- These 7 superfoods are blood sugar friendly and loaded with healthy nutrions. I believe that these foods could contribute to every diabetic's helathy diet and keep blood glucose low. Healthy sustainable diabetes diet is the key to increased insulin sensitivity and more predictable blood sugars in the long term no matter if you are prediabetic, type 2 diabetic, or type 1 diabetic.

Shrimps, octopus, crabs, these are not food. The bible specifies what should be eaten and what should not, anything that should not be eaten, can't be classified as food
@@devonsimpson9726 Believe what you wish, but getting your medical advice from a book that is not only thousands of years old and has been repeatedly revised (changed meaning), with no polite way to say, it is ridiculous. The bible is no more real than a Harry Potter book. Belief of something does not make it fact.
I've been working of making healthier changes in what I eat and have lost a little weight. The information you shared has been helpful and I look forward to listening and learning more of your shows. Thank you.

My 25yr old autistic son was just hospitalized with a major spike, BS was 460! We always suspected he might be pre diabetic, but tried to keep him on a diet similar to what you are talking about since he was diagnose with autism (5yrs old). I'm glad that i found your channel and appreciate the information that you have given me. Please keep making great content, there are those of us that really need help and clarity on the subject.
The biggest thanks to you,

Eggs are the number 1 food overall...
It has many benefits, also it carries the 9 complex aminos.
Purely by accident I discovered that, for whatever dietary reason, adding a few table spoons of apple cider vinegar to my daily diet significantly dropped my glucose levels by at least 25%. Simply add some vinegar to a salad or some else, and my glucose levels improve significantly. I can't explain dietary science as to why it works, but it has been the most effective and simple change to my diet for improving my glucose level.
I recommend anybody struggling with blood sugar try it. I had a friend try to tell me how magical it is for everything, and I was very skeptical. I tried it and within an hour my reading had dropped 20 plus points in a fasting state. I have begun taking 2-3 tablespoons before every meal, and it has steadily improved. Just make sure to dilute it in water or drink water immediately after to protect your teeth. This may not work for everybody, but give it a shot.
@@kenhill3230 Ken, what is the issue with the Teeth?
@@nrnoble Soda pop is a double whammy on your teeth - the acid and the sugar will damage your teeth - ruin enamel and cause cavities. Sitting around eating lemons and limes will cause tooth damage due to the high acid content - ruins enamel. Vinegar damages enamel. Take it with water and/or food - dilutes the acid.
@@nrnoble It can damage the enamel on your teeth over time if not washed off. Anything acidic can do this such as lemons. It is just a good idea to just wash it off or dilute it. I drink it straight and just chase it with water.
❤❤❤❤❤
You can make hard boiled eggs in air fryer - its a game changer - 250 degrees for about 11 minutes come out perfect!!!!!
Asparagus really helps me drop my sugar I eat it 3- 4 times a week
As soon as I was diagnosed with type two diabetes I started eating eggs pretty much every day for breakfast. My doctor told me in 30 years of working with diabetics he’s never seen anyone go off medication that fast!
I have egg on toast every morning.
How do you cook em ?
Will egg white do the same work??
That is wonderful, sadly I cannot eat eggs as I have an allergy to them.
i-Prime Productions,
Eggs and what else did you eat? Thank you.
Just a theory....because although Type 1 for 34 years now, I still don't consider myself an expert.....but I tell myself what we think a normal portion size is for many foods is way too much. Example. I could sprinkle a couple of TBSP of black beans or chickpeas over a salad and still benefit from their nutrients. Who needs a cup or half cup of any carby food? I do same thing with oranges. I cut into 8 wedges and put two on my breakfast plate....it looks more like a garnish than a serving, but I get what I need from that tiny portion. That orange lasts me 4 days in a ziploc bag. :-) I sometimes swap that out for 1/2 slice of toast. Bread? Yikes! Yes, sometimes I need to satisfy that craving but I can do it with less. I don't need one or two whole slices. Two cherries? Six berries? Four cherry tomatoes? Three small squares of dark chocolate? Those tiny chocolate bars from ALDI give me four servings. This approach helps me keep variety in my diet and not feel like I have to omit or deny myself anything. Many diabetics preach about the law of small numbers. I cling to my theory on the law of small portions.
Type 1 for 46 years here ( since 6 years old),,, things have certainly gotten easier to manage, but it is ALWAYS a daily challenge,,,I couldn’t agree more about portions, less is more, and CGM absolutely helps with those decisions,,,hang in there!☘️☘️☘️
Excellent advice. I would add exercise. I went from a job where I was on my feet all day to a sedentary one. Wow! It really affected my glucose levels!
I loved your coment it makes a lot of sence my problem is everytime i eat like this i lost a seriouse amount of weight, and im realy light already i cant aford to lose any more weight..... how can you have a normal weight with so few carbs?
I believe u absolutely right. The issue is the portion. If we watch Asian East is literally 1/3 to 1/4 of the size meal we eat on the west. That advice is great for everyone not just diabetics.
@@IaneHowe very true!
The Lord is my hiding place and my shield; my hope is in His word. 🙏 🙏
This video is very helpful. When I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic they sent me to a diabetes class that focused on techno babble instead of what to eat and what not to eat. I found this very informative and helpful.
00:28 🦐 Shrimp, despite being low in calories and fat, is nutrient-dense, offering Omega-3s, vitamins D and B12; it's easy to cook and widely available.
02:33 🖤 Black beans, despite their carb content, have a low glycemic index (GI), slow blood sugar spikes, and can mitigate spikes when combined with high GI foods.
04:09 🍇 Raspberries and blackberries are diabetes-friendly fruits with high fiber, low net carbs, and low GI, providing vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.
05:20 🥬 Spinach, rich in vitamins and minerals, is highly nutritious, low in calories, carbs, and has a low GI, beneficial for diabetes and versatile in meals.
06:42 🌱 Peruvian maca root, claimed to boost energy and aid memory, though not scientifically proven, has anecdotal evidence for potential health benefits.
08:08 🥑 Avocado, while calorie-rich, is a good source of healthy fats, low in net carbs and GI, making it suitable for diabetics when eaten in moderation.
09:59 🌿 Chia seeds, high in fiber, help manage blood sugar spikes when added to meals; soaking or grinding them enhances nutrient absorption for diabetics.
Avocado God's gift to mankind
Wow
Absolutely.
Amen 🙌🏾
Absolutely
Love that you admit that you were wrong about eggs!
Being able to admit your own mistakes is a sign of a great mind!
The ketogenic diet and low carb in general is the reason why i now have a Hba1c of 6.0 as a type 1 diabetic. Eggs and beef are the main ingredients of my diet.
Keep in mind that every reputable longevity expert like Valter Longo, for example is very much against long-term consumption of high amounts of animal protein and saturated fat.
@@JustMe-999a The lower hb1ac and BG levels in general the better, especially for T1Ds. Most of the studies criticizing the consumption of high amounts of animals products are epdimiological and therefore highly doubtable. Even if there would possibly be a danger of arteriosclerios, the benefit of having "normal" bg-levels over many years and having good insulin sensitivity far outweighs this questionable risk imho.
The demonization of meat has happened with the obesity epidemic simultaneously. I can just urge everyone with autoimmune issues to try a high fat, high or moderate protein and zero/low carb approach.

@ladyleaner DKA is the state where insulin resistance is so high, that your cells wont react to the insulin secreated by the pancreas or injection. Your cells are basically starving of energy, whereas your bloodsugar was increasing. The ketogenic diet if done correctly, decreases insulin resistance and works the other way round. This is because of the big reduction in total insulin usage. In my case the meatbased ketogenic diet improved my T1D significantly. I now need about half the insulin i used before, when i was mostly eating low carb.
You should try to eat mostly whole foods, meat, eggs, avocados, walnuts and try to stay away from artifical "keto"-products. Dont be afraid of cholesterol. Watch your electrolytes. I would recommened the youtube channels of Thomas Delauer, Dr. Rob Cywes or Dr. Ken Berry. The Physicians have great experience working with Diabetics and propose the natural progression from Dr. Bernsteins Methods imho.
Ill take eggs over avocado anyway.
Some of these things is first time I here these names. I am watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲.
Hello I have been a type 1 diabetic for 38 years and I can tell you that I eat eggs almost every day a minimum of 4 eggs a day
Never had cholesterol problems
Never had any spikes after eating eggs not even a rise in blood sugar
To me its my number 1 super food
Try Spanish needle it works wonders
Same here with the eggs...type 1 for 44 years(diagnosed at age 4)
I take 4 eggs almost every day. I’m 62. No issues with high cholesterol. And both parents had very high cholesterol. My mom had such bad fats that the triglycerides literally separated visibly in blood draws. They had to dilute it a couple of times to even get a reading.
I recently found your channel. It is extremely informative. I absolutely love it. I’ve learned so much from you and your audience. Thank you so much.
Currently, I am on an intermittent diet 16/8. I eat from 11 AM to 7 PM. Yes, I eat an egg omelette each day with lots of veggies (Spanish).❤
Thank you for the work you do, very much appreciated.
Quite informative. Thanks
I found this video informative. But what impressed me the most was him admitting his mistake and apologising for it. He earned my respect for that.
Just found this channel love it. I've been on a journey to increase my insulin resistance and it has been going well. I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 11
Great channel and helpful tips! I appreciate your honesty and acknowledging that you are giving advice as someone that lives with diabetes and not a health care provider, it actually makes me trust you more.
i am glad that Eggs are cleared :) they are lifeline and joy !
A fabulous knowledge for everyone. Thanks.
Very impressive presentation 👏. Thanks
Eggs and Avocado are great !!
I have them in my breakfast with 3 eggs omelette (2 eggs whites and 1 egg whole) with sprinkle of flaxseeds, pumpkin seed and half avocado.
Excellent video.
Thank you .
Great video. I'm in my 50th year as T1 diabetic. Understanding what we should eat and avoid is THE most important advice ANY diabetic (and other human) needs. Thank you for your thoughtful advice.
I believe in eggs. Keeps me from eating out of control to start the day. 7 items listed are a great reminder as we are to be saving our organs as diabetics. Thanks!
I tried for years to increase my HDLs to no avail. Then I was caring at home for my aunt with severe dementia. This made it nearly impossible to go to the grocery store. But, we had chickens that produced lots of eggs. You could feed her the same thing over and over, and she wouldn’t know the difference. So we ate lots and lots of eggs. When it was time for my yearly blood work, i dreaded the thought of my cholesterol panel. BUT, to my amazement, it was the first time ever for my HDLs to go up to a good level. I think it was because of all the eggs. Anyway, the eggs didn’t make any bad outcomes. So now i feel good a out eggs, and feel good about eating them.
That is because we have been lied to for years about cholesterol! It is the over abundance of sugar and simple carbs that cause small particle LDL and transfats to go ballistic.
dr eric berg youtube says we should eat about 4 eggs everyday, a true superfood
IM 75 VERY SOON---I HAVE BEEN EATING EGGS ALL MY LIFE. WHEN I WAS PG I ATE 6 EGGS EVERY DAY! I KNOW--WOMEN EAT PICKLES TOO LOL.
Same with me!
Love your videos! Thank you so much.
EXCELLENT video. Thank you again.
16:12 I use fresh Italian parsley, that comes in a bunch that chopped up is about 2 full cups, in dinner every night. I also use spinach but not as much, because it's more likely going to be used in a salad. The parsley is a very bright but not citrusy flavor and since it doesn't smell like cooked spinach my family is going eat it.
Great presentation. I use Macca powder and chia seeds daily.
Thank you for sharing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 awesome info
You're so enjoyable to watch!
Eggs are one of my Superfoods. We have our own chickens so they are organic. We eat a BLE diet which is no flour, no sugar. Lost 21 lbs in 3 1/2 months and I love the recipes. All of my meals include every one of these Superfoods.
I knew chia seeds would be #1 from the beginning of this video 😂😂
Thanks for all of the great tips!
I boiled my eggs, chopped them up put it in a salad with greens, tomatoes, 2 slices of beets and shrimp. Very satisfying!
Thanks so much for sharing. So very helpful. God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I couldn't get hold of any Peruvian Maca root powder to sprinkle into my breakfast bowl, so substituted it with Peruvian marching powder. I found it boosted my energy and performance enormously.😄
😂😂
Thanks for the tip!
Chia seeds are good but flax seeds are BOSS
thank you so much great info.
Fantastic
Thank you!!!
Number one for me... organic eggs or pasture-fed steak (or both). Number 2: wild salmon/prawns. Number 3: avocado Number 4: leafy greens/other low GI veg Number 4 coconut oil/100% chocolate/almond butter mix, chilled in fridge/raspberries on top (it gives me a keto choccy fix!)
L
Micro greens of kale or broccoli is much less strong tasting and even better in nutrients.We love this option. Even better than spinach but with the same taste is a wild green called lambs quarter if you haven't tried it then you are missing out.
diabetics affects all aspect of our lifes so is good we talk about it thanks
Thank you very helpful!
Here’s a good one…slice up some apples, bananas, blueberries set aside. Use steelhead oats, half cup. Quarter or half teaspoon of cinnamon. Teaspoon of peanut butter. Flax seeds 15 grams. Mix and enjoy
Good but soak the oats and only use 1/2-1/3 banana depending on it's size
Big bowl of sugar
What's steelhead oats???
Steelcut oats
great list and all of these items can also work on a KETO diet. I make CHIA seed pudding all the time. I love a good spinach quiche. I am going to have to look at black beans more, never thought of them.
You use pastry? Flour !
Very helpful.
good day thank you so much verygood advises for diabetics superfoods
wow this is the first video I watched for you and when I reached the part of eggs I respected you a lot! an immediate follow of course. as a dietitian I am glad you did the research and found that eggs are actually great for you. Saturated fat and processed food will increase your "bad cholesterol", but never never the eggs.
Oh dear, you have to try deviled eggs made with olive oil Mayo, fresh dill and fermented pickles.
So good and filling.
Kristy B,
I've deviled eggs for breakfast almost every day; I love it!
TQ.USEFUL INFORMATION.
Hello: You can take a video off YT and edit it and put it back online. I've had to do that process before.
I like your videos and all the information you share. I just got my diagnosis from Dr last week. I started my new eating program that day.
I've also been so sick this past week. My body was so use to eating sugar and carbs that its gone into withdrawals. Headache, body aches, weakness in my legs, sleepy all the time, but only sleeping a couple hours at a time, and my eyes hurt. I am on meds, vitamins, and I will get better... it may take a few more days, but I will get free of this disease! Thank u again for helping us out with good info. Blessings.
In reference to Item #6 (Beans): Beans are high in protein. So when you combine them with something like potatoes the glucose spike is slowed down because the body it working on breaking down the protein first and the carbs second. My Clinical Pharmacist explained this to me just yesterday. She said if I occasionally want to eat something that spikes my glucose to eat some protein along with it. It was interesting that you confirmed that to me this morning.
You need to do your home work.
It's carb (fastest to digest) protein for amino acid. And fat...slowest!
Eating carbs at the of a meal is technically am heresy!
Google it!
Food and informations are alike. Don't goble them without reading the lables!

Cooked spinach is far more healthy for tip than raw. Check the numbers 👍👍
Thank you for that tip about the black beans you're really giving me some good ideas
Thank you so much doctor
I eat raw spinach almost every day as I usually eat a salad every day and use spinach instead of lettuce. I always add chia seeds to my oatmeal but usually forget to add it to anything else. Berries are added to my frequently eaten yogurt.
Thanks Tom! I have chia seeds and spinach and berries in my rotation as well. I've recently added Ceylon cinnamon and Apple Cider Vinegar; I combine those with green tea and a little honey and drink at least two cups a day. It has done WONDERS for my insulin sensitivity (I'm type II and recently was able to get off meds). Over the thanksgiving holiday, I ate all kinds of cakes and pies and dressing and high carb foods while checking my sugar every hour to see how it would affect me....the highest reading I got was 135....and this was checking at an hour and two hours after eating.
Also, I love how you very tastefully and "elegantly" touched on the benefits you received with maca root powder; I've never heard of it but am going to order some today and see if it will help me "perk up" too LOL
Excellent...I've also read that Ceylon cinnamon/A.C.V. added to green tea helps lower blood sugar 👍 🍵

nice one thank for sharing
Dear Tom,
Thank you for this great video. Appreciate very much.
But what I miss here is MY super food which is OAT! And more surprising is that this even does not appear in any of the comments here below.
The greatest aspect of oats is, if you eat them 3times a day (e.g. just soaked in cold water and with berries like black berries or cranberries) and 3 to 4 days it has an impact on your blood sugar for a longer time period (5-6 weeks or longer). And besides that it a kind of super food for many other "deseases" like high blood pressure, gout or gastrointestinal issues. In Germany we call this ""Haferkur" and this can be done once a month.
3times a day seems to be quite hard especially at lunch or diner. In the morning you can take it as a breakfast. At lunch I first take a lot of vegetable curry and then as a dessert I take oats mixed up with cranberries and cold water. And diner is similar to lunch. So it is not that hard to keep up for 3 days. I tried this already twice the past two month and I am seeing great results already after short time. Apart from that you can also do it with intermittent fasting.
Would be interested of your opinion and curious whether you will give a try!
Regards, Janni
What type of oats do you use ?
@@janettedavis6627 just normal oatmeal pithy...cheapest version you get in the supermarket...nothing special...
High oxalate foods. Remember that protein spikes insulin too
thank you Tom
wow. fantastic information on the black beans and other beans. Thanks!
Thank you kind sir. I was always very thin until I got diagnosed with Celiac disease and started eating more GF processed food. And over Covid lockdown, I went on an ice cream diet. Not a healthy choice, but I am working on it now.
Soaking chia seeds was a surprise to me. I do eat yogurt with blueberries with chia seeds, but now I will soak them first. I've not seen many of your videos, so I will go look now. You and many commenters are very helpful and encouraging. I really need to lose weight and get healthy. I feel horrible.
Thanks again.
Soaking the chia seeds is key, and also grinding the flax seeds 😊

Easier to find in the US Southwest and Mexico/Central America... Nopales, a variety of cactus, grilled both because of the fiber, and the change of the chemistry in the sap (sort of like Aloe Vera) helps to lower Blood Sugar. We also use Jamaica, which are dried Hyacynth flowers, making a tea or cooling it down and drinking it chilled. It is a little bitter if you don't add sugar free sweeteners, but it is known to block the absorption of Carbs.
Thanks for the tip about Maca
Great show Dr
Unfortunately, Spinach is also very high in Oxalate, which means it also is a key contributor to developing kidney stones.
I believe it also inhibits calcium absorption.🙄
Especially if eaten uncooked
You can lock up the oxalates with lemon juice from real lemons, not a bottle.
Thank you for your superfood list. The only thing I don’t like is 10:24 cooked spinach but fortunately Ilike raw spinach and I am very happy using a little apple cider vinegar to give it some pep. I had never heard of Mac-a 10:24 root but I have it on my list to order if I cannot find it locally. I do like eggs and I have some in my fridge that I cook in the microwave or I also like hard boiled without any additives except maybe some pepper on occasion. I have found pepper adds flavor and I haven’t ever heard anything bad about it. Oh, I am Type 2 but your CZcams videos have helped me tremendously and since my A1C was 6.2 (I am in the USA) I would prefer it to be lower and since the holidays are over I am going to get back in control and add more vegetables to my diet. I also appreciate the reminder about the black beans. I need the fiber. Enough of my life history I just wanted to you to know how much you are appreciated.
Just buy Macha green tea bags most supermarkets sell Macha green tea. Just tear open the tea bag you got Macha Powder. Find the Green tea section in your supermarkets.
@@janettedavis6627 Actually matcha tea and maca powder are not the same thing.
Very interesting I will try to follow your suggestions 🙏 Thank you…
Good experience!keep it up!
I only eat eggs for breakfast on the weekend.. During the week, I use low carb protein powder with plant milk and instant coffee.. Eggs are my weekend breakfast treat.
@Anna Payne. Processed lab concoctions such as protein powder, plant milk and instant coffee be considered anything but unhealthy? Processed food is laboratory twisted, artificial, refined, contaminated, and impaired! It is definitely not better than daily doses of real eggs!
Make sure it doesn't have maltodextrin
Mine,too
Whey protein spikes blood sugars...
@user-sq9pi1pw2e Not all protein powders are whey-based. Mine is mostly from pea protein and is Berry flavoured. I think a mistake a lot of people make is to add too much sugar or fruit to the shakes they make. I sometimes add honey or maple syrup, but have noticed when I drastically tried to cut out refined sugars (on first being diagnosed) that just using berries with homemade almond milk kept me satiated for a very long time and I got used to not having any sugar except from the fruit. I often read fruit first thing raises blood sugar, but I feel healthier for it & it makes heavier breakfasts or brunches less tempting. I often add a teaspoon of moringa powder or wheatgrass powder to my shakes also.
In my 15years of dibetic one think I know that
Do proper exercise or gym and eat anything u want...
Eating "anything" is not good advice. Every diabetic is different. type1 45yrs
Great show
Tanks for your information .
Cheers man, this video was huge for me, I am controlling my blood sugar/Ketosis to maintain a GKI of
Walking.
Do it as often as you are capable of, especially after eating as it helps blood sugar, digestion and blood circulation. I know that it's obvious BUT our species developed walking at least 8-10hrs a day and if you really do the research nothing is easier or better for overall health (especially stress).
Not preaching, just got super sick myself and forcing tiny regular daily walks has made a massive difference in my recovery.
Good luck!
I don't eat black beans (or any beans) as a serving on my plate, but I do add a can to soups that I make myself. I also add a can of my favorite spaghetti sauce. A plate of spaghetti has too many carbs, but adding a can of sauce to a large pot of soup adds a lot of flavor but not many carbs to a bowlful. I use a large roasting pan to make soup in so that it lasts all week. I first roast chicken legs in the pan on a rack, then I freeze the legs and use the pan drippings to make the soup. I add cabbage, celery, onion, green pepper, and any salad greens that need to be used up. Also frozen mixed vegetables. When reheating my soup I add shrimp or any other meat. Finally, I save the bones from the chicken legs to make bone broth, which is great as is, or makes another pot soup.
they have healthy low carb noodles now...expensive...
@@dmoney7184 I've tried chickpea and red lentil pasta, the texture of the noodles is not good. I haven't tried shirataki noodles yet, they don't look too good. I'll add a handful of barley to soups.
New sub here from Spokane Valley Wa 😊 i am a recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic,as well as stage 2/3 fibrosis/cirrhosis, so this info is so needed, i am also starting the Mediterranean diet
Thanks Tom!
I love that your mom made you spinach dishes when you were a child. It would be great if you could share those recipes with all of us! I love spinach too, but I'm always baffled at how to fix it in different ways!
I have 1 problem with apple cider vinegar though. I love it, but the high acid content it causes me to breakout in cystic acne...all over my face. It's horrible. I can't go out in public for weeks with my face literally covered with boils! If anyone out there can offer any suggestions how I can use apple cider vinegar without this break out, I would appreciate it very much!
You might have an allergic reaction to it, do the other vinegars affect you the same way too? If yes, lemon juice has similar effects on blood sugar.
Have you ever tried spanakopita? There are some great recipes online and I have tried a couple of them and boy is it good!
Just remember when you get to the part where you're getting ready to put the phyllo dough onto the cooking sheet, you put parchment paper down first and then Italian seasoning! And THEN that will keep your bottom crust crispy.
I don't like cooked spinach only raw however I discovered it you put spinach in any soup, sauce or hot dish you don't taste the spinach but you get the benefits. I buy fresh then freeze. So when I am cooking I just grab some out the freezer it crumples in little pieces. Mushrooms, peppers other veggies I dice and freeze. So I no excuse for not eating veggies and I don't worry about how to cook spinach because it's in everything
perhaps look into substituting it with lemon water
Have you tried thinning it out with water?
What do you recommend for people who have both celiac disease & type 1?
Thank you 👍
Thanks for your advice about foods for diabetic, I will try it, blessings 🌍👍🙌🙌🙌
For the Black Beans. It's the fibre. Fibre and/or fat significantly reduce the metabolic absorption of the sugars (Fibre does a way better job). Equally chickpeas are pretty loaded with both. Carbs + Fibre = slow release. Kale sucks in a massive way. Cream your spinach with a few tablespoons of reduced cream (fibre + fat right!) and you can have mashed potatoes! (well a bit.)
Good information 👍
But Kale is very good, loaded with natural calcium and vitamin K 🥬
I'm curious, have does "kale suck in a massive way"? It is good at scraping the walls of your colon, it is loaded with all kinds of nutrients, and it regulates bowels. How is that bad?
@@cbryce9243 You are right on all points but omitted mouth pleasure. Yes it can be cooked if you pay it special attention but otherwise its like eating a hand towel. That you wiped your dogs arse with.
Don't mix chea seed with sesame seed you will get contpation just use one or the other just from street doctor
Why is kale bad, in your eyes?
I will try blackberries next time I go to the grocery store.
Thanks for the good news👏👏❤️
Thank you so much 💓
Another great video Tom, thank you! I am eating most of your top 7 daily or weekly except Maca root which I haven’t sourced yet (for my wife 😂)Thanks for the tips.
Thank you David! Good luck with sourcing Maca!:)

I have lowered my A1C by .3 points in three months, out of the Type 2 range and into normal. I eat black beans on a lot of things, even pasta!
And increase insulin resistance 👍 congrats.
@THERESA SUNDAY hard pass on that.
Tnxs n God bless...
I'm new to this channel and I am am enjoying myself already and this is really helpful
I’m type 1. I go to the gym a LOT and I’m currently in a bulking phase so I look for ways to get in a lot of calories without spiking blood sugar. For me frying eggs in olive oil is an easy way to get in calories. Without them it would be very difficult for me to hit my protein and calorie goals each day.
same problem here, but wen i use your solution i got high colesterol!!!! 😤😤😤
I have phased eggs out of my diet except for maybe 1 every few weeks. I started needing to drink vegan protein powders to make up for the lost protein from eggs and also dairy. not going to lie, it was tough, i did loose some weight tho.
@@ruicosta8105 True but personally from my own research worrying about cholesterol is sometimes overrated.
@@bendino9016 Just curious, how is eating a processed powder drink healthier than eating real food?
@@cbryce9243 good question. I read the label and buy quality products. I'm trying to avoid large amounts or animal protein and fat since that seems to give me insulin resistance. A month into a vegan diet and I went from 50g carbs a day to like 700g and use the same amount of insulin.
Where do you get the MACA-ROOT?
Thank you
