So Why Do Taters Raise Bloodstream Glucose Greater Than Sugar

No, but you see, Harvard. I refuted your attempt of glorifying carbohydrates.

I’m eating right now French Brie cheese, hopefully containing K2 to control calcium in arteries.

Raw sweet potato is alkalizing to body and will heal the body. Cooked ones will not help much. Also, just sugar level is not the perfect indicator, it is the energy level that matters as the cells need to be fed properly. Long term study at least for a month is required to properly assess the long term impact. Medicines may show immediate short term sugar reduction, but is harmful in the long term.

After a 40 days period low carbing to lose weight and control my T 2 Diabetes I saw my blood pressure rise and my fasting glucose levels spike to 137! So I decided to go potatoes mono diet and in ONLY THREE FU**ING DAYS my blood pressure normalized and my fasting glucose levels dropped from 137 to 92! I can”t stress enough how grateful I am for your teaching Thank you! FASTEST CURE EVER!!!

I LOVE potatoes. So I just eat a small amount. Sweet potato chips from Trader Joe’s with sour cream or hummus is a tasty snack. You can just cut it in half like you did with your nasty burger king hamburger.

Argh your day one test isn’t gonna fly because you didn’t get a pre meal reading. ��‍♂️

It’s not BS bro, potatoes do cause diabetes. I come from a background of high carb, mostly tubers and grains diet with almost not animal product. I have been pre-diabetic for years on that diet before switching towards a low carb high fat animal based foods to reverse my condition.
Stop raising confusion Bro; high carbs do cause diabetes.

Thank you for your videos, you are most helpful. I keep thinking about people who are diagnosed with diabetes when they don’t have it.

Don’t you realize you’re hurting people by all this stuff that you say… all these generalizations… I have type 2.. I tried the keto diet.. and my BGL went down and within the first week I was off medication.. then I heard about the potato diet, so I figured if it really works then what the hell, I mean at least I’ll be saving lots of money.. so I ate nothing but potatoes for 3 weeks.. no oils no butter no nothing.. just boiled.. and I eat them with a fork.. I tried both eating them hot.. and cold to get the resistant starch thing.. and the result was that my weight actually went down a few pounds.. but my BGL went through the roof.. it was very high, even with medication… So, I went back to low carb.. and my BGL went back down and I stopped the medication… So, very difficult to believe words over personal experience… OH, and here in Egypt, the majority of the people are very low income and can’t afford meats and fish and stuff.. and they rely mostly on rice and beans and potatoes and things like that.. and type 2 is widespread here… Again.. facts that someone sees first hand will always trump words… I just wish people would telling others “do this and you’ll be better” like they have the absolute truth.. You do what you feel is good for you.. but don’t go around telling people what to do because you could very well end up hurting them… And by the way, I say the same thing to vegans and keto proponents and carnivores and everyone.. you people are not Gods and you do not know the absolute truth!!!

I don’t agree with the statment regarding eating the high carb food is ok for some. It eventually leads to diabetes if they keep it up.
Love ya!

I don’t know if I am analyzing your test correctly,but when using fat your blood glucose level spiked more slowly,but after 2 hours your blood sugar levels actually got higher.Please forgive me if I got it wrong, because i like that you are trying to help people., but that was my interpretation.

A blood test of an apple vs one cup of berries would be useful for people to see. To understand how fruit and spike sugar levels.

Simple and straight forward, deal with the cause not the symptom. Thank Spud Fit!

I’d love to see what a resistant starch (ie: cooled and reheated) from potatoes does to blood sugar.

Amazingly well articulated. I was trying to make sense of the hclf vs lchf and this just cleared it up for me, thank-you!

As long as you keep injesting the levels of carbs recommended by the American Diabetes Association, you are never going to beat diabetes! Period. Sorry to put it so bluntly, but I encourage all of you to take a deeper look into their ‘food pyramid’. All of those carbs are going to increase the amount of insulin in your body…the doctor will keep ramping up your medications and end result: your sugars might eventually come down on the meds but the disease is going to progress and eventually kill you. Again, you don’t have to listen to me on this, it is certainly your choice, but diabetes is reversible for the large majority of us. Last bit of advice: follow the money trail because those who sell the diabetes medications and supplies depend upon you staying sick….there’s no money in prevention, folks. Just remember that.

I appreciate your video. Even though I am a diabetic I eat sweet potato, but only 5 ounces per meal and it doesn’t rise tremendously.

I can’t believe he is missing leading people.Card are nooooo good for diabetes people my A1c1 was 7.5 and after 3 months on a no cards diet it went down to a 5.2 and my doctor took me off my medication.

I am pre-diabetic and just tested this myself. Half boiled sweet potato, 1h = 120, 2h = 95. Not bad at all. Guess serving size and cooking method matter.

I think a normal person would probably come up about the same….. you need to add a normal person in your test

fat doesn’t spike the insulin! i’m sorry, but you are not well informed on this! i reversed my type-2 diabeteswith lchf diet, but if i eat potatoes..OMG! MY BLOOD SUGAR STAYS HIGH ALL THE TIME! I’m sorry, but it could be good for a normal person, but not diabetic person!!!

Fat acts as an insulator to prevent a small percentage of starch from being converted to sugar in the body. Makes perfect sense,think about it. if you took something and dipped it in oil,than placed it in water, the oil would protect it from getting wet in the same way you put oil on your deck to prevent water damage. But, because you’e chewing a lot of it gets dispersed,and separated,so not all of the food will be surrounded by the oil once it reaches your stomach.

next time eat a sweet potato and go for a nice 15-20 min walk and then test and see what the number comes out too. i would be very curious if you burned off some of the carbs and get a lower BS reading

I will not argue with you, potatoes and flour goods are a poor choice for the insulin resistant. Combinations do work. Apples are better tolerated with a nice gob of peanut butter. But you can take a great food and process it until it’s unhealthy. Oats can be steel cut goodness or an instant pack of instant high blood glucose. Ancient grains unprocessed are good substitutes for potatoes and rice. Lots of good food without the fast starches

i got news for you, hard liquor can and will damage your heart
.

Berm there done it…need to but just can’t choke those down… idc how good it is for you supposedly or truthfully… (garlic, scallops) of you can’t gag it down it doesn’t matter.

I am not a diabetic, but I am extremely insulin resistant. I thought that sweet taters were a great substitute. Ummm…no. Thank you for this video.

I have just discovered your site. I think your approach to diabetes are heaven sent I have had diabetes for over 30 years. I started following your research, along with my personal research. I no longer trust most traditional diabetes treatments they just don’t work, at least for me. I have taken full responsibility for health. Doctors can assist, but I am in full charge. I see some improvement in my sugar readings, more than I have ever seen in 30 years. I can tell my body is trying to heal itself. God’s work is amazing. I guess some medical professions who make their living from diabetics, especially pharmaceutical companies, don’t like to hear this.

Hi Andrew. Yes, thanks to your intriguing explanation, my inspiration for yet more questions ��. With fat cells accumulating around the insulin receptor, I can understand how a zero carbs carnivore diet bipasses the insuline resistance. But now I try to picture the storage of fat outside body cells as well as inside fat cells, and in an obese person, what the ratio between the two could look like? And how starch (and vitamin A) is helping to shrink the fat cells and/or remove the fat stored outside normal cells? Any studies around on this topic? (Yes, I need to do a crash course in biocehemistry)

with the second experiment, the fact that you had protein with it (bacon) is the reason, it didnt go down quickly, actually protein makes sugar stay a little longer in your blood:)

good information, shame about the rampant racist and homophobic undertones. 

I wonder if you ate the skin, where most of the fiber is, what your blood sugar level would’ve been?

Here is just another example of the rumors about certain carbohydrates that are supposed to be easy on a persons blood sugar are actually incorrect.

Apart from some slight inaccuracies in calling the relevant items glucose and fat ‘cells’ instead of molecules, this is a good simple explanation of the mechanism around using a wholefoods plantbased diet to allow the body to heal from Type 2 Diabetes. This disease is due to our rich, processed high fat diet and is unknown in populations around the world eating a healthy plantbased diet.

I find it strange that sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes. After all, sweet potatoes are sweet. I read this is because upon heating, an enzyme particular to sweet potatoes start breaking down the starch and turns it into maltose, which is a type of sugar. The longer they are cooked, the sweeter they become.

You should get a steamer for your veggies, and the rare sweet potato. Keep those vitamins are their peak performance. Also never eat an entire sweet potato 1/2 cup 4oz is a hearty healthy serving, skin on, cinnamon, and butter, and even us diabetics can have it ocassionally.

I think the food industry and drug industry know these results. They leave the info out and keep everyone dependent on their medicines.

I have never taste a sweat potato, IT something about the name, IT probably taste sweat,and i do not eat or like anything WHO taste sweat.I do not eat ordinary potatoes either,and i keep away from rice and pasta too.I Hope i wrote sweat the right way.

Something has to give every time you quit eating one thing and then up the consumption of another safer suspect food option. What happens to the blood cholesterol and other things in the blood that are measured in order to avoid blood sugar spikes. Genetics, age and years of bad eating habits, being fat and minimal body exercise are likely contributors to our declining health. What foods, minerals, vitamins, etc can be eaten to make the pancreas more able to tolerate sugar at reasonable levels?

Funny that you mentioned the vegans complaining about animal fat. Please, ignore them. The vegan cult do no know facts about the human body. For example, 25% of the total body cholesterol is found in the brain. 75% of the brain’s white matter is made of cholesterol. What cholesterol does for the body? Reportedly, cholesterol is a necessary component of every cell membrane in the body, low levels have been linked to low testosterone, and hormones like estrogen and progesterone (made from cholesterol), low levels of vitamin D (also made from cholesterol), low levels increase the probability of developing dementia and loss of memory. Cholesterol is the precursor (mother) of hormones that balance sugar in the blood. Mr Vegan: please explain how are you feeding your brain cells and body WITHOUT animal fat and cholesterol? Mr Vegan please do not become part of the new dementia epidemic when turning into your 60-70’s. Look what the 1990’s LOW FAT diet caused: the obesity, diabetes and heart disease epidemics when the rocket scientists decided to replaced the lard for sugar and transfats. Good luck. Thanks.

I ate five smallish sweet potatoes my blood sugar went from 115 to 210. after 70 minutes l will not do that again.��

I had chocolate cake last night. You can say it nearly killed me. 445 after falling asleep for 3 hours! Wonder if it was higher. I’m now following you forever!

Dennis, that was so informative! Thank you! Stay well ��. Oh as a thought, what about oatmeal made with milk, with butter and cinnamon v just plan oatmeal made with water?

Ok, but then why all the people who are eating low fat diets but high i carbs still have problems with diabetes? Also have heart problems and so on.

The extra protein continued the spite. Your should not have had the bacon.

Glad you use butter! What about the skins of the sweet potato???

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Insulin resistance is a very complex issue that goes beyond the simple black or white debate of carbs or fats. Many things can cause insulin resistance. Some people are resistant to carbs and function better on fats whilst others do better on carbs. There are so many things to take into consideration from genetics to lifestyle to environment. Hell stress alone has been shown to cause insulin resistance. The scientific literature is replete with contradictory statistics. Do not let ideology lead your opinions as though they are shared by everybody across the board. Vegans are notorious for cherry picking studies that support their view whilst conveniently ignoring any science that contradicts their ideologic dogma.

And yet they always try to make their food look and taste like meat.

It’s because fat slows down absorption of anything you eat, but eat it with meat, not carbs.

Please weigh your food items on a scale and report the weight in grams. This will help us determine the carbohydrate load that you are ingesting. The weight may cause different blood glucose responses.

I have read if you cook the potatoes and refrigerate them overnight and eat them the next day that somehow makes them a little safer for your blood sugar. Maybe do another test to see if it works.

interesting, I think the lesson is that on a sustained diet of high fat, high protein you will become more and more insulin resistant, your body will get less good at regulating blood sugar, as you saw in the experiment, having fat slowed down your body’s ability to absorb the carbs and lower your blood sugar, so perhaps the vegans are correct in that, when you eliminate fats, your ability to metabolize carbs improves dramatically.

Well explained Andrew and many thanks for that. Not eating carbs in order to control blood sugar levels is like not filling up petrol if your car uses too much fuel. While it will reduce your fuel consumption, you will not be able to drive as far. Avoid the carbs and your body likely will not take you as far either: it will shorten your life.

CARBOHYDRATES, are the sugars, starches and fibers found in FRUITS, GRAINS,VEGATABLES and MILK PRODUCTS. {Animal products besides milk, are where in this equation?} DIABETES, a disease in which the body’s ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of CARBOHYDRATES and elevated levels of glucose in the blood and urine.

I’m not able to eat a whole sweet potato, just about 1/4 or 1/3. It’s also about eating smaller portions.

what you are saying is mostly wrong, sure our cells are clogged with fat, and we are insulin resistant. So we have too much insulin running around in our bodies. and are in danger of running out of insulin and becoming type 1 diabetic, because our body is trying to get the fat into the cells, and can’t so it produces more insulin and then it stores it as fat around our waist. So now what do we do. everything turns to glucose except fat, so you think we eat all this fat that makes the situation worse, but low carbers don’t they just eat enough fat to keep them full and eat green leafy vegetables as well. you may be one of these rare people that can get away with eating the wrong type of carbs. We are all different, I was on the starch diet for 2 years my cholesterol went up my BG was terrible, now on LCHF and are no longer diabetic with fasting till midday.

Dennis, please explain the difference between the Simple Carbondale and the Complex Càrbohydrates and how they affect your sugar. Thanks

The butter, lard and bacon reduced the peak of the blood sugar but it took longer to come back to normal. I do not think either option is acceptable. For that reason, I go low carb and no animal fat. I use olive oils to get my fats. Also eat fish like salmon and sardines.

Keto is great, but the problem with it is that it makes the individual too carb sensitive long term wise.

You may not believe me. But I have 3 week looking in to your video. And I started doing that you say. And I have lost 10p and my sugar has gone down. When I go to the dr. En March I will tell you what he say. Thank cause you show use.how it us. OTHER JUST SAY IT.

you make very good sense and present the vital information so well! thank you!

Sweet potatoes are a great way to wind up with kidney stones.

I swear I am so confused no it all, I just don’t know what to believe.I am Type 2 and originally lost a lot of weight fast by followers a Low Carn diet. But truth be told, I was often left hungry. So I changed to higher carbs and more plants and reduced meat but still ate fish. My weight has gradually increased and now I have put on too much weight. After watching this video I will change to what our suggest and try again and subscribe.But should I also give up Avocado, bio yogurt and coconut oil?

Doctors are reversing type 2 diabetes with low carb high fat diet and intermittent fasting. Vegan vegetarian science is the same science that brought us the dangerous trans fats. You have to realize the oils used for french fries is vegetable oil not saturated fat not to mention the high Glysemic index of potatoes. We don’t have the large fore or hind gut of grazing animals and even the larger GI tracts of our closest relatives like apes. Our small gut is for digesting dense exogenous forms of protein and fat.

this’s how doctor in my country kill my gramma… they suggest only vegan diet for her… made she got stroke 2 times because of her high blood pressure (by product of prolong diabete), and then die on the bed when the nurse go outside and did not help her get up to breath…

Glad to hear that spirits such as rum, vodka, and whiskey do not cause diabetes. I never mix, so I guess my blood sugar levels should be fine. Just the state of my liver that I need to worry about:P Enjoying some Flor de Caña this afternoon. Nicaraguan. Quite nice! It’s no Pusser’s, and I think I might just prefer Lamb’s Navy over it, however it’d probably earn a place in my Top 15, if not Top 10.

Love you and your wife’s experiments!! Great channel, very helpful!! Thank you!! �� Great work so positive!

I’m a type 2 diabetic and I just went vegan a month ago. I’ve been doing half and eating a lot of potatoes and white rice. When I went to the doctors they said my Ac1 has raised. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! What do I do?

Why is a potato bad for diabetics?

Potatoes are starchy vegetables, which means that they have a high GI and raise blood sugar levels.. In other words, do not follow the advice of this video.. Proteins and good fats stabilize your blood sugar. Good health to all.

Animals fat bacon it is bad. Yam �� you put cinnamon and your blood is normal. I knew a woman who reverse her blood eating yam with cinnamon.

I saw on other channel more specific tests.
A guy was testing particular foods without mixing them and it was always 600 calories.
His blood sugar droped evrytime, if he ate butter, or cream, or coconut fat.
I shared my thoughts on it with a nutritionist and he confirmed,
that as soon the digestive tract detect the incoming food,
it releases a bit insulin as precaution.
Why?
On any diet the body tries to get blood sugar level back down to normal as soon as possible.
Otherwise it causes trouble in long term, glycation, metabolic syndrome, etc.

Such a wonderful person, dedicating his personal health just to educate fellow diabetics.

So much conflicting advice all over Youtube. Can you post blood sugar levels before and after your meal?

My sugar can drop by 50 to 100 mg/dl when i eat only meat. I guess that insulin will be triggerd even if you eat almost no carbs or sugar, so consuming meat can drop blood sugar.. vegans are comletly crazy.. zero evidence zero science.. forget them

The Mastering diabetes guys says,” that fatty acids from meat and high fat foods block the insulin receptor sites and make you insulin resistant. Then when you eat carbohydrates on top of that it spikes your blood sugar levels higher. They said drop the fat and protein and eat whole food plant based carbohydrates like fruit, rice and potatoes and you will increase insulin sensitivity and reverse your type 2 diabetes! They also said a keto genic diet in the long term will cause beta cell death and keep you insulin resistant so that you have to stay on it forever and you can never eat carbs.

Am a Nigerian and eat food like our vegetable and l use my master to check my food and am getting better

I pressure cooked yellow potatoes, put them in the fridge overnight and then tested my glucose: I started with a reading of 110, I ate a 2″ x 3″ reheated potato and after 1 hour my reading was 133. So, I can do it in moderation, occasionally. I read about how cooking it different ways can change the starch in potatoes to resistant starch (body treats resistant starch like fibre) and it worked for me. I’m so happy.

I’m Type 2 diabetic (blood glucose around 126+ on average), will be trying potato diet for the next 30 days. I will also include tea with honey/dried fruit drink. I will be eating around 1.5 -2kg of potatoes daily divided into two meals. After each meal a 10-15 minute excercise keeping my heartbeat rate of 140-170. See what happens.
My weight is 95kg at the moment.
Potato is “kartoshka” in my language.
Well, let’s go!

Dr. Joseph Kraft tested 14,000 patients with five hour glucose AND insulin tests. The scary result is that far more people have hidden diabetes than previously suspected. Dr. Jeff Gerber estimates that in the U. S., the real number might be above 70% of adults. Even if you have normal weight, sugar is NOT your friend, regardless of where you’re eating it.

Try this and let us know how it goes for you. Eat a meal or a potato, go for a 1 hour walk or bicycle ride keep moving for the whole hour then take your blood sugar test. Just curious how it would change.

Helo sir how r u I like ur all videos. Its request make ur videos shorter thamx

I think the slower drop was was just from the extra calories from fat and protein. All of which are no carbs

If reduce crbs u r also reducing insulin the also fat will be converted into glucose in the liver by gluconeogenesis��

Spud Fit, thanks for the video. After 5 years of keto diet, and while I had lower blood sugar level, Type2 didn’t improve at all.. if any it has gotten worse. My IR has gotten so bad that having some carbs would make my gl go up very high. Many keto worshipers go nuts when someone goes against them saying type2 is curable to the point of being able to eat carbs again.

So, I’ve begun the starch diet (Dr McDougalls diet) 5 days ago with much skepticism.. and it’s weird and amazing, but the results are surprisingly good compared to keto diet that I’ve been doing for last 5 years eating lots of red meat, poultry, pork, bacon, butter, milk, yougurts, and stirred fried dishes (olive oil, avocado oil, corn oil, grape seed oil, etc). No carbs which I love. And I ALWAYS craved for carbs (rice, noodles, bread).

Keto worshipers believe that low glucose level means they have reversed type2.. but that’s not reversal. reversal is when you can go back to eating rice, potatos, pasta and bread and your gl stays within normal range and comes back downn quickly.

Anyways, I wanted to test this myself firsrt hand, so I’ve been cutting out ALL meat (redmeat, poultry, pork, fish, eggs, dairy, butter, any kind of vegetable oil -extra extra virgin oil, avocado oil, coconut oil), and eating mostly starchy food.. rice, yes white rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pasta (not creamy or oil pasta, but tomato), pizza with veggies on them (no cheese), nooodles, and whole wheat bread, rye bread.

I admit that GL level went high. I’m sure that my fat level in my cells are pretty high after eating bacon, pork, and all those oils for years, so it’s going to take some time for the fats to come off my cells to allow insulin to work properly. According to Dr McDouball, sugar helps in making IR get better so I’m sticking with it.. with some exercise. And surprisingly, my GL as days went by, didn’t go as high as I expected while eating LOADS of all carbs and starches.. While on keto if I ate half as much starch that I am now, my GL would be over 270-300+ but mine was around 180. so I’m going to keep doing this along with good exercise and see how things go. Last night I had a LOT of starches before I went to bed.. two bowls of rice, 3 steamed potatoes, 2 sweet potatoes, and handful of stired brown rice (no oil) and slept like a baby. no pain on my hands and feet, and no blurred vision.

I’ll keep posting my results regularly and see how i do after a month, two and three months on NO MEAT, Dairy, NO OILS and keep doing high amounts of starches/veggies diet and see how my IR improves. Like I said before it will take a while for my body to get rid of fats in my body enough for IR to get really better. I’m going to also do IF and OMAD and exercise along with the starch diet. I’ve done fasting, dry fasting, IF and omad with Keto, and my type2 didn’t get ANY better in last 5 years as far as the root problem which is insulin resistance.. I will see how my GL and IR goes after couple of months on NO FATS while eating plenty of starch/veggies.. maybe I’ll even make a video showing how my GL levels adjust after eating tons of starches once my IF gets better from avoiding meats, dairy and oils.

AGAIN, KETO HAS NOT DONE ANY GOOD to my INSULIN RESISTANCE. it has made it worse if any.. so I’m giving up keto for now completely.:)

btw, this guy explains well why KETO is not GOOD for Type2. The Keto worshipers please watch the video below (7 min video), and give some alternative views a chance.

https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-a-ketogenic-diet-help-diabetes-or-make-it-worse/

What the absolute fuck. Hahaha this is so wrong. Your blood sugar will be fucked

Beautiful simple explanation! Explains why a zero carb carnivore diet has worked so well for me, better than keto did with the extra carbs. Switching overnight to a potato based diet is working just as well for me now ��, better than a whole food plant based did with the extra fats from avocados, nuts and olive oil.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I AM DIABETIC AND I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOUR CHANNEL GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS

I believe it is the light yellow sweet potato and not the orange one that is low-glycemic.

I have question i have read that eating potatoes they have lot of vitamins but lack some key vitamins such as b12 and A and K as well as you have to eat alot to get protein did this effect you any?

Well said…its fat not carbs…that contributes to diabetes…Im a diabetic…drug free eating carbs only, zero fat

This is another reference looking at the global picture shown by large studies
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5466941/

High carb does not work for everyone. I was on the potato diet for two weeks and my diabetes went sky high. I was constantly urinating, thirsty, groggy minded, and every time I ate or sat still for a few minutes I went to sleep. I slept most of the day and night every day because my sugar was so high. I wasn’t eating massive amounts of potatoes either, and only baked ones with a little salt and pepper. I wish it had of worked for me because I love potatoes, but it made my sugar worse.

To put things in a nutshell. ALL carbs are converted to sugar in your body. IF a carb has lots of fiber, it may be converted to sugar a bit slower. End of story. If you are diabetic, pre-diabetic, or insulin resistant. (that actually means your insulin levels are always high.) The only good carbs for you are from green leafy veggies, broccoli, asparagus, spinach and other such things. No fruit is not good for you either. Eat plenty of fat and protein. Throw out the processed seed oils such a margarine, corn oil, canola oil etc. Eat real butter, coconut oil, lard, beef tallow. You know….. real food that isn’t made in a factory.

Indians are vegans but they consume high fat diet! A documentary was recently published!

Thanks for being the test subject!! You are so knowledgeable, it is a shame most doctors do not know what you have learned with research and experience.

Cinnamon first thing in the morning in a tea or coffee just a pinch or two. Watch your blood sugar for the day it changed my Mothers a lot I recommend it in a celestial tea every morning it was under control not spiking.

I understand the 2 hour test is to check to see if medication is working, not to see how high the blood sugar spikes.

Can this happen with fats from nuts and seeds? (I don’t use oils) Thanks.

Mr. Spud Fit, How long does it take for the cells to begin working properly? Days? Weeks? Longer? The minute my sugar spikes, I freak out!

Dennis potatoes are bad for diabetics but are delicious �� for non diabetic. I knew a woman who reverse diabetes with yams and cinnamon. I drank cinnamon tea and I proof for me yes my level were good. I eat pancakes French fries before see the doctor 89 level. After that all my levels were good.

http://www.drkaslow.com/html/food_combining.html

Scientific research on food combinations.
Bottomline? High starch foods combined with fats or protein is disaster.
Seems the one test we still must do, is to take FIBRE like chia or physillium husks with a high starch meal. Just maybe, I wish, that may work

The FDA is investigating metformin they’re saying it’s causing cancer.

But why would you eat a whole sweet potato if you are diabetic?

From what I’ve heard white potatoes are healthy when they have been allowed to go cold before eating.
Did you try this test will hot or cold potatoes?Also boiled is the best way to go I believe.Take care & thank you.

Thanks for sharing this video and others been of great understanding.

Very good video and test! I’d use a spoon though, LOL, or “mouth shovel” as grandad called it.

If eating a very low-fat diet cures diabetes, that would be amazing. Have any scientist proved this with studies?

RESISTANT STARCH WHOLE PLANT FOODS… = Low carb…..Lots of Fiber. Good gut Bacteria…

I hope you don’t mind a little constructive criticism. Smile a bit and be more animated, and if you have to read a cue card, wearing glasses will make it less noticeable. I’m not claiming to be a presenting expert myself, but thought this might help. I hope its taken in the kind manner it is meant.
The videos content though is fascinating and very helpful. Thank you very much for posting it.

I am a type 2 since 1999, I tried the whole foods, vegan diet. What I found was my blood sugar was not as high as I expected, my weight jumped up about 8Lbs and never came back down….I remained at 157Lbs on my 5ft 7 inch frame for 3 months. My blood sugar ranged from a fasting of 90 to a post prandial of 150-185, depending on if I had any fruit or starch in the meals. Legumes and potatoes, rice would shoot my blood sugar to just under 200. I had these without added oils/fats. I understand the whole foods, plant based lifestyle very well. I had anywhere from 1600 to 2000 calories per day, it didn’t seem to matter how much I ate, I didn’t gain any more weight, but I didn’t lose any either. If I were not diabetic-I would probably do this, but a type 2 cannot do this and keep blood sugar down. I believe there are different types of what is termed insulin resistance. The kind you explain is by the added junk we consume with real food, but also a type 2 who has damaged the beta cells probably cannot fix them and are doomed to a low carb lifestyle, or the use of meds. I do not believe someone on insulin meds can do this without the meds. I absolutely agree that potatoes or any whole food causes diabetes, I don’t think any reputable person really thinks that-it is just a fact that potatoes-in the general populace are consumed with butter, cheese or bad fats like oils…the same goes for a lot of carby food. I am curious what your fasting and post prandial blood sugars are and if you were ever on insulin as a type 2?

I’m not diabetic. I’ve just gone vegan. Do you think putting fats, as in nuts, on oat meal and covering in hemp milk is a bad idea? I don’t seem to have a problem with it. but that’s maybe because its slow release carbs.

I disagree that diabetes is caused by fat and animal products. It is caused by extreme amounts of sugar in the blood. When the insulin is overwhelmed, it becomes useless in fighting sugar.

High fat low carb diets do work in the fight against diabetes. The bad processed carbs are gone and the resistance resets. This diet does fight diabetes but only if fat is the primary energy source. Too much protein hurts the kidneys and increases insulin.

Plant based diets are also good at curing diabetes. The term high carb is deceptive because an apple banana or potato carb is different than a donut or pancake carb. Vegetable carbs bind themselves to sugars to slow digestion down and help to lower the glucose response. While a potato is high in “carbs” it is also high in magnesium and potassium that work together to get it through the system.

Here is the key. Insulin is a hormone that when triggered, converts energy into fat. Plain and simple. A lean steak will trigger more insulin that a cup of oil. So heavy protein with fat balances out. The American diet is diabetes provoking because we are taking in massive amounts of calories from fat, sugar and processed carbs. Plain and simple. A “high carb plant diet” is still very low on the caloric scale and the body is using all of the calories taken in. It is so hard to overload on potatoes because they are so low in energy. You would have to consume 20 potatoes a day to get 2000 calories. Even then the nutrients would counteract the starch.
Combine a potato with a 15oz steak large sweet tea and full fat dressing salad and that potato is not just a calorie bomb in the system. That energy overload will store as fat because that is what insulin does. If you ate a meal of potatoes only it might trigger an insulin response but you would be so full from eating potatoes you would seriously throw up before you could get a calorie overload. Like I said before, a cup of EVOO is low on the insulin index but has hardly any nutritional value. A person can live off of potatoes alone but not off of bottles of oil.

This is science! For me, it is better to eat PB than keto because I get more from PBD and it’s better for me. Fats from nuts seeds and veggies are so much better digested slow.

I mix small pieces of sweet potatoes with a little bit of white rice & a pinch of himalayan/herb salt 2make a small bowl of porridge ����

Potatoes are quicks way to spike my sugar. But I fare better if I slice them and soak them in water, PAT them dry and then fry them.
