 Hi guys, so this is Dr. Ahmet Ergi. Welcome to my YouTube channel and today we have two people and we just bumped them. What's your name? Dr. Ahmet Ergi. Dr. Ahmet Ergi. Dr. Ahmet Ergi. So we have Dr. Ahmet Ergi here. So what I'm gonna do today, I'm gonna sneak into their basket and see what they got and we are gonna actually talk about what is good and what's not in their bag. Let's dive into it. Alright Dr. Ahmet Ergi. So what have you got here? So do you have diabetes, Dr. Ahmet Ergi? Yes, I do. So Dr. Ahmet Ergi. What is your A1C, Dr. Ergi? So Gerard does not always say A1C, which is okay, a lot of people don't. Do you have a primary care doctor? Yes, he just started going. So the first thing, you know, our viewers know what an A1C is. So I'm gonna tell Gerard to follow our channel so he will know what an A1C is. So A1C is average blood sugar numbers in 3 months. Oh yeah, okay. So do you remember that? Yeah. What is the number? 220. 220. So your averages are 220? Gerard is saying that his average blood sugar is around 220. That means that his A1C is gonna be around 9%. So there's a calculation method we talked about in the previous videos. But let's talk about the foods we have here. Now are you eating these or are you sharing with other people? That. So this is all his. Okay, so we're gonna go. She already gave out the information. So let's see. Fritos. Okay. Let's talk about the good stuff first. Let's see what we got here. Okay, so you got chicken ties. So why not chicken breast and chicken ties? They taste better, don't they? Chicken does taste better. So it tastes better. He got a one point. That's true. But I'm gonna give a minus point too because the problem with the chicken ties is you see the oldest fan around here? Yeah. The animal fan. Interestingly, even if Jared eats this chicken, that chicken can increase Jared's blood sugar even without eating any carbs. Did you know that? No. That is because, first of all, proteins turn into sugar, but also the fat content because of the animal fat, that will actually rise your blood sugar as well. It will make immediately insulin resistant. Let's see what else we got. So chicken breast would have been a better choice. Okay. All right. So we got juice here. Of course, juice is a no no. Now, what would be an alternative for this? Go on orange juice. Go on orange juice. What would be an alternative? No water. No water. No water. Don't be good about that, man. It's okay. You know what would be an alternative? Brownberry juice. Brownberry juice. Like you even dye it, brownberry juice. Okay, so that would be a good one, but also the best thing to do actually have the real orange, right? The real orange. Because the real orange has what is in there? It's fibers, right? Yeah. So when you make it a juice, they processed it. They got knows what they put in here. And if you look at here, the total carbohydrate is 33 grams in one bottle and you have no fiber. So practically, if you drink this orange juice, it can increase your blood sugar from 200 to 400 within 30 minutes. Can you believe that? This is crazy. So what is this? Gatorade? Zero sugar. Zero sugar. So I'm okay with that. Perfectly okay. Although some people still have blood sugar spikes. If you are really resistant to insulin, it can still increase your blood sugar, believe it or not. Sometimes even the ospartame or the sweeteners can do it by this way better than the orange juice. So if you want to go for that. So of course we have these, I don't know what that is. Carbs. So here it says 16 grams of carbs in the serving size. If you look at it here. So nine servings per container. So how many people eat this? How many times do you sit down and divide it into nine? Any nine times. Take a little bit. Okay. Gatorade is actually doing really good. But most of my patients will probably take the whole thing and eat it at a time. There is around 91 chips here and nine servings per container. So if you look at the total carbohydrates, this is how you read it by the way. So 16 grams of carbs. So if you eat, would you eat like one quarter of this? Probably. So if he eats one quarter of this, that would be around three servings. And three servings will give him 48 grams of carbs. So 48 grams of carbs. Now, let me ask you this. When you eat food, for example, when you have lunch or dinner, do you count carbs? Like how much carbs you're eating? Do you think about that? So a lot of people don't and that's very important, right? A man, a handsome man like him, in his size, I would say he shouldn't eat more than 45 grams of carbs if he wants to control his blood sugars. That means that this could have been his dinner and that's all. And the problem is, if he had a quarter of this for his dinner, he will still be hungry because that's gonna spike the blood sugar and it will get out of his system so quickly within two hours he will be craving. So the best is to totally avoid these things because they are definitely diabetes killer. Your blood sugar will be so high. What else do you got? So the Cheetos is the same way if you look at the carbohydrates, 50 to 16 grams per serving, but most people will end up eating 45 to 50 grams of carbs. Now, we have more carbs and more carbs. Okay. Alright guys, thank you for watching. We'll see you in the next one. And before you go, please click on this video next.
