  • So I’m trying out Fenugreek to see if it’ll help with my pre-diabetes and blood sugar levels. I’ve only been on it for 3 days and I smell SO DIFFERENT. Thankfully I’m okay with it, but if you’ve taken Fenugreek before what’s been your experience?

    I took fenugreek for years when I was nursing my first baby. I worked full time so I found it really helpful to keep up the milk production. I kinda miss maple-scented bathroom visits 😂 (I drank it as tea)

      @@justjazz7409 Hi! I just bought fenugreek seeds at the bulk store. If you have an Indian or Arabic store nearby, they're really inexpensive.
      If you're taking fenugreek to increase milk production, you'll also want to avoid anti-galactagogues like sage.

      @@hallease Your issue is not Sugar babe, please do not be misled by the rhetoric that is often peddled. Feast on sugar and whittle down your fat intake and protein to very small quantities you will be splendid!. For the next month do not consume more than 10g of fat and 50g protein a day. Up the carbs, remove stimulants (tea, coffee etc) and 200ml of water every hour you are awake. No more than that. In addition the fenugreek optional and you will not be pre-diabetic/diabetic. Take this from someone who monitors ketones and blood glucose religiously. I've drank 500g of sugar at a time and my blood glucose has never exceeded 8. Cheers to health and vitality x

      @@hallease girl yes! The seed can be ground and used as a spice in Indian food, pretty much all curry powders have fenugreek in them. But it's also grown and the leaves are used the same way you'd use parley or basil. Very nutrient dense and I think the nutrients are accessed better when it's sprouted like most legumes.

    • @yemberzalpxta
      @yemberzalpxta Před 8 měsíci

      No Sis, the smell is due to sotalone, a compound that at low concentrations has a distinct maple syrup-like odour given fenugreek is used in the manufacturing of artificial maple syrup. Since sotalone passes through the body unchanged, it can impart a scent both to urine and sweat.
