Blood Sugar: The Differences in "Diets" - Low-Fat, South Beach, Atkins...

@echobink Actually, I totally agree with you; it's mostly that people have this misperception that it's WAY low-carb, or that he eschews vegetables, which isn't correct. But that's all they remember, so that's what I'm speaking to. I only think people could eat more veggies, but other than that, ...

@NobbyKNobbs Yes, eating every 3 hours is very helpful for keeping your blood sugar stable, which will prevent cravings. I talk about this in more detail in the 4th video, so let me know if that doesn't clear it up for you!

@alphacause - Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! I typically eat eggs or bacon (!) or sausage in the morning, sometimes a piece of toast with butter and cheese on it (that's my comfort food!). Salads with nuts and cheese and maybe a few dried cranberries, spoonfuls of almond butter or vegetables ...

@StratMatt777 Yes, high blood sugar can cause that, but you're right - a food intolerance can as well. Just so you know, 20% of diabetics are thin, so you're correct in thinking that this should be dealt with. No matter where people are, I think we really REALLY need to eat way less carbs than we...

@cirosuperiore Thank you - and, of course, there's only so much I can say in a short period of time! Starches and carbs are the same thing, and I DO mention that fruit is a problem - I definitely think we eat WAY too much, in all forms. Thank goodness the food pyramid is gone finally! Not sure ab...

@frodosauce The only reason I would disagree is because I've seen plenty of patients who are "eating healthy" - they come in eating only whole grains, and make their own food and don't eat processed anything, and still have insulin resistance. It's completely possible to eat oatmeal, and brown ri...

@frodosauce There are definitely exceptions to the rule, although they are few and far between. If you are doing well, then that's great! Of course, it's hard to tell how someone's health is from a comment on Youtube, but if you're not having those symptoms, then you are doing better than 99% of ...

@grvonny I'm wondering if you have a vitamin B deficiency, because B's get depleted with high carb intake (and stress) and lots of people are deficient. It often shows up as a "frazzled" or "frayed" nerves feeling because it's used in nerve transmission (and then people have the experience of fee...

@debradebbiedeb Well, yes, lactose is dairy sugar, but one of the ways that keeps us from abusing dairy sugar is that it always (in nature) comes paired with fat, which has you get satiated faster. Unlike, say, a muffin. Avoid low-fat dairy like the plague!
