What sources did you use for this video? I believe you, I'm just making a speech for class about a similar topic and I need to find resources that aren't just "some guy's youtube video" lol.
What about patients.... That have symptoms that dont allow them to be productive... As in my case I'm suffering from fibromyalgia and ts from a very long time sir.... I want to I'm motivated I'm driven but i can't even get up some times.... Sometimes doing smallest of the work feels overwhelming... I'm sorry sir but can u plzzz help me with this... I have been watching all of ur , stuff out there... I really wanna live normally and do things to the fullest
Very well explained
Thatâs so cool, glad to be able to share something new for you :)
Dr eric berg was saying this for 7 years

@@CajunKoiAcademy As a doctor you must be aware of the problems sugar can cause with or without other foods included in diet, maybe even half of your patients in the hospital are there because of it. Yet you only mention it in the context of caffeine and when it's eaten by itself in the morning. Even if its a stretch to assume all the viewers could not take the advice into account, why did you just brush over it like its insignificant that people are eating any sugar at all?
@@DavidsonLoops yo can i ask since ur a doctor if eating a lot of fruit spikes ur glucose levels and if its bad as it contains a lot of sugar
Glucose
1.avoid plain carbs
So combine it with something
Ex rice w veggies
2.Avoid plain sugar
Aka Combine w something else
3.no carbs +caffeine
Avoid plain carbs in the morning
Eating late at night
Observe what works for you and your body
See what works for you
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful day/night, may the LORD bless you all, and farewell!,.,,,,,,
I would also include the important factor of movement/exercise. I did self test, and it made a world of difference for my glucose levels and overall energy when I did just 20 min of aerobic exercise after a meal. Just a bike ride or a faster pace walk prevents these big insulin spikes because your stimulated muscles demand the glucose right away.
I get moving(20min) right after my lunch and dinner and again about 2h later. Gives me about 4 h more to do productive work and also I just feel much better.
Keep track of when you feel great and when you have low energy. 95% are activity, food, sleep. People somehow still underestimate these basic things and focusing on fixing symptoms.

Adderall in the morning. Booze at night. Live fast, die young and leave a crusty corpse. Oh...and NEVER exercise.
I love that itâs scientific rather than âitâs all about the hustle and motivationâ
This is so true I noticed when I keep my meals light and healthy I am more focused and productive!
Makes so much sense...plus less energy used on digestion and more energy can be focused on tasks requiring lots of concentration.
Yes it is true about the gut. I noticed that about myself like last year and it happened again.
Now that I keep coming across info about guy health its time I get real about fixing my gut.
(while sipping coffee with Coffee Mate Unleashed colombian creamer in it at almost 8:00 at night)
Me too
I've always thought that light = low calorie, but that obviously isn't the case because eating low calorie foods makes everyone tired from not having enough energy.
Yeah đ„đŻđŻ
Dude! Such an amazing video. Helped explain brain fog so much.
WOW canât believe THE Clark kegley, love your content! đ
@@CajunKoiAcademy Ohhhh yeah bro! Even ordered the monitor right after this đ
I'm a dietetics student. I can't confirm everything in this video but the part about naked carbs is very true. it is so important to pair carbs with fats/protein/fiber to limit the blood sugar extremes. This is actually the same advice we give to people with diabetes and pre-diabetes
Is eating 3-5 eggs in the morning a good way to go? I mean, there are proteins,/fats in it.
And for dinner, just salad with chicken helps me a lot to study over the day, is it good?
@@kakoto696 I cant really provide advice but if it works for you, thats pretty good. For some people 3-5 eggs is a lot, plus its not a very balanced meal. You could have for example 2 eggs, toast, avocado and fruit and that would be a really balanced meal. You want carbs, protein and fat at all meals ideally. I wouldnt stress to much about it though, if you find something that makes you feel good, thats most important.
@@rachl8400 Thanks a lot for your answer. Then i go for "trying to get from all a bit, in every meal" :-)
@@kakoto696 Your egg intake might need variation. I have a very physically demanding job so I consume quite a lot. My breakfast is carbs, fibers and fat (porridge, 75% whole milk and 25% water, a lot of butter and something sweet on top so basically it's a fat soup). My first lunch is mostly protein (4 L eggs, meaty and spicy sausages) and carbs (yogurt, chocolate, apple, banana among the main choices). Second and third lunch are balanced. In the evening whatever goes, goes. By that time I'm so dead anyway so I'm often in survival mode with decent moderation though. This is my workday diet. Beverage? Water, water and more water throughout the day based on thirst levels of course. Supplements were omitted from my comment but I do take them more than dietary recommendation based on doctor's and personal feedback and knowledge.
As a type one diabetic, almost everything he said reigns true
I have diabetes type 1 and my glucose levels are crazy, even though I work hard to balance it. I've always felt like I had less energy then most people and this video explains exactly why. My parents always judged me for "sleeping too much" and treated me like a lazy person cause I couldn't stay up and study or work sometimes in the afternoon. This pressure made me depressed and no doctor could explain the reason why I felt so sleepy or unenergized. If I had watched this video 20 years from now I feel like my life would have been so much better. Thank you for this content and for teaching people what nutrition and the variation to glucose levels do to your metabolism and energy levels during the day. It's not an obvious thing and as you said, each body has its own individual way of reacting to sugar, caffeine, stress, etc. Hope you can spread the word specially to people with diabetes that have glucose level variations much bigger than most people. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing your story, will do my best to help in both my career and online
try keto
I also have diabetes and have went through the exact same thing. The best thing I started doing is working out. I take 1/4th of the insulin I used to. I still have lots of problems because insulin is so unpredictable, but thanks for sharing your story because I feel scared everyday tbh.
as a type one diabetic i relate to this the days that my blood sugars are in level i perform better and get more studying done as compared to when my blood sugars are high or spiky :/
oh my, im really sorry about that, it's so terrible. my brother has diabetes type 1 and whenever his glucoses levels are too high i get really worried and my parents aswell because he's near to the point of fainting like that's no joke, it's sad that 20 years ago there was misinformation on that :(
Mike: "don't combine carbs with caffeine"
Italians that only have coffee and something sweet for breakfast everyday: đđđ
Omg YES Brazilians too!
I tried this diet traveling abroad in Italy and I felt so trashed so early hahaha.

I realized exactly this when I was a senior in highschool. Since I grew up in asia I had to study a shit ton to try to get into a good college and I realized the only way I could stay focused for a long time was to control what I eat.
I literally stopped eating simple carb (replaced with complex carb) stopped eating sugar (at all!) stopped eating at night and cut down on caffeine.
Funny thing is after senior year in highschool my body looked real good as well as my skin cuz I was not eating crappy food also I got into my dream college âșïž
What kind of carbs did u eat? Like brown rice and stuff?
^^
Now It's official that youtube reads minds. I have never watched any videos on this channel and not that many videos related to energy level and stuff, (although I watch productivity and studying tips) but since this morning I was too tired and tried to look for something that will give me more energy and I came to youtube to figure out a solution and this video is right on top of my suggestions list! Thanks for the video.
Loved this video, it's exactly what I've been telling my family and patients, of course with some variation as we are all wired differently. Just wanted to say your approach to explaining this was AWESOME !
You are a legend, thanks a lot for taking the time to share this.
Another excellent video. I am almost 60 and none of this type of technology was available even 10 years ago. I learned how to control energy levels through trial and error but it is nice to see Mike and Matty actually showing us the science. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you! A good modern take on info that has mostly been important to Pre- Diabetics and body builders but really impacts us all.
This really makes me understand why certain foods can make me feel more full than others and how this translates to my productivity, great video! â€
The "carbs and coffee" concept explained a lot of the "grayouts" I've had in the last decade. A very helpful and informative post. Many thanks!
these videos are such high quality i canât believe you guys donât have 1 million subscribers, keep it up!
They will get there, it takes time.
69k is nice
thanks! i watched it only because of your comment, was totally worth it
I just want to say I am astonished how you balance your career, youtube and being a tech entrepreneur with Remnote. I really want to see a vlog video how you balance everyhing out. this is so cool and inspiring! thanks for all your help.
The quality of this video is incredible. Love the work you guys do, subbed for more great content!
This was really informative! Thank youâșïž I would've love to see a quick full day of eating part in this video but you gave some great food tips!
I knew a little bit about most of this but you just really filled in the gaps and made my understanding a lot clearer! I can be nutritious in peace now! Favoriting and saving this vid for future for sure too.
Thank you guys for all the effort and energy you put into making these informative videos.. Your hard work doesnât go unnoticed đž
Honestly one of the highest quality videos I've seen in ages. Great useful information thank you

Thank you for the video. I really liked that you didn't add in any clickbait or drag out the video to maximize view time (like many youtubers do today). Straight to the point and showed good info. Excellent :)
What a fantastic video, I love your clear and slow speaking style. Well presented, 10/10!
this channel is like a gift to me... I've been afraid i was developing diabetes and now i see i could help myself a lot addressing my horrible eating habits
Check out Dr. Berg. Low carb, high fibre and intermittent fasting is the key to many health related issues, from diabetes to cancer
As a diabetic typ 1 person this is so full of new information about what is happening! Thanks!
Thank you so so much for the video! This is the most complete information that has explained my states of drowsiness and hypoglycemia well to me. I wish you success and prosperity!
I tried wearing a monitor for a month after seeing this video. It was really interesting because all of my lack of focus and laziness was from my blood sugar levels. I've never had so much energy by maintaining it properly. Even after seeing this video I was shocked with seeing how drastically I needed to change my diet. I thought I was eating healthy and was fine but I was way off.
Are u eating healthier now? Have your energy levels changed?đ
I think that's the first time someone actually explains causes for fatigue and loss of focus without basing it on just motivation and discipline. Also, I'm wondering, what effect do the "healthy" sweets (with natural sweetners like erithritol) have on the body and brain when studying?
I'm not a doctor, but I am currently following biology classes at uni. Basically, artificial sweetners are "empty calories" and aren't carbohydrates (glucose) like actual sugar. So the body can't transform artificial sweetners into energy. So generally artificial sweetners don't elevate bloodsugar like actual sugar. BUT, the digestive system starts in the mouth and the body has a sort of "pre-reaction" to the taste and smell of sweet foods. So just the sweet taste can have an effect on blood sugar (although not as much as actual sugar). AND consuming sweetners for a long time can cause microbial changes that can lead to higher blood sugar levels. So short term, it won't be bad for you and its why many people with diabetes often choose artificial sweetners when they do want a cookie etc. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong please!
A video I have been looking for a couple of days. Realised how many mistakes I have been doing till now. Thanks for the help man. It was REALLY REALLY HELPFUL.
Glad you found us !

About the chess player and he burning so many calories... it reminds me of when I was a child, of 9 or 10, I used to play lots of chess, and train to compete in the local spelling bee. I ate a lot but I was still very lean, borderline underweight, and other kids said that it was due to my "mental sports", and they were right haha.
Lol
Now i want to be smart
I play i play video games competitively all kinds from strategy to shooter fps, I wonder if playing video games when your focusing as much as you would in chess burn calories in cod in 12 v 12 games, I can kill 80 people and die only 20 times. I wonder if this also applies even to puzzle games where your intensely focused. Or my job where I work on excel spreadsheets 6 hours a day and program websites the rest. I'm not fat but not muscular either. I also often walk 1 hour a day. With my dog. Wonder if I'm burning 6000 a day from using my cognitive abilities.
I also used to be on the chess team back in high school
My nutrition knowledge just increased ten-folds. Great vid!
Haha so glad you got something out of it :)
thank you so much!! THIS is what is going to motivate me taking more care of my eating habits.
This is excellent. Thank you for making this!

Iâd already begun to shift my coffee drinking to no earlier than 2 hours after I wake, but I didnât consider the effects of eating a KIND bar while drinking that first cup. Thanks for some great advice, Mike and Marty!
Oh yea def experiment with that itâs one of those stealth health snacks
Fantastic as always! I really like your spotify playlist, it really helps with my studies!
Glad you like it, we use it to study all the time

Guy: I wear this needle on my arm.
Me: Nope

This is FASCINATING and so cool that you included literal glucose
monitoring. As someone who intermittent fasts, I would love an update
(or even just an addendum) talking about the difference in relation to
fatigue when the body is in ketosis and the brain is processing ketone
bodies for energy.
Does intermittent fasting cause ketosis? From what I understand, proper keto diet (very low carbs) causes it. Intermittent fasting causes your body to use up glucagon or something like that, basically a 24h emergency glucose storage.
Thank you for sharing invaluable information! I was wondering about this.
i cant believe im bumped into your channel. your content is mindblowing thanks for changing my life for the better đ€
Slapper of a video guys. Never knew about the coffee with carb combo, deady
Donât be fooled my friend
Im a T1D and its interesting to see you spike so high. I wish my body corrected for it haha. I usually have a sharper trendline, where i go up and then immediately drop before bottoming out into a straight line if that makes sense. If I over compensate i do go low but then the cycle itself repeats if I eat too much to correct for the low which results in endless food coma
Iâve gotta say, this is one of the most informative videos Iâve ever watched
Loved this! New level for me! Thank you!!
Iâm always tired. And I always knew my diet had to do with it so Iâm definitely looking for foods thatâll give me some boost. Thank you

Thank you for making this dude. Actually I experience my energy fluctuating throughout the day, and it makes sense being diabetic, and insulin resistant. I was thinking of trying out a blood sugar monitor, so I can observe my blood sugar throughout the day. The only challenges is my energy fluctuating, not having lots of energy, and struggling to lose weight. Even though I went vegan, and exercise.

@@TB1M1 the body can get all the sugar it needs from fruit, no need to add in table sugar. like instead of a piece of cake, why not a pound of blueberries? both have sugar, but one also has anti-oxidants and fiber.
@@rinkuheroI don't disagree
The brain really uses a lot of powa!
I remember studying for an exam at uni. The first studying day I went all in.
Usually, my meals were consistent calorie wise, but that day I ate like a madman!
Also, amazing video! â€
The beginning story is truly well made, related to everythingđ
Awesome video bro
I am trying to tackle that problem from many days and I thought that my energy levels are going down because I am not doing exercise.
But now I know that I need some good food to charge me up
Thank you for this video! It helped me a lot to understand more how my body works :).
That video is AMAZING. THANKS A LOT.
I'm a medical student and currently in the study leave for my finals. Recently, I am trying intermittent fasting to avoid insulinemic spikes and hyperinsulinemia to avoid insulin resistance, improve my metabolism and focusing while studying, so I totally relate to the video.
Hopefully, I will try to go on low carb diet for a better improvement.
Aha thatâs awesome to hear. Clinical rotations can get hectic so donât forget to eat, Good luck!
Ok it makes since that whenever I do an intermittent fasting or a diet low in carb I feel clarity in my mind

Appreciate the kind words đđœ
I've always said that my brain intensive office job was significantly more difficult than any retail job where I'm on my feet all day, or physical job (not gonna touch manual labor cause I've never done it and that's a whole nother thing.) Not to say physical jobs aren't hard, but the mentally taxing jobs have always worn me out far more.
This woke me up! Thank you so much!
Thank you, this really makes sense and is easy to understand!
Curious to know what you think of using ketones as fuel for you brain rather than glucose? For me, my energy levels are consistent during ketosis. I find that energy depletes when im lacking in electrolytes. I suppose the culprit of fatigue/low energy is always different for other people and there are many ways to treat it depending on your lifestyle :)
Hooray! Thanks for uploading this video on nutrition! ^^ You clearly have talent in condensing information. One of my rules of thumb is not to eat anything three hours before I am heading to bed. Works wonders physiologically. Hope you are doing well. :)
