I do not need to lose weight, and I don't need physical therapy. I just can not get ENOUGH of Bob and Brad's authenticity, professionalism, and humorous delivery. Cheers Bob and Brad and all of your team, thank you for making me laugh and for teaching me things I didn't know.
I’m crushing on them 😍😍😍 up every morning at 6am listening to these guys … After watching: Not the broken heart emoji 🤣 we can fix it together guys! 😍 good day everyone watching.
Went carb free and never looked back. I’m no longer diabetic type 2. Headaches were horrific for three days. Massive weight loss after menopause is possible ladies.
@@wendyhannan2454 Processed carbohydrates and added sugars are both bad for you. Unarguably. Unprocessed carbohydrates are great for you though. Vegetables. Fruits. Whole grains. Legumes. All correlated with slimmer waists and healthier lives
I am a 69 year old female. I am very arthritic. I walk a lot and was touching my toes after my walk to stretch my muscles. I watched your video saying not to do this. AMAZING! I was finding my lower back hurt so bad a night I could hardly roll over and it was so bad in the morning I would have to get up to relieve the pain. I stopped touching my toes and have had no more issues since. Thank you SO much for your advice.
I lost around 40lbs after going into the hospital in October 2020, I had extremely high blood pressure and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So I basically cut out grains and sugar, and if I did eat some it was all about portion control. By about the end of February 2021 I lost 40lbs. My weight has basically stabilized since then. I went to put on a coat a couple of weeks ago when the weather turned cold, and all my coats fit me like tents -- I had to go buy a new coat for this winter. Anyhow Bob and Brad are right about what they are saying here. BTW my last 2 diabetes doctor's visits my blood sugar is back in the normal range.
@@andredarin8966 I have been to my diabetes Dr twice now and they tested my A1C and he told me that I'm at the normal range (not even pre-diabetic now). I go back for my 3rd appointment in February.
I moved from a psych/theatre major to a physical therapist/theatre major at university. I also became extremely apathetic during COVID & gained an ungodly amount of weight. I love Bob & Brad!!! They keep me sane & now, in check. ❤️❤️❤️
So I tried this. Today is the last day of the 5th week. I went from 181 Lbs to 170.6 Lbs. YEA! I never really paid attention to the carbs content before. Your video was revealing. I exercised routinely but could not drop weight. I was like what the heck? Why am I not loosing weight? So the reality of carb reduction does work. Also, along with that I exercise moderately. Stretching, a little dumbbell workout, and I average about 4 miles per day walking and a little jogging too. I am 61 year old Male. So hopefully this will encourage someone to do it.
@@lonnettedouglas5688 there are many keto bread recipes on line and many stores are now carrying Keto bread. I do recommend you reading ingredient labels to make sure they are truly keto. A lot of products are calling themselves keto but are not and of course butter is always okay! Good luck
Banza pasta is made from chickpeas and I did the math on their rotini and it came out to 4. It’s available at Walmart. It has a different texture than traditional pasta but not as labor intensive as zoodles.
I love you guys. Since lockdown started (in Scotland) so far you've managed to help me to: identify then fix the pinched nerve in my shoulder; sort my posture which has got rid of other back pain I was experiencing for years; you've encouraged me to enjoy exercising regularly and now there's this really sound nutritional advice which will help me, my husband and kids. Also, as a result of all this I'm even sleeping better (chronic insomniac the whole of my life). You also cheer me up, whatever else is going on. Congrats on your weight loss and thank you ever so much for the work you do.
@@royaltee8676 They have several on shoulder pain, but start with the one titled “What is causing your shoulder pain? Tests you can do yourself.” The TH-cam algorithm will then bring all their shoulder videos to the surface for you.
Started this program in March and as of today I’ve lost 27 pounds. My lab work is better, also. Typically I keep carbs below 100 grams and fiber above 30 grams. No more white bread, very little pasta, and a drastic reduction in any sugared beverage. I also primarily use Truvia for my ice tea and have eggs and bacon at least five times a week. No cholesterol problems and improving HA1C. Amazing.
Yes!!! I did the same but because I joined a weight loss group at work & had heard so much info about cutting carbs + I also KNEW I had to cut sugars 🙄 😬 cuz I have a HUGE sweet tooth 🤦🏻♀️ & OMG 😱🤯🤯 it worked!!!! My 1st 5lbs that I lost, I don't think counted cuz I had a molar extracted & that kept me from eating comfortably but I kept up with lowering my carbs, increasing fiber + protein and lost and additional 10lbs!!! My starting weight was 200lbs and the last time I weighed myself, I was at 186 🙌❤️... I started late Feb2022 & that last weigh in was April 3, 2022 & the only "exercise" I did was "fast walking" that I did at my custodial job 😅
Watching this video made me so so happy! I am a student physical therapist who lost about 30 pounds when I switched to eating mostly plant based. Currently, I am working with a fellow Occupational Therapy student in Tulsa, OK. We teaching classes that we have created about plant based eating to people with physical disabilities. They have loved it so far and it has really opened a conversation about why it's so easy to eat unhealthy. Thank you for spreading the word! I'm a big fan!
I ate mostly plant based- following Greger's advice a lot- for 18 months and my blood glucose rose nearly into the prediabetic range. I wasn't trying to lose weight but gained fat according to professional body fat measure.My usual serving of chickpeas too me almost into the diabetic range. Had to back off and reintroduce animal foods. Much. harder than losing 40 lbs. years ago by eating sweets, seconds, and snacks on weekends only.
You guys helped me recover from my stroke. I did your videotaped exercises in addition to my physical therapy visits. Both of you look great! Congrats on your weight loss!
This makes sense to me. It also shows where/why I've been struggling. Carbs divided by fiber, how simple. I'm going to try this. Thank you for the information.
Amazing! My husband and I just started this, and between us we lost ten lbs last month!!! It may not seem like a big deal to some, but to us it is tremendous! This is the first nutrition program that he has ever followed, or felt it made sense. This is important as HE insists upon doing the coking,-and it's so much easier when you're both on the same food plan. I notice the grocery stores are stocking foods they didn't have six months ago, with high fiber, low carbs and the nutrition information plainly visible. After a week or two of mathematical ups and lows it becomes second nature. I just want to thank you two, we're onto something here!
@@coffeeandasewingmachine I'm sure they're making more money with their own channel than they'd ever make with NPR. Not worth the hassle, the loss of creative freedom, the politics, or the pay cut.
I have said it before but it bears repeating. My nephew Fully-credentialed physical therapist recommended you guys when the PT’s “helping” me post-pelvic fracture were lousy. You explained things, motivated me and I recovered full mobility very soon! PS I am just telling the truth here, not meaning to cast aspersions on any of the fine PT’s out there!
Mine too. He showed quickly how to do stretches one time then after that it was just heat and massage then off to the next patient. He got paid how much for that?!
Oh my goodness!! I just checked my favorite organic whole grain rice cakes, figuring they must have an ideal 5:1 ratio. ACK!! 1 cake is only 70 calories BUT the total carbs are 16g and fiber 1g, so that means a score of 16?!? No-o-o-o-o!!! Thank you for this information, Bob & Brad!
You can't help but love Bob and Brad. I hope they leave their channel up after they retire. I have referred back to them for many things over the years as issues arise. Their advice on torn rotator cuffs and exercises saved me from surgery and I healed up beautifully.
Bob, you and Brad have "been there" as I journey through diagnosis of polyarthritis, decreasing ROM and increasing pain. Wish you could know what a bright spot your videos have been and so helpful to educating myself, even while working with my amazingly wonderful PTs. Saying big prayers for you!
You guys are better than Frick and Frack… And I think I’m doing a lot better at fixing my body than I ever was fixing my car! Keep on keeping on… Watching you both as like receiving a pot of gold daily! And you’re both hilarious together too! I highly recommend this kind of physical therapy… If you’re not getting up and doing what they tell you to do, you are laughing so hard you’re creating an ab workout!
I cut way down on the carbs too and always try to have fruit (usually berries) with breakfast and a vegetable or a salad with lunch and dinner and I lost 50 lbs. It took YEARS for me to figure this out - that it's all about the carbs (for me anyway) to just reduce them and the weight comes off. And add more fiber, like they said. I had also adopted a little shelter dog and so the walking of the dog every day added to the weight loss too.
That is great adopting a shelter dog and both of u supporting each other along. A home means so much to our dogs and cats. They give and need love too, being part of a household or family. 🙂🙂🙂
We all need to remember that our bodies are so different. My endocrinologist had me match 1 gram complex carb to one gram protein in order to reduce my hypoglycemic crashes. I also lost 70 pounds.
Correct but your goal was to manage your hypoglycemic episodes, sounds like. For people not experiencing those, they could certainly cut down on all the junky carbs of which there are plenty in our diets, in general. I, too, get rebound postprandial hypoglycemia if, say, I have only a bagel for breakfast - I pay for it three hours later! Now a bagel with some eggs ( protein ) - fine. So it does depend on our goals AND current health issues ! I’m betting most people are just simply looking to lose excess weight. Most are not going to endocrinologists. Wishing you good health!
@@B3l0v3d05 Hi, I pretty much don't buy any processed foods anymore. It was a huge change. So, I have to weigh my serving of complex carb and read the chart to know the grams so that I can equal it out to my protein grams. My food scale has become my best friend in the kitchen. However, if I was looking at a label on yogurt for instance: my Chobani says 11 g protein and 16 g carbs. It is almost 1:1 so it is a safe choice for me. If it was 3:1 then I am setting my self up for a spike then a crash.
Every time I’ve had an issue with pain - sciatica, hips, shoulder, neck, rotator cuff…(I’m 60 still working full time and raising my granddaughter, have horses, so injuries happen on the regular at this point) I come to Brad & Bobs You Tube channel and whatever they teach to correct the issue works. So far 100% of the time. So I will take their solid advice and get my 20 extra covid pounds off!! Thank you guys!! I tell everyone I know about your channel. Your channel is a huge blessing for me and keeps me going strong every day.
Makes a lot of sense. I’ve found when I have a diet focused on fiber intake I feel better and lose weight, though never thought about using this 5:1 ratio as a benchmark for making good choices.
Love watching you guys! Your easy-going, upbeat friendship is a pleasure to see-and you provide some very interesting/helpful information to boot! Thanks :-)
Great explanation and user friendly of the 5 to 1 Rule. Keep the information and knowledge coming in this complex and frustrating area of losing weight.
I’m going to try this! I injured my rotator cuff badly, and followed the videos you guys posted on it, particularly the sleeping position and it healed without surgery! Thank you so much!
1 reason so many people give their kids cheerios goes back probably about 50 yrs or so. the thing that made them popular for parents to give small children was docs suggesting them because of the hole in the middle preventing a small child getting their windpipe covered/preventing choking, because if they accidently swallowed it whole, the hole in the middle still made it possible for the child to breathe. nowadays, you will often find other snacks made for small children (in the baby/toddler section) made in the same shape as cheerios for this reason.
Staying away from 80 to 90 percent of packaged and processed foods has helped me the most. Most packaged foods contain too much sugar and too much salt. Getting reduced or even no salt products also really great.
Thanks guys, for always being the reasonable and sensible people you are. Understanding a plant based diet is a healthy option even if it’s a few days a week. And cutting out carbs, without going Paleo 🙃 is so great!
I can't thank you guys enough for this video. I've never heard of the 5:1 rule until now. I'm basically a flexitarian but have really done badly with the carbs and sweets since the pandemic. I gained weight and want to get it together for my health and weight. Btw, it's numerator over denominator. 😃
@@stargazer2042 Um, that's not low carb in the usual sense. Low carb usually means you take carbs, ignore the ratio, and replace them with unhealthy things like excess meats and oils.
I too gained weight over these past 2 years. I’m cutting out sugar, bread, juices, cakes, bagels. It sure is hard to lose weight though. Bob and Brad really helped me with physio so I’m back to light weight training and walking again.. I’m wondering if it’s my age that’s making losing weight difficult
@@AP-nx6xo Check out the anti-aging interviews at Modern Healthspan and then check out the video "How not to diet" by Michael Greger. If you just want the top few tips, 1) Get high intensity exercise as often as you can, 2) Eat as many low-calorie, high nutrition foods as you can (the best source of nutrition is plants), 3) For the high calorie foods you do eat, move them earlier in the day. 4) If you do cheat, have plans in place before-hand to turn a large cheat into a small cheat. 5) Maintain your mental health and optimism. Costs don't matter if you are not able to carry self-pride and optimism. The two sources at the top will help you find ways to increase your metabolism (although HIIT is a big one) so you can focus more on nutrients and less on calories, but until you get that stuff in place you have to focus on both. For 2) the first step is to get rid of liquid calories and for 1) note that a gym class will help you push yourself beyond previous limits. I have made far more progress with Zumba than I ever would have coming in and visiting the machines for a few minutes until I got bored.
During this covid time I started baking breads, OMG! They were so good! I put on almost 20 lbs. I went to my dr. And he said loose 10 lbs. in 3 months I lost 15lbs, by cutting back on carbs!
Totally true. I'm down 55 pounds in 14 months, and still losing weight slowly. I cut out non-fruit carbs almost entirely and I eat only two meals a day with no snacks except fruit (OK, sometimes a Kind nut bar....). I don't count calories or carb grams because that's too neurotic for me. I just avoid all white foods and sugar -- bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereal, pastries, desserts, candy, and sweetened drinks except for honey in my morning coffee. I eat tons of meat, eggs, whole fat dairy, fresh fruit, greens, vegetables and nuts. I also walk 2-3 hours most days. And yeah, my blood chemistry is back to teenager status. It's changed my life.
Popcorn with salt and butter is great. I had it for dinner every day for 3 weeks (depressed, and it was all I wanted) and lost 10 pounds, eating normally for other meals. Although when I think about, 3 weeks away from a hostile workplace helped too!
@ Chicken Tender. Thank you for that addition at the end. Stress, whether from workplace or other multiple sources in the last year and a half, is my biggest hurdle.
@@ljones98391 It's really diificult dealing with stress, especially from workplace jerks. I compensated by gaining over 30 pounds. Lost some but still have to watch myself. Now I just think those people mean less than nothing to me and enough practice with that means I forget about them after a little while. Hope you find a way to take good care of yourself.
I went through a huge popcorn phase with the extra butter and everything, not a good diet choice for me, if I had to mush other stuff by the end of the day
Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I am finally having succes with this 5 to 1 rule after a decade of struggling. The weight is melting off. I have shared it with so many others too. God bless 🙏 you!
Love you guys! You are so helpful! Dr Greger is amazing and plant based eating is the way to go! Can you talk more about what you have been eating on the plant based diet?
Hi guys! I recently got plunged into the fitness trainer postion at my gym. Most of our memembers our above 55. Your videos have been so helpful. Thanks so much!
I have had massive inflammatory issues from 3 or 4 years old , 48 now and these guys have helped me find exercises, besides swimming , that I am 100% able to do . Their delivery and banter kept me coming back . Love these guys !
Thank you Bob and Brad for showing me the right way to take better care of myself physically! You always make me smile everytime I watch you everyday! Thank God for you guys!!!
They're caring, helpful, thoughtful, sincere AND funny on occasion. What else could you want? Thanks for the hip flexor tip, guys! My hip had been hurting me for a couple of months and my chiro always adjusted my low back, a problem area but not my hip problem. Again, thanks❣👌😊
Has anyone asked yet?? I have always LOVED the 'Bob And Brad' Theme Song! Who in the world composed the song? Who is singing? It really grows on you.......
This is great! I just discovered you two and I'm so glad I did. I just wanted to "approve this message." I also follow Dr. Greger amongst other reliable doctors (both MD and PhD) dieticians in the plant-based community. A whole-food plant-based diet is so healthy and checks all the boxes for preventing the chronic diseases that plague the developed world. Also helps you stay full and lose weight. Now on to more of your P.T. videos. Thanks Bob & Brad!
This vid just happened to be in my recommended but i absolutely adore these guys they’re so wholesome and hilarious. I knew it was gonna be iconic from the intro
There are low carb potatoes, at least in Australia. It depends on the type of potato. There are many varieties and the Kestrel is one of the lower carb ones. I'm a diabetic and the standard potato in any form shoots my glucose up but with the low carb ones if I have a dinner of meat, green veg and potato I have to watch that my glucose doesn't end up too low.
this is absolutely wild.... I checked the label of my favorite brown rice product and got a value of 19! I'm not so interested in weight loss as I am about fibre intake...definitely an eye opener!
Dr. Greger is the best on the planet at explaining health vs. foods. His channel is the best, These 2 studs are the best at helping with pain as well:)
Ok so you talk about all the things you shouldn’t eat, so what DO you eat? You say you’re not hungry, you feel full. What are you eating every day that replaces the bread, toast, waffles, French Toast, pancakes and those types of yummy breakfast foods as well as other meals?? Thank you!
I've lost several pounds the past few weeks. I've adjusted my diet a little bit, mainly trying to cut down on carbs and sugar. I mostly have cut out sugary drinks. No sodas, or energy drinks, no juice unless it's low sugar. It's worked quite well!
A neat trick for juices. Grape juice, as a prime example, has lots of really healthy polyphenols, but it has *way* too many calories. What you can do is mix about 3 parts unsweetened tea, 2 parts jaimaica, and 1 part grape juice, and you benefit from the polyphenols while not o-d'ing on the sugar. Think of fruit juice as a "natural sweetener" rather than a "drink".
The sad thing about some PTs, is that they work for an organization that dictates how much time they can spend with each patient... the ones I went to had that problem too, but they worked with the limitations of the system; they gave me handouts of everything we did, so I could remember how to do them at home, and they even gave me stretch exercise bands, and showed me how to make some of my own exercise tools, too. They were very interested in keeping me progressing forward... I think some of them get discouraged and have a hard time...I'm so impressed with Bob and Brad... It's like having live reminders of my own PTs, right in my room with me! The best ever!
I had thyroid cancer and gained over 200lbs. For the past ten years I have been slowly losing. Lost about 100lbs over a ten year span. I consider that a success because I do not have a thyroid and that alone makes weight management difficult. Atleast I stopped gaining. I recently found out I have brittle diabetes. I saw this video about the 5 to 1 rule. I have been doing this diet plan for 3 and half months and have lost about 20lbs! And it was really difficult giving up my sonic lunches with their 700 calorie milkshakes, but I did it! I researched food labels and made a list of brands names and items that were 5 to 1 ratio and I stocked up on chia seeds because they are packed with fiber and if I throw a few table spoons of chia seeds in I can have potatoes and rice occasionally. I think my blood sugar is more balance because of the weight loss and eliminating sugar and breads. Your video has given me hope. This was something I found easier to follow than anything else dietitians ever told me. I love black olives, 1 carb per serving! And chili is good it is very low carb. Thank you so much for your very helpful videos! I get a1C checked in a week, so I will find out how successful I am with this. I look in the mirror and can see I look more and more like I used to before cancer. Oh and not sure why but all the fluid on my face and hands and ankles is gone too! Again thank you so much!
I snack on popcorn often. Snappy Pop white (amazon) is the BEST! I season with no-sodium Mural of Flavor (Penzey's) and Nutritional yeast. Sometimes, I add a bit of Cayenne. It is a great snack.
I’m a Registered Dietitian and I tell my patients to go on a low STARCH, low SUGAR diet. Just like you are saying. I also tell them to measure their portions. Use those calculations on 1/2 cup servings.
Yes! The only thing I measure is the 'carb' foods, like grains and corn. I use a measuring scoop from the dollar store. Never eat more than a cup...that's 2 servings. i don't count carbs from non-starchy veggies.
Ann, yes! 1/2 cup portions. I lost 30 lbs. I used those little 1/2 cup pyrex bowls and put in nuts, veggies, yogurt, meats, fruit. Ate one bowl an hour, it's really hard to do at first, for me at least. And moved. Portion control is half the battle. No fake food the other.
@@joyfaith1711 How many people are going to cut ALL starch and sugar? Especially cold-turkey? Don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. And, while “low” is relative, there’s nothing that says low can’t be defined by the dietician. (It should be.)
I love, 💕, love you guys! Cheerios have tested the highest in gly-pho-sate residue, which absolutely destroys the gut. Ask mine. Chemo, Radio, 4 surgeries, (two were emergency). Organic, when possible and little to no grains. It CAN be done. You two are a treasure!
Anything processed middle aisles is a nooo! Glyphosate is in everything I try to buy non GMO TOO. Intermittent fasting is our life saving way of life. Stay away from vegetable oils highly inflammatory and toxic! Almost 70 years young the best I have ever felt since my 30’s!
@@seekingserenity1902 Kashi Go cereals. Original, Crunch, Toasted Berry Crisp, Honey Almond Flax, Cinnamon Crisp. Even their Chocolate Crunch (32/6) or Peanut Butter Crunch (31/6) is close. You can also add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal to improve the ratio. Edit: Nature's Path Organic Heritage Flakes, sold in supermarkets and Trader Joe's, is 37/7 carbs to fiber, where you can hit the ratio with the ground flaxseed. Same with Cascadian Farm Hearty Morning Fiber, 51/10. I'll keep editing this whenever I find more and remember to. 🙂
Try nutritional yeast sprinkled on popcorn. I spritz it with olive oil using my Mister and then sprinkle with nutritional yeast which tastes cheesy, is low sodium and loaded with B vitamins.
I live in Europe and nutritional yeast here shows no B-vitamins in the nutrition info. Depends on the brand, but I think you'll find the B-vitamins are added supplements and not naturally occurring.
This is something I've never heard of before. Being partially disabled (bad knees) and being an office rat, this information could help in choosing better meal options and help with weight control and loss. I'm going to give this a try, along with some of the office exercises from your other videos. Thanks!!
I thought the same thing: panicky because I lost weight so fast! I started South Beach’s low glycemic diet (even starting at stage 2 instead of stage 1) and the weight just fell off! We were out-of-town for 2 months, so I did not have clothes available as I went from Size 14 slacks to Size 10! Even went down to Size 8 by the end, but now in Size 10 and have stayed right there 👍......less bread and carbs and just eat more Vegs than meat.
I absolutely loved this video! I would love more of what to eat (good examples) and meal ideas! My daughter is getting married at the end of May and I would LOVE to lose some weight! This was great info! Thank you!
I’ve lost 37 pounds so far since June. I eat whatever but only 1200 calories a day. No deviation. I wasn’t worried about nutrition at first, I just wanted to get back in the healthy range. Now I can start to focus on nutrition.
I’ve been doing keto for a very long time, don’t know how many years. I have not lost an ounce, but I am pretty close to an ideal weight. I just use it to keep down seizures.
These guys crack me up. I’m glad to read and hear about the success stories. I personally would never do the method in this video though. I “net” the carbs from the dietary fiber for a carbs intake total. But I don’t even do that anymore. I eat about 100 carbs a day and if you’re really serious about losing weight, I recommend intermittent fasting. I’ve lost 62 lbs in 3.5 months with fasting and daily exercising. For the first time in over 20 years I’m in a size 32 jeans and am 5 lbs away from a BMI reading of normal weight as opposed to overweight and originally obese.
I can confirm that any effort to lower carb intake works. I also just eliminated bread, potatoes, on a regular basis, though I still do have some carbs, just very small portions, so I'm not keto. The main thing lowering carbs does for me is keep me from getting hungry. I can now go from supper to breakfast with no snacking, and I'm not hungry. Last night I ate a piece of garlic bread for dinner. Woke up at 3 AM ravenously hungry.
Been trying to add more fiber to my diet for better digestion and weight loss. This is so helpful. Now I understand how to get the full benefits of fiber into my diet without eating to much sugar. Thank you😊
Thank you both for a fun and informative video. I always read labels before purchasing food, but never heard of this simple calculation before and it's a game-changer. I'll never look at label without doing the division :) Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this way to critically analyze the carbs I eat. I have been changing out the high carbs for low carbs (I don't eat tons of carbs anyway). The result is that my AIC has gone from 6.0 to 5.6. I was heading into the pre-diabetic range. Thank you so much for an easy way to eat better.
I do not need to lose weight, and I don't need physical therapy. I just can not get ENOUGH of Bob and Brad's authenticity, professionalism, and humorous delivery. Cheers Bob and Brad and all of your team, thank you for making me laugh and for teaching me things I didn't know.

Since lockdown started (in Scotland) so far you've managed to help me to: identify then fix the pinched nerve in my shoulder; sort my posture which has got rid of other back pain I was experiencing for years; you've encouraged me to enjoy exercising regularly and now there's this really sound nutritional advice which will help me, my husband and kids. Also, as a result of all this I'm even sleeping better (chronic insomniac the whole of my life). You also cheer me up, whatever else is going on. Congrats on your weight loss and thank you ever so much for the work you do.
Which video addressed the pinched nerve in your shoulder. Mine hurt like the dickens!
@@royaltee8676 They have several on shoulder pain, but start with the one titled “What is causing your shoulder pain? Tests you can do yourself.” The TH-cam algorithm will then bring all their shoulder videos to the surface for you.
@@christygarcia4843 thanks
Which video helped you with the pinched nerve in your shoulder, thanks!

I love these guys!!!! They make “square” so attractive and accessible. Love these guys…
Started this program in March and as of today I’ve lost 27 pounds. My lab work is better, also. Typically I keep carbs below 100 grams and fiber above 30 grams. No more white bread, very little pasta, and a drastic reduction in any sugared beverage. I also primarily use Truvia for my ice tea and have eggs and bacon at least five times a week. No cholesterol problems and improving HA1C.
Amazing.
Yes!!! I did the same but because I joined a weight loss group at work & had heard so much info about cutting carbs + I also KNEW I had to cut sugars 🙄 😬 cuz I have a HUGE sweet tooth 🤦🏻♀️ & OMG 😱🤯🤯 it worked!!!!
My 1st 5lbs that I lost, I don't think counted cuz I had a molar extracted & that kept me from eating comfortably but I kept up with lowering my carbs, increasing fiber + protein and lost and additional 10lbs!!! My starting weight was 200lbs and the last time I weighed myself, I was at 186 🙌❤️... I started late Feb2022 & that last weigh in was April 3, 2022 & the only "exercise" I did was "fast walking" that I did at my custodial job 😅
Watching this video made me so so happy! I am a student physical therapist who lost about 30 pounds when I switched to eating mostly plant based. Currently, I am working with a fellow Occupational Therapy student in Tulsa, OK. We teaching classes that we have created about plant based eating to people with physical disabilities. They have loved it so far and it has really opened a conversation about why it's so easy to eat unhealthy.
Thank you for spreading the word! I'm a big fan!
Love your fun and factual videos! Fan for life!
I ate mostly plant based- following Greger's advice a lot- for 18 months and my blood glucose rose nearly into the prediabetic range. I wasn't trying to lose weight but gained fat according to professional body fat measure.My usual serving of chickpeas too me almost into the diabetic range. Had to back off and reintroduce animal foods. Much. harder than losing 40 lbs. years ago by eating sweets, seconds, and snacks on weekends only.
Why do I love watching these guys? They’re great
You guys helped me recover from my stroke. I did your videotaped exercises in addition to my physical therapy visits.
Both of you look great! Congrats on your weight loss!
That takes discipline! Thanks for sharing! I am glad you have restored joy of movement!
k8eekatt Thanks!
@@k8eekatt Joy of movement.....I like that phrase!
Well done D Young! I agree that these guys are wonderful...
And they are so fun!
These guys are funny. They’re so uncool they become cool. They’ve bent space time back on itself. Lol.
Luv you guys, you are so real! Stay healthy!
They're cool cuz they don't change themselves to appease the masses.
How we all should be.
We love these guys because they care :)
They’re such a pair of dads. New balance runners, Fanny packs and dad jokes I’m sure lol
I was singing the intro last night at dinner. The. Included the world's most famous, that's just our opinion bon
This makes sense to me. It also shows where/why I've been struggling. Carbs divided by fiber, how simple. I'm going to try this. Thank you for the information.
I thought you subtracted the fiber from the carbohydrates to get the number of net carbs.
@@Europa1749 That is correct. That is how Keto does it.
Amazing! My husband and I just started this, and between us we lost ten lbs last month!!! It may not seem like a big deal to some, but to us it is tremendous! This is the first nutrition program that he has ever followed, or felt it made sense. This is important as HE insists upon doing the coking,-and it's so much easier when you're both on the same food plan. I notice the grocery stores are stocking foods they didn't have six months ago, with high fiber, low carbs and the nutrition information plainly visible. After a week or two of mathematical ups and lows it becomes second nature. I just want to thank you two, we're onto something here!
I forgot why I started watching. these two are fun. reminds me of the Car Talk brothers.
Yeah, now that you mention it! LOL
Loved car talk guys!
When I started watching them when they were a new channel I made the same comment. 😂 They are the Car Talk of back pain.
@@coffeeandasewingmachine I'm sure they're making more money with their own channel than they'd ever make with NPR. Not worth the hassle, the loss of creative freedom, the politics, or the pay cut.
Reminds me of Rocky and Bullwinkle!!!!!!
Bob and Brad my favorite medical support folks on the internet (-:
I have said it before but it bears repeating. My nephew Fully-credentialed physical therapist recommended you guys when the PT’s “helping” me post-pelvic fracture were lousy. You explained things, motivated me and I recovered full mobility very soon! PS I am just telling the truth here, not meaning to cast aspersions on any of the fine PT’s out there!
Me too
Mine too. He showed quickly how to do stretches one time then after that it was just heat and massage then off to the next patient. He got paid how much for that?!
Food for Life Ezekiel 4:9 per slice Total Carbohydrates: 15 Dietary Fiber: 3 15/3 = 5
Oh my goodness!! I just checked my favorite organic whole grain rice cakes, figuring they must have an ideal 5:1 ratio. ACK!! 1 cake is only 70 calories BUT the total carbs are 16g and fiber 1g, so that means a score of 16?!? No-o-o-o-o!!! Thank you for this information, Bob & Brad!
Even brown rice-usually considered to be healthier-has a very poor ratio. Pretty much the 16/1 that you note.
Oh, my. Thanks for this valuable information. I’ve been eating rice cakes due to gluten sensitivity.
One the easiest definition to check labelling; you both look and are wonderful!
You can't help but love Bob and Brad. I hope they leave their channel up after they retire. I have referred back to them for many things over the years as issues arise. Their advice on torn rotator cuffs and exercises saved me from surgery and I healed up beautifully.
Bob, you and Brad have "been there" as I journey through diagnosis of polyarthritis, decreasing ROM and increasing pain. Wish you could know what a bright spot your videos have been and so helpful to educating myself, even while working with my amazingly wonderful PTs. Saying big prayers for you!
You guys are better than Frick and Frack… And I think I’m doing a lot better at fixing my body than I ever was fixing my car! Keep on keeping on… Watching you both as like receiving a pot of gold daily! And you’re both hilarious together too! I highly recommend this kind of physical therapy… If you’re not getting up and doing what they tell you to do, you are laughing so hard you’re creating an ab workout!
That's it, I was thinking of the car guys!!!
Numerator on top, denominator on the bottom, down-denominator. 🤗

I cut way down on the carbs too and always try to have fruit (usually berries) with breakfast and a vegetable or a salad with lunch and dinner and I lost 50 lbs. It took YEARS for me to figure this out - that it's all about the carbs (for me anyway) to just reduce them and the weight comes off. And add more fiber, like they said. I had also adopted a little shelter dog and so the walking of the dog every day added to the weight loss too.
That is great adopting a shelter dog and both of u supporting each other along. A home means so much to our dogs and cats. They give and need love too, being part of a household or family. 🙂🙂🙂
We all need to remember that our bodies are so different. My endocrinologist had me match 1 gram complex carb to one gram protein in order to reduce my hypoglycemic crashes. I also lost 70 pounds.
Correct but your goal was to manage your hypoglycemic episodes, sounds like.
For people not experiencing those, they could certainly cut down on all the junky carbs of which there are plenty in our diets, in general.
I, too, get rebound postprandial hypoglycemia if, say, I have only a bagel for breakfast - I pay for it three hours later! Now a bagel with some eggs ( protein ) - fine.
So it does depend on our goals AND current health issues !
I’m betting most people are just simply looking to lose excess weight.
Most are not going to endocrinologists. Wishing you good health!
Can you give an example of 1 to 1 when looking at a nutrition label? My main issue is hypoglycemia also
@@B3l0v3d05 Hi, I pretty much don't buy any processed foods anymore. It was a huge change. So, I have to weigh my serving of complex carb and read the chart to know the grams so that I can equal it out to my protein grams. My food scale has become my best friend in the kitchen. However, if I was looking at a label on yogurt for instance: my Chobani says 11 g protein and 16 g carbs. It is almost 1:1 so it is a safe choice for me. If it was 3:1 then I am setting my self up for a spike then a crash.
Every time I’ve had an issue with pain - sciatica, hips, shoulder, neck, rotator cuff…(I’m 60 still working full time and raising my granddaughter, have horses, so injuries happen on the regular at this point) I come to Brad & Bobs You Tube channel and whatever they teach to correct the issue works. So far 100% of the time. So I will take their solid advice and get my 20 extra covid pounds off!! Thank you guys!! I tell everyone I know about your channel. Your channel is a huge blessing for me and keeps me going strong every day.
Makes a lot of sense. I’ve found when I have a diet focused on fiber intake I feel better and lose weight, though never thought about using this 5:1 ratio as a benchmark for making good choices.
The Dynamic Duo ! gyms closed goin' on month 4 ! i needed this, thanks fellas ..
12 months closed now
Love watching you guys! Your easy-going, upbeat friendship is a pleasure to see-and you provide some very interesting/helpful information to boot! Thanks :-)
Great explanation and user friendly of the 5 to 1 Rule. Keep the information and knowledge coming in this complex and frustrating area of losing weight.
I’m going to try this! I injured my rotator cuff badly, and followed the videos you guys posted on it, particularly the sleeping position and it healed without surgery! Thank you so much!
1 reason so many people give their kids cheerios goes back probably about 50 yrs or so. the thing that made them popular for parents to give small children was docs suggesting them because of the hole in the middle preventing a small child getting their windpipe covered/preventing choking, because if they accidently swallowed it whole, the hole in the middle still made it possible for the child to breathe. nowadays, you will often find other snacks made for small children (in the baby/toddler section) made in the same shape as cheerios for this reason.
you guys are the cutest, and you never guiltify people...
Staying away from 80 to 90 percent of packaged and processed foods has helped me the most. Most packaged foods contain too much sugar and too much salt. Getting reduced or even no salt products also really great.
Your advice helped me lower my triglycerides by 154 points this year. Thank you!!!!
Thanks guys, for always being the reasonable and sensible people you are. Understanding a plant based diet is a healthy option even if it’s a few days a week. And cutting out carbs, without going Paleo 🙃 is so great!
I can't thank you guys enough for this video. I've never heard of the 5:1 rule until now. I'm basically a flexitarian but have really done badly with the carbs and sweets since the pandemic. I gained weight and want to get it together for my health and weight. Btw, it's numerator over denominator. 😃
Because it is not a rule. Just a sneaky intro to the low carb diet.
Eat foods above 5:1, and add fiber to them.
@@stargazer2042 Um, that's not low carb in the usual sense. Low carb usually means you take carbs, ignore the ratio, and replace them with unhealthy things like excess meats and oils.
I too gained weight over these past 2 years. I’m cutting out sugar, bread, juices, cakes, bagels. It sure is hard to lose weight though. Bob and Brad really helped me with physio so I’m back to light weight training and walking again.. I’m wondering if it’s my age that’s making losing weight difficult
@@AP-nx6xo Check out the anti-aging interviews at Modern Healthspan and then check out the video "How not to diet" by Michael Greger. If you just want the top few tips, 1) Get high intensity exercise as often as you can, 2) Eat as many low-calorie, high nutrition foods as you can (the best source of nutrition is plants), 3) For the high calorie foods you do eat, move them earlier in the day. 4) If you do cheat, have plans in place before-hand to turn a large cheat into a small cheat. 5) Maintain your mental health and optimism. Costs don't matter if you are not able to carry self-pride and optimism.
The two sources at the top will help you find ways to increase your metabolism (although HIIT is a big one) so you can focus more on nutrients and less on calories, but until you get that stuff in place you have to focus on both.
For 2) the first step is to get rid of liquid calories and for 1) note that a gym class will help you push yourself beyond previous limits. I have made far more progress with Zumba than I ever would have coming in and visiting the machines for a few minutes until I got bored.
@@jefflittle8913 thanks 👍🏻
During this covid time I started baking breads, OMG! They were so good! I put on almost 20 lbs. I went to my dr. And he said loose 10 lbs. in 3 months I lost 15lbs, by cutting back on carbs!
Totally true. I'm down 55 pounds in 14 months, and still losing weight slowly. I cut out non-fruit carbs almost entirely and I eat only two meals a day with no snacks except fruit (OK, sometimes a Kind nut bar....). I don't count calories or carb grams because that's too neurotic for me. I just avoid all white foods and sugar -- bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereal, pastries, desserts, candy, and sweetened drinks except for honey in my morning coffee. I eat tons of meat, eggs, whole fat dairy, fresh fruit, greens, vegetables and nuts. I also walk 2-3 hours most days. And yeah, my blood chemistry is back to teenager status. It's changed my life.
Popcorn with salt and butter is great. I had it for dinner every day for 3 weeks (depressed, and it was all I wanted) and lost 10 pounds, eating normally for other meals. Although when I think about, 3 weeks away from a hostile workplace helped too!
@ Chicken Tender. Thank you for that addition at the end. Stress, whether from workplace or other multiple sources in the last year and a half, is my biggest hurdle.
@@ljones98391 It's really diificult dealing with stress, especially from workplace jerks. I compensated by gaining over 30 pounds. Lost some but still have to watch myself. Now I just think those people mean less than nothing to me and enough practice with that means I forget about them after a little while. Hope you find a way to take good care of yourself.
Poor Chicken Tender- good luck kido!
watch the salt though
I went through a huge popcorn phase with the extra butter and everything, not a good diet choice for me, if I had to mush other stuff by the end of the day
I came to your channel for ankle strengthening. I stayed for the two most famous physical therapists on the internet! 💪🤙👏👏👏👏
Oh my goodness! 3 million plus subs! I have been watching you grow! Good for you all! Thank you for what you do!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I am finally having succes with this 5 to 1 rule after a decade of struggling. The weight is melting off. I have shared it with so many others too. God bless 🙏 you!
Love you guys! You are so helpful! Dr Greger is amazing and plant based eating is the way to go! Can you talk more about what you have been eating on the plant based diet?
Hi guys! I recently got plunged into the fitness trainer postion at my gym. Most of our memembers our above 55. Your videos have been so helpful. Thanks so much!

They're caring, helpful, thoughtful, sincere AND funny on occasion. What else could you want?
Thanks for the hip flexor tip, guys! My hip had been hurting me for a couple of months and my chiro always adjusted my low back, a problem area but not my hip problem.
Again, thanks❣👌😊
I showed my back doctor what I was watching on you tube your videos and she said her husband watches you too. Love your videos.
This 5 to 1 weight loss rule makes sense. I'm going to apply that to my eating habits. Thanks for sharing.
I respected you both before, and now I respect you even more if it is possible! Great video!
Real talk, I’m a little disturbed at how much I like these guys😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🥰
I loved Car Talk. Their laughter was contagious. I retired a few years ago so I can't listen to them on my way home anymore.

This is all very interesting but I believe that for most people the big factor in weight loss is Portion Control!
This is great! I just discovered you two and I'm so glad I did. I just wanted to "approve this message." I also follow Dr. Greger amongst other reliable doctors (both MD and PhD) dieticians in the plant-based community. A whole-food plant-based diet is so healthy and checks all the boxes for preventing the chronic diseases that plague the developed world. Also helps you stay full and lose weight. Now on to more of your P.T. videos. Thanks Bob & Brad!
Awesome thank you
I like them too but I like dr Jason fung and Eric Berg too
This vid just happened to be in my recommended but i absolutely adore these guys they’re so wholesome and hilarious. I knew it was gonna be iconic from the intro
There are low carb potatoes, at least in Australia. It depends on the type of potato. There are many varieties and the Kestrel is one of the lower carb ones. I'm a diabetic and the standard potato in any form shoots my glucose up but with the low carb ones if I have a dinner of meat, green veg and potato I have to watch that my glucose doesn't end up too low.
this is absolutely wild.... I checked the label of my favorite brown rice product and got a value of 19! I'm not so interested in weight loss as I am about fibre intake...definitely an eye opener!
Portion size is the hidden gem too ... these guys are awesome!
RIGHT! One cup of pasta/cereal is TWO servings of carbs.
Dr. Greger is the best on the planet at explaining health vs. foods. His channel is the best, These 2 studs are the best at helping with pain as well:)
Ok so you talk about all the things you shouldn’t eat, so what DO you eat? You say you’re not hungry, you feel full. What are you eating every day that replaces the bread, toast, waffles, French Toast, pancakes and those types of yummy breakfast foods as well as other meals?? Thank you!
This was adorable, informative and actually very funny!!!!! Love you guys. You inspire me to do better by making it achievable.
Watching your vids gives me my sanity back. I thank you gentlemen ☮️❤️😎
I've lost several pounds the past few weeks.
I've adjusted my diet a little bit, mainly trying to cut down on carbs and sugar.
I mostly have cut out sugary drinks. No sodas, or energy drinks, no juice unless it's low sugar.
It's worked quite well!
A neat trick for juices. Grape juice, as a prime example, has lots of really healthy polyphenols, but it has *way* too many calories. What you can do is mix about 3 parts unsweetened tea, 2 parts jaimaica, and 1 part grape juice, and you benefit from the polyphenols while not o-d'ing on the sugar. Think of fruit juice as a "natural sweetener" rather than a "drink".
@@jefflittle8913 Yes, I've learned that little trick, it works quite well. Many juices are so sugary it's ridiculous.
The sad thing about some PTs, is that they work for an organization that dictates how much time they can spend with each patient... the ones I went to had that problem too, but they worked with the limitations of the system; they gave me handouts of everything we did, so I could remember how to do them at home, and they even gave me stretch exercise bands, and showed me how to make some of my own exercise tools, too. They were very interested in keeping me progressing forward... I think some of them get discouraged and have a hard time...I'm so impressed with Bob and Brad... It's like having live reminders of my own PTs, right in my room with me! The best ever!
I had thyroid cancer and gained over 200lbs. For the past ten years I have been slowly losing. Lost about 100lbs over a ten year span. I consider that a success because I do not have a thyroid and that alone makes weight management difficult. Atleast I stopped gaining. I recently found out I have brittle diabetes. I saw this video about the 5 to 1 rule. I have been doing this diet plan for 3 and half months and have lost about 20lbs! And it was really difficult giving up my sonic lunches with their 700 calorie milkshakes, but I did it! I researched food labels and made a list of brands names and items that were 5 to 1 ratio and I stocked up on chia seeds because they are packed with fiber and if I throw a few table spoons of chia seeds in I can have potatoes and rice occasionally. I think my blood sugar is more balance because of the weight loss and eliminating sugar and breads. Your video has given me hope. This was something I found easier to follow than anything else dietitians ever told me. I love black olives, 1 carb per serving! And chili is good it is very low carb. Thank you so much for your very helpful videos! I get a1C checked in a week, so I will find out how successful I am with this. I look in the mirror and can see I look more and more like I used to before cancer. Oh and not sure why but all the fluid on my face and hands and ankles is gone too! Again thank you so much!
I snack on popcorn often. Snappy Pop white (amazon) is the BEST! I season with no-sodium Mural of Flavor (Penzey's) and Nutritional yeast. Sometimes, I add a bit of Cayenne. It is a great snack.
How do you pop it?
I’m a Registered Dietitian and I tell my patients to go on a low STARCH, low SUGAR diet. Just like you are saying. I also tell them to measure their portions. Use those calculations on 1/2 cup servings.
Yes! The only thing I measure is the 'carb' foods, like grains and corn. I use a measuring scoop from the dollar store. Never eat more than a cup...that's 2 servings. i don't count carbs from non-starchy veggies.
Thanks for the advice!🙂
Ann, yes! 1/2 cup portions. I lost 30 lbs.
I used those little 1/2 cup pyrex bowls and put in nuts, veggies, yogurt, meats, fruit. Ate one bowl an hour, it's really hard to do at first, for me at least.
And moved.
Portion control is half the battle. No fake food the other.
Terrible advice should be ZERO. Low is relative
@@joyfaith1711
How many people are going to cut ALL starch and sugar? Especially cold-turkey?
Don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. And, while “low” is relative, there’s nothing that says low can’t be defined by the dietician. (It should be.)
Wow! Checking out the food in my house and the ratio is crazy off. Thanks for this, it's enlightening! I appreciate the simplification.
Learning that you follow some of Dr. Gregor's advice made me love you guys even more!
Wishing Bob the best. God bless you Bob.
Thank you!! Much appreciated!
“Some kernel of truth to it “. 🤣😂😅 Lookin good both of you !

Cheerios have tested the highest in gly-pho-sate residue, which absolutely destroys the gut. Ask mine. Chemo, Radio, 4 surgeries, (two were emergency).
Organic, when possible and little to no grains.
It CAN be done.
You two are a treasure!
What cereals have you found to be the best?
Anything processed middle aisles is a nooo! Glyphosate is in everything I try to buy non GMO TOO. Intermittent fasting is our life saving way of life. Stay away from vegetable oils highly inflammatory and toxic! Almost 70 years young the best I have ever felt since my 30’s!
@@seekingserenity1902 Kashi Go cereals. Original, Crunch, Toasted Berry Crisp, Honey Almond Flax, Cinnamon Crisp. Even their Chocolate Crunch (32/6) or Peanut Butter Crunch (31/6) is close. You can also add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal to improve the ratio.
Edit: Nature's Path Organic Heritage Flakes, sold in supermarkets and Trader Joe's, is 37/7 carbs to fiber, where you can hit the ratio with the ground flaxseed. Same with Cascadian Farm Hearty Morning Fiber, 51/10. I'll keep editing this whenever I find more and remember to. 🙂
@@TheRuns2 Thanks for the info:)
@@seekingserenity1902 You're welcome. I've edited it with more info.
Try nutritional yeast sprinkled on popcorn. I spritz it with olive oil using my Mister and then sprinkle with nutritional yeast which tastes cheesy, is low sodium and loaded with B vitamins.
I live in Europe and nutritional yeast here shows no B-vitamins in the nutrition info. Depends on the brand, but I think you'll find the B-vitamins are added supplements and not naturally occurring.
This is something I've never heard of before. Being partially disabled (bad knees) and being an office rat, this information could help in choosing better meal options and help with weight control and loss. I'm going to give this a try, along with some of the office exercises from your other videos. Thanks!!
Always great advise, delivered in such a fun and realistic way, especially for those stubborn pounds that don’t want to leave!!! Thanks gentlemen!!
I thought the same thing: panicky because I lost weight so fast! I started South Beach’s low glycemic diet (even starting at stage 2 instead of stage 1) and the weight just fell off! We were out-of-town for 2 months, so I did not have clothes available as I went from Size 14 slacks to Size 10! Even went down to Size 8 by the end, but now in Size 10 and have stayed right there 👍......less bread and carbs and just eat more Vegs than meat.
Fantastic!
I absolutely loved this video! I would love more of what to eat (good examples) and meal ideas! My daughter is getting married at the end of May and I would LOVE to lose some weight! This was great info! Thank you!
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
I just love you guys. Great job on this installment!!!
I’ve lost 37 pounds so far since June. I eat whatever but only 1200 calories a day. No deviation. I wasn’t worried about nutrition at first, I just wanted to get back in the healthy range. Now I can start to focus on nutrition.
Hello 👋dear, how are you doing?
Bonza chickpea pasta is delicious! The rotini and penne are my favs. Available online and at Target!
I’ve been doing keto for a very long time, don’t know how many years. I have not lost an ounce, but I am pretty close to an ideal weight. I just use it to keep down seizures.
Sorry, you don't need to lose weight. You're at a healthy weight unless your photos are photo shopped:) Seriously you look great...
These guys crack me up. I’m glad to read and hear about the success stories. I personally would never do the method in this video though. I “net” the carbs from the dietary fiber for a carbs intake total. But I don’t even do that anymore. I eat about 100 carbs a day and if you’re really serious about losing weight, I recommend intermittent fasting.
I’ve lost 62 lbs in 3.5 months with fasting and daily exercising. For the first time in over 20 years I’m in a size 32 jeans and am 5 lbs away from a BMI reading of normal weight as opposed to overweight and originally obese.
5 to 1 -- total grams of carbs divided by total grams of fiber should equal 5 or less. Otherwise too many carbs (simple carbs).
So it is grams, I wanted to check that😊
I can confirm that any effort to lower carb intake works. I also just eliminated bread, potatoes, on a regular basis, though I still do have some carbs, just very small portions, so I'm not keto. The main thing lowering carbs does for me is keep me from getting hungry. I can now go from supper to breakfast with no snacking, and I'm not hungry. Last night I ate a piece of garlic bread for dinner. Woke up at 3 AM ravenously hungry.
Been trying to add more fiber to my diet for better digestion and weight loss. This is so helpful. Now I understand how to get the full benefits of fiber into my diet without eating to much sugar. Thank you😊
Love your video on plantar fasciitis. I’ve been doing the exercises and it’s so much better thank you
Y'all are so fun !! I love hearing your knowledge and wisdom ❤
Thank you both for a fun and informative video. I always read labels before purchasing food, but never heard of this simple calculation before and it's a game-changer. I'll never look at label without doing the division :) Thank you for sharing.
This is a great way to show the difference between simple and complex carbs and how much more fiber is in complex carbs typically.
Thank you so much for this way to critically analyze the carbs I eat. I have been changing out the high carbs for low carbs (I don't eat tons of carbs anyway). The result is that my AIC has gone from 6.0 to 5.6. I was heading into the pre-diabetic range. Thank you so much for an easy way to eat better.
