Thomas, wheat is a raspy highly inflammatory grain, still, despite years of genetic manipulation and field testing Big Ag science has not yet produced a viable marketable gmo wheat. If their failed efforts weren't such a huge waste of time/ money, it might be cause for celebration.
Nah, we need to stop this food phobia shit. In most people now, the inflammation genes are not getting the signals they need from foods anymore. The answer is stimulating the Nrf2 anti-inflammation signals (as we did in the past), and rewilding our gene signals. Ween back into grains AFTER Nrf2 activation.
I have been bodybuilding for like 23 years took a university nutritionist course and coach people for competitions and Thomas Delauer is just so spot on with everything and explains it in such a respectful way if that makes sense
Not to burst your bubble but taking a college class Actually makes me distrust you more on the subject since colleges are typically behind In the time frame of scientific advancement Especially when it comes to nutrition. And I have A Bachelor degree in accounting So I'm not anti college. Based on my 10 plus years of research in health and nutrition I find that His University seemed to lack A lot of good information. And default fall on the government Recommendation
It's like saying you trust a doctor Because they are a doctor and they went to school but we know that most conventional medical practitioners Are very archaic in their approach And Are often very wrong

Thing is, buckwheat is VERY high in oxalates. After consuming for a couple of years or so, this might show up in kidney stone, and oxalate deposits in other parts of the body including bladder, colon and many other places. Sally K talks about this on You Tube. Talking from experience. Thought I found the ticket years ago, than symptoms started! Many grains are high in oxalates, oats ironically with higher glycemic index is low.
you'd see problems in places where people eat a lot of buckwheat. If oxalates are even so bad there could be a way how to neutralize it. Like sprouting. It's actually oxalic acid, isnt it? Spinach is cooked with diary to neutralize it. IDK, IMO it mostly happens when you are chronically dehydrated and a concentrated urine sits in kidneys for too long. Some people eat lot of oxalates without any problem
@@trollmcclure1884 Like everything, there are variables involved. Yes calcium will actually bind to oxalic acid (and people thing it is calcium that actually causes the stones, deposits). I myself, drink a ton of water. But, I also was in the acquired habit of eating buckwheat for breakfast, every day. Other things are high in oxalates as well, such as avocados and tomatoes. So, it is best to be aware of everything one consumes, how much, when etc. When we are young, we get away with a lot, but around 50ish is when symptoms will appear from years of living.
I cook buckwheat wtth bit of olive oil ,bit of vinegar ,salt or curry powder,(60 gr buckwheat 150 gr water,simmer for 15 minutes and rest fot another 5 minutes, healthy and delicious
I was reading a book on the Mongolian empire and it referenced how they were much more fat adapted because of their region and diet. This gave them an edge against the Chinese who were largely carb dependent off of rice. I thought that was interesting to read in a history book.
Great information. I keep a wide variety of grains in my house for my kids. I was hoping you would discuss ancient grains, like kamut and einkorn. Also, teff and spelt. Curious where they would fall in your list. Also, for someone trying to lose weight 🙋🏻♀️, is there a place for any of these grains, or would you say they would be solely to incorporate once reaching your goal weight? Also, does eating these grains (in flour form) along with sourdough change how you view them? We love sourdough kamut bread. My son is healing his gut eating sourdough daily. It’s pretty amazing (using organic AP flour and kamut with the sourdough starter).
I know this is late, but I think many people would be fine with healthy carbohydrates and cycling in and out of low carb/keto/carnivore to be metabolically flexible. I'm 100% against modern standard wheat though for reasons you must already know. I believe the issue is our gut health. Since drinking loads of homemade kefir and eating sourdough my blood sugars have been better and I've felt better. Also, exercise the best low maintenance which is most effective I've found has been rebounding. Look into it, its amazing.
Excellent as always! Thank you Thomas so much for taking the time to share your wonderful videos with us! What about Quinoa? How does that compare in all of this? And what about Oats?
Like other people have mentioned, I was hoping to hear about oats in this video. You have mentioned in a previous video that cooked and cooled oats in small quantities can be beneficial (thanks to betaglucans) but I was just wondering what would be its rank in this list? And BTW I'm a newbie on your channel and I really appreciate all the info I find here. 🙂
Oats aren’t any better than the rest. Oats are high in physic acid, and even if you were to soak them, they aren’t high in the enzyme phytase (an enzyme that breaks down phytic acid). Phytic acid is classified as an ‘anti nutrient’ because it can bind to other essential minerals within the gut cause deficiencies in the long run. Meat for the kings, oats for the peasants. But I guess in small amounts once in a blue moon wouldn’t be bad, just don’t make it a staple breakfast everyday like some other people are, unknowingly worsening their health.
oats are good as barley, because of the beta-glucan. Hell u can do barley and oats together. better raw oats, becauas htey contain 3 times, more beta-glucan than cooked oats.
For a long time, I ate a lot of "buckwheat" soba, thinking it was healthy. Then one day, I looked at the ingredients and realized basically all soba is mostly wheat, not buckwheat. Very deceptive marketing. That's a lesson I learned in my early 20s, and now I pretty much ignore the rest of the packaging and just focus on the nutrition label.
Me too! Until i found a buckwheat noodles' packaging marked buckwheat content over than 70% then i learned to focus on the nutrition label. Otherwise i might be deceived by only the name.
@@Darlena-he2ze A similar example is green noodles. They look healthy, but then you read the ingredients and realize it's still mostly wheat with a tiny bit of green vegetable-practically serving the function of food coloring and nothing more.
If it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t know what food to potentially consume. Love the technical, difficult to pronounce medical jargon you use in explaining this information. It helps me look really smart when I quote your information to my friends.
Thomas, will you talk about oatmeal in terms of low carbs diet (not Keto). I was hoping to see "oats" in this video as one of the grains (good or bad) when I clicked it. I found I do better with my workouts when I have some carbs beforehand. My everyday meal before workouts is a bowl of oatmeal (plain, not instant) made from water, I add an applesauce (with cinnamon) cup and vanilla protein powder (Sun Warrior) to it. Is that a wise move? Post workout I have a protein shake with chocolate protein powder (Sun Warrior) and frozen whole strawberries blended together. The rest of my meals are pretty much Keto style meals.
What kind of oats? Most all main stream oats are grown in lifeless nutrient void soil, sprayed heavily with glyphosate and not soaked. I have oats a few times a month but it’s organically grown by a local farmer, not sprayed with anything and then soaked in apple cider vinegar for many days.
If you are discussing flours and grains, I think Quinoa should have been on the list. That mixed with a coconut and/or nut flour seemed to work good for me when I am not trying to do Keto. I even made pancakes for a neighbor who is diabetic and their blood sugar stayed stable. They were so excited!
@@lauras4472 it is classified as a grain, so I never thought about it further, but you are right, it is actually seed. I just looked it up, because I was surprised by what you said, I was like what…but it is true! Fun fact.
Every once in a while I'll eat one or two pieces of Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grains bread. I don't feel deprived since I can still eat that and it's excellent. I might go through 1 loaf over a 2 month period. Stays frozen until I thaw a piece or 2
I believe through many years of experimental experience with oats .. it’s what you add to your oats that have the largest impact? I never added fruit even dried fruit, I use maple syrup as a sweetener as it has the many health benefits. I add goats milk or kefir. I sometimes add supplement powders such as creatine, amino acids or cologne. I’ve even started adding ghee butter as it is a kind of a sour cream in this form with its added health benefits. I’ve also added ground coffee as it’s then digested through the liver rather than just through the kidneys prob giving it more of a chance to give us its fuller benefits. I also just soak oats with the ingredients over night rather than cooking with them as they’ve been already roasted when they are rolled. So I get all these benefits and fibre from this one powerful combo which ever extra ingredients I’ve added for that days nutrition. I’ve also ate oats all my life .. from 10 yrs old coming up to 56 yrs old. They help me sleep better, relax better, focus better and reading up about them they are natures natural Viagra, a natural sedative and full of natural proteins, carbohydrates and fats … my bread and butter alternative for a fuel packed alternative I can cram pack with nutritional extras ✨🤜🏼🤛🏽🌅✨🕉️✨🫶🏻✨ Power To The People 💪🏼🫀👅
I wish someone would do some research on how natural fermentation sourdough wheat bread compares....might make a big difference on glycemic response once the bacteria predigest the protein/gluten and eat some of the carbs(?).....or my wishful thinking lol😊
I can tell you that when I ferment white flour (becomes sour) and then use it to make my own bread, the glycemic response is great. Since it was fermented for more than 7 days, there is barely any carb in it anymore :) Enjoy.
Not necessarily research, but there is a YT channel where the keto blogger tests different foods using a CGM. I think he's done fermented food. There's also cooked and cooled starches (resistant starch theory). Obviously this is an Nof1 example. But it's interesting to see the blood sugar spikes. I think the channel is Serious Keto
I have seen yt videos of individuals doing blood tests of normal white bread, whole wheat and sourdough. Sourdough did generally come out as having a lower response although there would be a lot of variation among individuals.
Hey Thomas! I appreciate the fact that you always differentiate between your speculations and science. I personally am not one to wait on studies when things are becoming obvious clinically. I also love the fact that your views are not dogmatic! Just THANK YOU‼️💚
Agreed. Every one is Guru now to sell supplements and books. No need to spend whole life in medicine and continuous education. Thanks to AL and logarithmic studies
I had a big bag of buckwheat at home for several years, I made porridge once and didnt like it. The second time i tried years later I got hooked. Its so tasty. My body loves it. I know its good cause it doesnt mess up my gut like muesli and those usual grains etc Buckwheat and oats are both good for me.
Yeah the smell is a bit weird but when you eat it, your body loves it, I'm just transferring my diet to buckwheat, my body deals with it so much better than wheat.
What about the mytotoxins in our grains supply. 1/3 of all grains, corn, oats and rice that isn't bleached contains mytotoxins like Zen that bind to estrogen receptors and convert testosterone into estradiol
I would say einkorn definitely belongs on the good list. The only one with two chromosomes, the only non hybrid wheat. What also makes grains much better is sprouting, and even further fermenting. In my opinion sprouted einkorn sourdough is the best all around. Sprouting can mitigate some of the anti nutrients and help absorb a little more minerals, as we know anti nutrient’s essentially inhibit mineral absorption. Sprouting and fermenting can make grains taste better, and easier to digest. I would look for a sprouted buckwheat if buckwheat is what you go with. One good thing about buckwheat you didn’t mention was it is the highest in magnesium, a tough mineral to get, but be sure it’s sprouted to even think about absorbing any of it. Lastly sorry but I’m nitpicking here, it’s pronounced say(she)ate, not say(tee)ate. I don’t know why that drives me crazy. Probably because you are so smart, and should know how to pronounce that word with all of your attention to detail in other areas.
Any feedback on Fonio? Flackers have a cracker w it . . Sidenote : what's your take on Base Cultute Bread .. BTW, I've been watching your videos for a couple years now , I've seen lots of other channels over that timespan Pound for pound ( pun intended !) This channel is the best nutrition channel for lay folks ,serious students & bio nerds as well .👌 Peanut allergy increases also due to pesticides/ gmos. I'm sure. Etc etc.
There's a HUGE jump between the first five and refined rice, I get such a high blood sugar response from white rice, I can eat dark and wild rices just fine.
Whole grain Rye-Spelt sourdough bread with some seeds fermented 2×12 hour, for two days calm after baking, sliced and put in the freezer, for breakfast taking out put into the toaster, you will never eat any other bread.😉
At 10:00 about wheat .. The main reason you should avoid GMOs (regardless of if it’s wheat or other crops) is because the entire reason GMO seeds are developed and being used, is to engineer seeds that can withstand being sprayed with the weed killer Roundup. This means weeding crop fields chemically vs manually can now be easily preformed. The GMO corn, soy, etc is created to be round up resistant or round up safe. However.. now you must consume these crops produced using this growing practice. Also, the amount of this spray being used is enormous and showing up everywhere. In our water, our bodies etc. Avoiding GMOs is more about avoiding Round Up being sprayed on your food and in your community.
Based on your Ayurvedic dosha type, certain grains are good or bad for you. For example, since I have a vata disorder, I do well on rice and wheat, but poorly on most other grains. For example rye is drying, so it doesn't go well in my system.
I've been making it from scratch for years and I know it's loaded with probiotics and resistant starches, but I never eat it anymore due to the carbs. However on a carb cycle I wonder if it might me something good to have.
What about lacto-fermenting the grain before you eat it. I have been adding home made kombacha to oatmeal (steel cut) and letting it ferment for a couple of days before eating. Tastes a bit different, but you get used to it.
I love Mediterranean Keto so much, but the only carbs I tend to like (generally for occasional leptin reset) 1. Lentils 2.sweet potato 3.large flake oatmeal 4. Beans
I hope when you say Mediterranean you include Spain, North African ( Morocco, Algeria,Tunisia) Sardinia, Italy, Greece, Egypt. They have very similar dishes and ties. They mastered canning Sardines and other seafood as a tradition. I never want to eat sardines not canned from one of these places as a rule of thumb.
I was expecting groats, wild rice and quinoa! Or maybe bulgur. P.s. millet is very broad. There are many types so i wonder which you are referring to as best?
Good news for me, I love all three buckwheat, barley, and millet. Also love rye and didnt know it would be lower, so good to know. Curious about where quinoa, amaranth, and spelt would be on this list. Maybe you could do a video ranking more of the grains and pseudograins sometime?
Quinoa, would be in the same place as buckwheat i think. amaranth and spelt probably in the middle. Buckwheat has a lot of antioxidants more than other grains.
Buckwheat is a gem. I make Buckwheat tortillas with water, soaked Buckwheat, and salt. No oil, absolutely a health boon and tastes great and holds whatever filling... savory or sweet.
Quinoa, Oats, Beens and lentils are my staples and I look good and feel good. Taking psyllium husk 1 teaspoon in water with a tablespoon of cider vinegar 30 minutes before any carb meal greatly reduces insulin response by slowing down metabolism with fiber.
Even organic oats is bad. They have to fortify those oats to give you vitamins to make it look healthy on nutrition facts. You can get them elsewhere. Also why not get fiber from fruit. You don’t want a lot of fiber.. who wants to shit all the time? You only have so much life in your intestines, give them a break for the rest of your life.
@@NickM89 I think oats are good before workouts because they digest fast and give you that immediate energy. Other than that I think it’s good to stick mostly to meat and fruit/ vegetables
White rice is better on the GI tract and doesn’t cause me eczema. Plus gluten free. Most people with gut issues do okay on rice. As long as you’re fasting on OMAD while consuming rice regularly, you should be fine. Plus it’s the most affordable grain there is. Your bank will thank you
Thomas Day 6, no solids carbs. Gizzards and feet only. Fair bit of honey mind you:) Awoke after good sleep yet body felt as though I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards. Two weeks the goal... Let's go yeah.
Hello Thomas. Enjoyed the video but wheat is not a GMO crop. There is no genetically modified wheat currently commercialized anywhere in the world, and GMOs are not related to gluten.
Millet is stacked full of goitrogens !! It trashes the thyroid ! Check out the research in Sumatra, Chris Masterjohn has an excellent video on it. I would be very hesitant to eat too much Millet.
That fermentation is the issue for many, me being one of them. Barley is ultimately a big no-go because of the in body fermentation more than the gluten which for many also ferments in the gut and causes gluten related issues. I don’t know if you’ve ever addressed it but FODMAP is why barley can be challenging.

Thomas, wheat is a raspy highly inflammatory grain, still, despite years of genetic manipulation and field testing Big Ag science has not yet produced a viable marketable gmo wheat. If their failed efforts weren't such a huge waste of time/ money, it might be cause for celebration.
What about quinoa and is this good as a substitute?
Nah, we need to stop this food phobia shit. In most people now, the inflammation genes are not getting the signals they need from foods anymore. The answer is stimulating the Nrf2 anti-inflammation signals (as we did in the past), and rewilding our gene signals. Ween back into grains AFTER Nrf2 activation.
Look into Einkorn wheat many good studies on Pub Med

I've been eating kasha for over a year, which is buckwheat and can be found at any Eastern European store- Great for breakfast with butter in it.
Even better with fried bacon pieces and bacon fat 😊

All grains must be soaked to break down phytic acid, sprouted is best and fermented as well.
I do well with quinoa, but not oats and definitely not wheat... If I eat too much quinoa though, I do notice the bloat setting in
Hey Thomas, Omega 6 - Omega 3 ratio is 20:1 in the case of barley, it should be avoided considering the ideal ratio of omegas is between 4:1 and 3:1
Dr berg says it should be 1:1 ideally....
You can compensate it with eating food high in omega 3 and low in omega 6 or taking supplements. It aint rocket science.
Buckwheat is very popular in Russia. It's called hear as Grechka (means 'from Greek').

thank u for ur great imformative videos👏 what about the lectin content in some grains like barley buckwheat ..... not millet , what about sorghum?
Hey Thomas I was hoping you were going to say something about teff.... please tell us about its glycemic index...
What about Quinoa?
I'm literally eating buckwheat pancakes made with flour soaked in homemade coconut kefir to reduce anti-nutrients!
That’s a great idea!
What about the mytotoxins in our grains supply. 1/3 of all grains, corn, oats and rice that isn't bleached contains mytotoxins like Zen that bind to estrogen receptors and convert testosterone into estradiol
I thought Zen was a variety of Buddhism.
I would say einkorn definitely belongs on the good list. The only one with two chromosomes, the only non hybrid wheat. What also makes grains much better is sprouting, and even further fermenting. In my opinion sprouted einkorn sourdough is the best all around. Sprouting can mitigate some of the anti nutrients and help absorb a little more minerals, as we know anti nutrient’s essentially inhibit mineral absorption. Sprouting and fermenting can make grains taste better, and easier to digest.
I would look for a sprouted buckwheat if buckwheat is what you go with. One good thing about buckwheat you didn’t mention was it is the highest in magnesium, a tough mineral to get, but be sure it’s sprouted to even think about absorbing any of it. Lastly sorry but I’m nitpicking here, it’s pronounced say(she)ate, not say(tee)ate. I don’t know why that drives me crazy. Probably because you are so smart, and should know how to pronounce that word with all of your attention to detail in other areas.
Can you do a video on oats?
Any feedback on Fonio?
Flackers have a cracker w it . .
Sidenote : what's your take on Base Cultute Bread ..
BTW, I've been watching your videos for a couple years now ,
I've seen lots of other channels over that timespan
Pound for pound ( pun intended !)
This channel is the best nutrition channel for lay folks ,serious students & bio nerds as well .👌
Peanut allergy increases also due to pesticides/ gmos. I'm sure.
Etc etc.
Rice bran just as bad as rice flour ?
Its in one item I enjoy but currently avoid. Only has small amouny. Dusted w it i think.
Ty!!
Any substitution for the quinoa. Hmm .

What about beer? 🍺
Beer is God's drink... Unless it's Bud Lite. That beer is blasphemy.
Btw Himalaya brand 'flora sante' pro/pre-biotics also use capsule in capsule method.
There's a HUGE jump between the first five and refined rice, I get such a high blood sugar response from white rice, I can eat dark and wild rices just fine.
I definitely can feel the sugar be spike when I eat white rice.
Whole grain Rye-Spelt sourdough bread with some seeds fermented 2×12 hour, for two days calm after baking, sliced and put in the freezer, for breakfast taking out put into the toaster, you will never eat any other bread.😉
Wheat is GMO so they can drench it in RoundIp. All very well when sowing it but they use it just before harvest. I want nothing to do with RoundUp.
Thank you so much.❤🙏🏽
At 10:00 about wheat .. The main reason you should avoid GMOs (regardless of if it’s wheat or other crops) is because the entire reason GMO seeds are developed and being used, is to engineer seeds that can withstand being sprayed with the weed killer Roundup. This means weeding crop fields chemically vs manually can now be easily preformed. The GMO corn, soy, etc is created to be round up resistant or round up safe. However.. now you must consume these crops produced using this growing practice. Also, the amount of this spray being used is enormous and showing up everywhere. In our water, our bodies etc. Avoiding GMOs is more about avoiding Round Up being sprayed on your food and in your community.
I love my morning buckwheat hot cereal. Nice.
My favorite thus far!!
Hey Thomas, what do you think about Aramanth?
I’m very affected by wheat..downright allergic I think. I cannot tolerate it at all, and it is snuck in so many things!
Every few weeks when I add carbs, I have pancakes made from sprouted buckwheat flour. They are delicious!
Based on your Ayurvedic dosha type, certain grains are good or bad for you. For example, since I have a vata disorder, I do well on rice and wheat, but poorly on most other grains. For example rye is drying, so it doesn't go well in my system.
Where would spelt or sorghum fall in your list?
Thomas, how about gluten free rolled oats?
I wonder if toasting bread makes any metabolic difference?
He just did a video that indicated freezing and toasting reduces the insulin response by a third.
Cooking barley with oatmeal and chicken broth in a rice cooker is so delicious, so much healthier than rice.
I would be curious to know about homemade sourdough bread
I've been making it from scratch for years and I know it's loaded with probiotics and resistant starches, but I never eat it anymore due to the carbs. However on a carb cycle I wonder if it might me something good to have.

📘 *"Wheat Bellay*
Sorghum - 🚫❤ huh?
What about lacto-fermenting the grain before you eat it. I have been adding home made kombacha to oatmeal (steel cut) and letting it ferment for a couple of days before eating. Tastes a bit different, but you get used to it.
This is smart I do the same thing but with sauerkraut brine and for 48 hours
I love Mediterranean Keto so much, but the only carbs I tend to like (generally for occasional leptin reset) 1. Lentils 2.sweet potato 3.large flake oatmeal 4. Beans
all are toxic
I hope when you say Mediterranean you include Spain, North African ( Morocco, Algeria,Tunisia) Sardinia, Italy, Greece, Egypt. They have very similar dishes and ties. They mastered canning Sardines and other seafood as a tradition. I never want to eat sardines not canned from one of these places as a rule of thumb.
@@Black-Circle how so?
@@jone0425 beans are toxic. Potatoes are nigh shades toxic. Lentils are toxic. Oatmeal is grain and causes inflammation and leaky gut.
I was expecting groats, wild rice and quinoa! Or maybe bulgur.
P.s. millet is very broad. There are many types so i wonder which you are referring to as best?
Good news for me, I love all three buckwheat, barley, and millet. Also love rye and didnt know it would be lower, so good to know.
Curious about where quinoa, amaranth, and spelt would be on this list. Maybe you could do a video ranking more of the grains and pseudograins sometime?
I agree and would also add riceberry to the list
Quinoa, would be in the same place as buckwheat i think. amaranth and spelt probably in the middle. Buckwheat has a lot of antioxidants more than other grains.
Eat bologna and mustard
Why you are so biased toward hyperglycimic fears? What if Im hypoglicymic and I worry about lectins, phytetes, herbicides and other harmful stuff?
Buckwheat is a gem. I make Buckwheat tortillas with water, soaked Buckwheat, and salt. No oil, absolutely a health boon and tastes great and holds whatever filling... savory or sweet.
How can I best remove Glyphosates from non-organic whole grains?
What about Quinoa, doesn't that beat it all, I know its technically a seed but doesn't the nutrient profile beat it all?
Quinoa, Oats, Beens and lentils are my staples and I look good and feel good.
Taking psyllium husk 1 teaspoon in water with a tablespoon of cider vinegar 30 minutes before any carb meal greatly reduces insulin response by slowing down metabolism with fiber.
I eat oatmeal every single day and I feel fine after I eat it
I love it but it makes me feel exhausted and sleepy. I wish I could find a solution to this problem.
@@fsaldan1because it’s high in insulin.
You are awesome big guy 💪🏼 big fan!!!! 🤘🏼😃
What do you think about Dave's Killer Bread?
Thats the seeded 1gr sugar bread I love
Epic as always ❤
I'd appreciate your take on porrage oats Thomas as I consume a lot.
What about Oats, Thomas?
Wheat, Braley, and Oats are not good!
@@carole3445 false
Even organic oats is bad. They have to fortify those oats to give you vitamins to make it look healthy on nutrition facts. You can get them elsewhere. Also why not get fiber from fruit. You don’t want a lot of fiber.. who wants to shit all the time? You only have so much life in your intestines, give them a break for the rest of your life.
And yes I’m a 10 yr carnivore/fruit diet guy, it saved my life
@@NickM89 I think oats are good before workouts because they digest fast and give you that immediate energy. Other than that I think it’s good to stick mostly to meat and fruit/ vegetables
What form and preparation of Buckwheat are we talking about here for minimal glycemic impact and maximum benefit?
White rice is better on the GI tract and doesn’t cause me eczema. Plus gluten free. Most people with gut issues do okay on rice. As long as you’re fasting on OMAD while consuming rice regularly, you should be fine. Plus it’s the most affordable grain there is. Your bank will thank you
I eat a powered bread with 1g sugar which is organic fruit juice
What about Teff, Spelt & Quinoa? Quinoa is high in oxolates.
I have read that pressure cooking quinoa removes a lot of the anti-nutrients.
how does a probiotic stabilize? what is it stabilizing? Aren't the grains supposed to provide the same benefits? Sounds like double-dipping
Sitting here watching this while eating my pre workout bowl of ground up rice.
Oatmeal?
What about sprouted grains
Why aren’t oats mentioned in this video?
Bulgur is good to
I prefer this rather than rice!
It is from wheat 😞
@@MD-19 me too...I dont eat rice anymore....just buckwheat and bulgur and some quinoa too
Next, Thomas will be telling us how to add bread to our diets.
Camera quality going crazy foreal, shit 4K
Thomas Day 6, no solids carbs. Gizzards and feet only.
Fair bit of honey mind you:)
Awoke after good sleep yet body felt as though I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards. Two weeks the goal... Let's go yeah.
Quinoa?
What about brown rice?
I need an explanation as to what “Frozen Sarah” is plz
No mention of Oates ?
Hello Thomas. Enjoyed the video but wheat is not a GMO crop. There is no genetically modified wheat currently commercialized anywhere in the world, and GMOs are not related to gluten.
True. Not gmo but it has been genetically engineered drastically.
Millet is stacked full of goitrogens !! It trashes the thyroid !
Check out the research in Sumatra, Chris Masterjohn has an excellent video on it. I would be very hesitant to eat too much Millet.
Would Dave’s bread be a good suggestion?
What about Einkorn wheat? It is the oldest Grain.
what about OATS? where do we place them?
In your tummy for breakfast. Enjoy
Great!
what about keto products that have wheat in them?
What about Fonio?
What about turning oatmeal into flour?
That fermentation is the issue for many, me being one of them. Barley is ultimately a big no-go because of the in body fermentation more than the gluten which for many also ferments in the gut and causes gluten related issues. I don’t know if you’ve ever addressed it but FODMAP is why barley can be challenging.
What is FODMAP?
