Very good!

Thank you, happy to see you find it so helpful ❤️

Glad to see it’s of value to you! Yes, steal cut is perfect.

Where did I say you ONLY need to eat broccoli?

You are welcome?

Unfortunately, it's not that great. We will release a video about this soon.

It's borderline healthy/unhealthy. So it's not ideal but from time to time you can eat it with moderation.

As long as it's a healthy bread 😊

Just because we call something 'staff of life' doesn't mean it is :).

😂 Who said anything about eating flour? And don't act like digestive enzymes don't exist.

@@illnessfreelife Cleary you have never been in the back of a bakery. All bread is absolute rubbish, fattening with zero nutrition, its primary use was to fill stomachs in a famine.

You are welcome!

I get your point. But people all around the world used to eat all kind of different things. People in the Amazon region had different things than people living in Scandinavia or the Sahara region. But if you zoom out and look at what 'groups' of food people were eating, it was always the same: fruits, vegetables, animals, and nuts. And later - after the agricultural revolution - came the grain-based products. What we definitely didn't eat was all the processed junk you can find in grocery stores nowadays. That's the message I was trying to convey.

You are welcome! Can you share a link of the bread/muffin made from the sprouted grains? I'm curious what the nutritional information is.

Compare it to smoking. Is half a cigarette really that bad? Of course, it’s nowhere near as bad as a pack a day. But I wouldn’t recommend either. But I understand you. It's an issue many many people struggle with. But the key is to start thinking outside the box more. We’re so used to eating potatoes, rice, and pasta with dinner, and we act like there’s nothing in the world to replace them with. But look how much Mother Earth has so to offer. Way more than, sorry to say, basically bland and tasteless potatoes. A small piece of potato isn’t terrible, but ask yourself: will this really work in the long run? Why make a big deal about keeping potatoes in your diet when there are sooo many great alternatives that: 1 are absolutely delicious (personally, I find them even tastier than potatoes) 2 are super nutritious 3 are 100% safe for people with diabetes 4 even better: can improve your husbands blood sugar 5 you can eat as much of as you want For example: - all kinds of beans (I personally love lima beans instead of mashed potatoes-they’re creamy, nutritious and flavorful) - lentils, chickpeas - parsnips - celeriac etc. etc. You're making things unnecessarily difficult by clinging to the old, unhealthy eating habits. When you let them go and replace them with fresh, healthy ones-you'll never have to worry if what you're eating is good or bad. Because you just know it's healthy. You don't have to hold back in quantity. All this, while your husbands blood sugar might improve (drastically). Hope this helps!

My pleasure ❤️🙏

If you choose the right ones and eat them in moderation, you can still eat bread ❤️

Fortunately, it's way more nuanced than you are claiming

Stevia is okay :) I assume you checked the ingredient list to be sure it is indeed 100% stevia (because many times it's not)

Let's not exaggerate. There are "bad" carbs (the fast ones in products which contain basically 0 nutritional value to your body) but there are lots of good carbs too; to be found in vegetables, fiber rich fruits, nuts, beans etc

@illnessfreelife Carnivore here! 20g Carbs a day is already not required. Read Dr Westman.

I'm aware and it's true, for some people it can definitely work. Most people find it too restrictive. And fortunately carnivore is not the only way to live without diabetes. But indeed, it is a way :)

@illnessfreelife It is very difficult yes. It saved my life though.

Not everything is a conspiracy for money. Sour dough differs a lot from bread to bread. And thus also the nutritional values of them. We don't recommend products if the nutritional values of them can differ a lot from brand to brand, country to country etc.

​@@illnessfreelifeas does bread in general

​@@DarrenJones042 Therefore the 4 categories. As a rule of thumb: if it's not pure white bread nor whole wheat or low carb, then most likely category 2, see at 8:20

Thanks a lot! We have a healthy recipe here on our website: www.illnessfreelife.com/low-carb-bread-recipe/

Low carb bread I only buy after it's been marked down in price no one seems to want to purchase it , unlike the doughnut,juice, & fancy icecream shops around the mall who do a roaring trade - chia seed is my bread alternative , plus a handful of berries and walnuts tis fine.

Bit extreem, but possible.

Congrats, best advice ...

BS. potatoes are full of minerals and iron and potassium especially, and even protein, which is easily assimilated. white rice is garbage, pasta can be made from beans which is great. Don't demonize potatoes.

​@illnessfreelife Actually quite easy once you get used to it. Less bloating, less inflammation in the body.

Fresh squeezed orange is unhealthy. It's still juice without dietary fibers. What do you want to do with the barley? Eat it? Make a drink from it?

That is true. But the fermentation has already happened during the rising/resting of the bread.

Splendid, keep on going 🌟

Yes frozen sourdough bread, then toasted is ok

I afraid that is B S. Get a CGM and watch what happens.

Everyone is different and the only way to tell if this works for you if to test your blood glucose before and again 2 hours later. I can’t eat any bread frozen or not

@@barbsdee3831pretty much anyone who is pre diabetic or diabetic will get spike from bread. And freezing it or potatoes makes very little difference.

Majority of sour breads fall under the second category 8:20

I know people with flat stomachs that eat bread. I know people with large bellies that don't eat bread. You are seeing what you want to see I think. People who tend to eat lots of unhealthy bread, tend to also do other unhealthy things. The problem isn't 'bread' alone but all the 'unhealthy' choices they make.

Thank you!

You are welcome!

You can eat healthy with low income. But you will be eating mostly the same thing over and over again. It's not impossible, but it is harder.

I'm pretty sure this isn't true. Otherwise, companies could just label white pasta, cookies and cakes as 'whole grain'. But they don't. And if this is true, it would depend on what country you live in. You couldn't get away with this in any European country.

My understanding of that issue is that if it says "whole grain" it may in fact only contain a small portion of whole grain and be largely processed flour. However, if it states "100% whole grain" then by FDA regulations it must contain only whole grain or be 100% whole grain. It is all in the wording and they get slick with their labeling. So read it carefully.

Yes, all they do is throw the husk back in. The metabolic effects are pretty much the same as not having it there in the first place.

You are welcome!

Good question. It really depends on the nutritional values of the specific bread. If you have a link for me, I'll gladly look at it for you.

@@illnessfreelife I was thinking of homemade sourdough, as we make our own from our own sourdough starter. It has flour but no added sugar as sourdough doesnt need it.

@@illnessfreelife There is absolutely no nutritional value in ANY breads and it is very fattening.

@@timshumate5715 make it even better by using good flour not commercial wheat flour, and add seeds and nuts for fiber and protein.

In India the original main stream wholemeal consumption is Roti wholemal and purely ground at homes without any additives-not like mass produced breads with bad oils and toxic substances in safe doses in the western world. Mass produced atta or flour may have additives as well-who knows. In India the main grain is Amarnath, buckwheat, Jowar, Millet and other strangely named grains unavailable in the west. Punjabi food is Naan which is white flour and a special diet not usually eaten daily. Since Indians have got into the western diet-DIabetes is on the rise. Sad fact.

@@girsharma2076 Thanks for sharing this. I did not know that.

You are welcome ❤️

You are welcome ❤️

Not all brands are good. A lot lack fiber unfortunately. But in general, small amounts in yoghurt (for example) should be OK if the rest of your diet is OK.

@ your right . I was eating an entire bowl filled with oatmeal

@@thanosave7112 Yeah, that might be a bit too much :). Too much of a good thing, can turn in to a bad thing.

Blood sugar doesn't just spike from glucose. I'm afraid you are looking at it too black and white.

@illnessfreelife glucose is the main cause even if it doesn't spike from only glucose, I've been living with it for 5yrs and have tried everything. Once you are diabetic you must have spikes no matter what you eat. Yes with the proper diet you can control it but even when I was on a diet program I still had heavy spikes.

You can use that as much as you want ❤️. Just don't use sugar etc.

They do work for sure. But they are too restrictive for lots of people. And this hard to maintain in the long run.

No, because juice doesn't contain dietary fibers. That makes it very unhealthy. But fruits do contain dietary fibers. We will release a video about this soon.

Moreover packaged fruit juices usually contain a lot of sugar.Better eat fruits like apple,guava,orange etc.

Fortunately it's not as black and white as you claim ❤️

Well said ❤️

100 grams carbs from cake are not the same as 100 grams of carbs from broccoli. Yes, even tough 100 gram is 100 gram... the effect of the products on the body are entirely different. Mainly due to the healthy dietary fiber's broccoli contains. Of the lack of them in cake. Quality beats quantity every time. Where did I say that saturated fats are unhealthy? We always say that people should eat MORE of them.

I'm definitely not advocating 100 grams of carbs from cake alone😂😂😂😂 At least not every day

But your tip to gradually introduce each tip gradually one by one is good👍
