I have switched to brown rice, whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta and high fiber tortillas. My A1C and cholesterol are now both normal and my liver enzymes are now normal. When I do eat potatoes, I also eat the skin which contains a lot of fiber. It really is little changes that make a huge difference.
You don’t need fiber and the skins of the potatoes contain the most natural toxins. In addition, latest research suggests that brown rice is less healthy than white rice. Whole wheat bread? Sure. But if you’re T2 diabetic like me, ANY bread is bad. There is no such things as an “essential” carbohydrate.
The main problem with carbs in processed carbs, because they have insanely high caloric density. We process away all of the filler and vitamins in things like cookies and white bread, and leave pure unadulturated carbohydrates, that of course have a lot of calories, but don't fill us up nearly as much as unprocessed foods. The reason vegetables are fine, is not really because they have a ton of fiber (although that helps). A cup of brocolli has as much fiber as two slices of white bread, but a cup of brocolli is much harder to eat, it tastes worse, it is more filling because of all the roughage and water, and it has 1/5 the calories. Therefore we are less likely to overeat brocolli. It is also easy to overeat fats as well. The primary reason that fried food is associated with obesity, if because you are basically saturating meat with oil (unsaturated vegetable fat, not saturated fat) instead of water, which adds a lot of extra calories, it makes the meat taste better, but it does not make it more filling. Therefore fried food is easy to overeat too, and can also help make you fat. Just as with carbs though, you can opt for less processed versions of fat, like grilled meats, nuts, and eggs, which are much more filling, because they are bulkier since they contain a lot more in them than just fats, like protein and nutrients. This makes these unprocessed fats harder to over consume. People also tend to combine carbs with fats, which makes both taste much better, and make they way easier to overeat, while not becoming much more filling, think pastries, breading on fried food, potatoe chips, butter with potatoes, cheese with pasta, doughnuts, pie, and cheesecake. People tend to think of candy as very unhelathy, and it is, but people are much more likely to eat these "hyperpaletable" foods which combine large amounts of both carbs and fats. This is probably becuase nothing like these food occurs in nature, but our body is extremely happy to get both carbs and fats at the same time, and our body didn't evolve a good understanding for them. It is also important to note that some people digest food differently. If you have ever heard someone has a "fast metabolism" this may be becuase their gut bacteria are not as efficient at digesting food in their intestine, which means they dont acutally get (metabolise) all of the calories on the label, and can therefore eat more food, whichout getting fat.
In this documentary they recommend green and fiber carbohydrates, but they do not mention the antinutrients and toxins that these carbohydrates contain, nor the fact that they are sprayed with pesticides, nor the fact that fiber increases the volume of feces and can cause constipation, nor the fact that there are people who are intolerant to fiber. On the other hand, carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, rice and potatoes are not bad if consumed in moderation and within a balanced diet with cheeses, eggs and meats. They are also very useful for someone who practices sports such as cycling or weight lifting, since they provide energy and the rest of the glucose is stored in the form of glycogen for later use. En este documental recomiendan los carbohidratos verdes y con fibra, pero no mencionan los antinutrientes y toxinas que contienen estos carbohidratos, ni tampoco el hecho de que son rociados con pesticidas, ni tampoco el hecho de que la fibra aumenta el volumen de las heces pudiendo provocar estreñimiento, ni tampoco el hecho de que hay personas que son intolerantes a la fibra. Por otro lado, los carbohidratos como el pan , la pasta, el arroz y las papas no son malos si se los consume con moderación y dentro de una dieta balanceada con quesos, huevos y carnes. Ademas son muy útiles para alguien que practica deportes como el ciclismo o levantamiento de pesas, ya que aportan energía y el resto de la glucosa se almacena en forma de glucógeno para su uso posterior.
This has been well known and practised for decades among Swedish diabetes specialists. And for hundreds of years, avoiding starchy food, has been a diabetes treatment long before modern medicine invented insulin jabs.
Rice should be basmati rice or brown rice and should be washed before cooking until the water becomes clear, to remove starch from rice, rice like pasta should especially not be overcooked otherwise from complex carbs they become simple carbs
It really bugs the crap out of me when people find out that their favorite food X is high in carbs or sugar, and they moan defeatedly, "Oh no, I can never eat X again!" Of course you can. Stop being so dramatic. Just because it's not the best thing for you doesn't mean that you need to cut it out of your diet entirely. A good healthy diet utilizes the same principle as anything else in life: moderation. We all need a little treat now and then. If you like chocolate, cookies, or potato chips, you can still enjoy them ... just don't eat the whole damn bag at once! Many people seem to think that, when it comes to foods they enjoy, there are only two choices: 1) gorge yourself on it, or 2) avoid it entirely, which is completely ridiculous. There CAN be a middle ground, you know. This is not rocket science, people. 🙄
I'm fighting tooth and nail trying to get my husband to join me on this diet. He's being fiercely resistant, and when I replace his favorite carbs with alternatives, he gripes that it "doesn't taste very good" and while he does eat it, later he eats several peanut butter sandwiches. I've gotten him to switch to diet sodas, he was a heavy pepsi drinker, but he STILL insists on white breads instead of whole grain. It's tough, because he's pre-diabetic.
24:17 well, it will not work for you if you do your physical activity to reduce the amount of fat in your body. After you tasted sweet in your mouth, your body will start secretion of insulin that will stop the fat burning process. You will feel hungrier after and, being sure that you’ve burned plenty of calories (in the form of glycogen stored in your liver and muscles, not fat) you will most definitely overeat and these extra calories will eventually be stored in your fat cells. … and yes, physiology is not physics so the simple formula ‘calories in/calories out’ does not work without taking into account hormones that run energy management in your body.
Too bad the documentary did not address weather one needs carbohydrates in their diet at all. And following up on that answer if working towards a close to zero carb diet is generally a good thing…
There’s no such thing as an “essential carbohydrate”. In other words, there is NO a NEED to eat ANY carbohydrates. This idea that “white and beige” carbs are worse for you is bullshit. They’re ALL bad for you. Especially not you have any insulin resistance or pre-diabetic markers. A diet of beef, butter, bacon and whole eggs cured me of Metabolic disease in a few short months. Actually all my pain was gone in a week. Yes. Most people can eat some carbs and be fine. But remember, they’re NOT essential!
30:53 "an apple will make fuller for longer" 😂 never worked for me. What about a piece of cheese (without bread)?

wow. all of themm very bad ideas. reasearch please, what you do is stupidity.

Best video on you tube by far . I’m sure all the American drug companies hate this . Pills for everyone. Zero education

There's no benerfit to fiber, but it does cause damage to the gut.

The United States has zero concert of this . The average person thinks McDonald’s is heal food and a 72 ounce coke is great for your body

RIGHT?!?! Well said 👍
I love getting new info like this, like how the movie "super size me" was.

All i wanted to do was adjust the carbs on my motorcycle, and i lost 50 lbs. HELLO
Excellent documentary!

I am wondering what blood glucose monitor was used?
Got it sweet carbs bad bitter carbs you must enjoy. Bitter carbs swallow sweet carbs spit out.
Nice!
Not a single word about protein and fat. Weird
I can eat anything I want as much as I want and never gain an ounce. Even before bed.
So u have a carb addiction. How many carbs does one need, not 1 gram ever. Same goess for fiber. FACT

Yes. Most people can eat some carbs and be fine. But remember, they’re NOT essential!
good video. I just switched to plant based food and I feel healthier than ever.
Host dude isn't wearing a wedding ring....marry me please
