the Paw paw fruit was not common in places like Alaska. That was more for the mainland.
Perfect way to start my Sunday mornings, a healthy breakfast before football games. 🍉🥝🫐 Also, Doc. try to give us a chance to hold on to something before you mention being in pajamas. Love all your videos thanks so much!

So thankful that you come out every week to remind us to get back on the wagon. So easy to get sidetracked back to bad habits.
Frozen fruit is not appreciated enough. Ice crystals make it mushy when thawed out but it is still good!

Great tips! Easy prep makes it so much easier to stay on track after the holidays. Definitely going to try these! 💪🍏

Interesting video~
Dr. Liu please explain how to fill the the handout. What is Sign in google,
indicates required question? Thank you
Berries are best
Fat and protein do not Spike insulin
Where you getting this?
Fruit does have high fiber high water
Do you know if there are certain berries or fruits that should not be eaten together?
Any recommendations for vitiligo resulting from stopping steroids for exzema?
Since saturated fat is the Boogeyman, what are your favorite lentil and tofu recipes?
Saturated fat is not a problem. I eat 4 eggs a day and loads of avocado and olive oil and I eat apples and my hba1c is 4.9 and my ALT is 16.
Saturated fat is a problem and she explained why. A person can have perfect Hgb A1c levels but the cardiovascular system suffers and can be damaged beyond repair. Saturated fat damages cell mitochondria.
@cristywyndham-shaw5111 but that is an absolute unmitigated falsity. There is absolutely no evidence for that at all

Fructose is a mitochondrial toxin. Saturated fats *are not*.
