I know that many fruits have been processed. If the bananas that we see in the store are not the original then why do I see them in the wild here in Taiwan?
I lived in Africa from birth to my mid 20's. The food there was harder, grainy, everything we bought from the Market was something we had to cook at home. We had to grind wheat, barley, sorghum, seeds we bought to make bread. When I came to the US I found the food very delicious, eating out was the norm, snacking all the time, and then I saw all this premade food, so good, so yummy. Then I gained 50 lbs and got diagnosed with pre diabetes in 3 years.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:54 *🥛 Oat milk can cause a significant glucose spike due to its high starch content, even without added sugars.* 03:33 *🌰 Almond milk is a preferable alternative to oat milk as it has lower carbs and can help manage glucose levels.* 04:31 *🥛 Whole milk from good quality sources is a better option than skim milk, and for plant-based choices, nut-based milk is preferable to grain-based ones.* 06:26 *🍝 Brown rice pasta, despite being gluten-free, can cause a significant glucose spike similar to white rice. Cassava or lentil pasta is a better alternative.* 08:09 *🥣 Granola can be high in sugars, making it essential to balance breakfast with protein and fats, such as adding full-fat yogurt and nuts.* 10:40 *🍞 Buckwheat flour is a lower-calorie option with decent fiber content compared to almond flour, offering a good balance for glucose-conscious baking.* 13:01 *🍏 Choose pure apple cider vinegar over flavored versions with added sugars to benefit from its glucose-regulating properties.* 14:23 *🍯 When using honey, opt for small amounts, and be aware that its antioxidant benefits are not significantly higher than those found in half a blueberry.* 15:46 *🍯 Consider bee pollen for honey benefits with fewer carbs.* 16:17 *🍚 Rice cakes, despite low-calorie count, can cause a significant spike in blood sugar due to their high glycemic index.* 17:55 *🍠 Sweet potatoes are nutritionally richer than regular potatoes, and their impact on blood sugar can improve when cooled down.* 18:53 *🥔 Letting potatoes cool down changes their glycemic index, especially with sweet potatoes having more resistant starch.* 21:08 *🌱 Resistant starch has significant benefits for the microbiome, producing short-chain fatty acids that enhance glucose and fatty acid metabolism.* 22:32 *🍅 Marinara sauce may seem innocent, but the concentrated sugars, even if not added, can contribute to a glucose spike.* 24:54 *🍌 Green bananas, though not as sweet, contain resistant starch that ferments in the gut, promoting beneficial bacteria.* 26:03 *🍓 Whole fruits like strawberries, despite being selectively bred, offer fiber that helps reduce glucose spikes.* 28:35 *🫐 Berries, especially raspberries, contain tannins that act as alpha-amylase inhibitors, potentially reducing the impact on blood sugar.* 32:46 *🍇 Wild blueberries have about half the sugar of regular blueberries; frozen blueberries maintain antioxidant profile well.* 34:11 *🍿 Bagged popcorn, like Skinny Pop, has some retrograded starch, making it a better option than hot, fresh popcorn.* 35:19 *🌰 Opt for seed-based snacks like crackers with sesame, linseeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds for a healthier alternative.* 36:18 *🍇 Grapes, especially raisins, are selectively bred to be extra sweet; consume in moderation, ideally after a meal.* 38:12 *🥤 Kefir has a potent probiotic effect; consume a few tablespoons with fruit for added benefits to your microbiome.* 39:34 *🥫 Be cautious with sauces like teriyaki; one tablespoon can contain as much sugar as pure cane sugar, impacting your carb intake.* 40:31 *🥣 Instant oatmeal with added flavorings contains sugars and starches, making it less suitable for a protein-rich breakfast; opt for whole oatmeal and add chia, flaxseed, and nuts for a healthier choice.* 42:36 *🌰 To enhance oatmeal, add chia, flaxseed, and nuts, and let it cool to become a resistant starch; grinding flaxseed fresh is optimal for maximum benefit.*
Jessie is so awesome. I love that she doesn’t pretend to know what she doesn’t know. But I LOVE that she backs what she says with science. And she’s so holistic - so balanced.
Jessie's science and advice has literally saved my life. I was considered morbidly obese, suffering from water retention in my legs and even got into diabetic sugar levels. It's been 3 months and I've lost 12.5kg and the water retention is easing up. I feel so much healthier, happier and more in control of my health than ever before. Adding the science and advice from Thomas also (like the walking & level 2 exercising, macadamia nuts, saturated fats etc) this has radically changed my lifestyle for the better. A big thank you, to the both of you for really pushing to educate and empower us all - and dispelling all of the marketing lies! (Shocked at how any of these are even legal!)
I don't know much about her. Mind sharing where to find her science and advice that you found useful? I have water retention in my legs too and have been looking for answers. Thanks in advance!
Both very well educated and 100% correct about everything - what makes this an exceptional video to watch is the professionalism and respect they have for each other. They both know all this, yet they take turns being genuinely interested in what the other has to say, as if it’s new information to them. Neither of them act as a know-it-all, they both add value to each other. A really enjoyable to watch.
I like them both, but I appreciate her bringing him back to the conversation regarding calories. He has a wealth of information which I appreciate and they're both communicating learned info differently
It’s true - it’s fine to talk fast but Thomas talks like he has to vomit stuff in a very short time . and this stresses me out too… but he has lot of good info..to share … she is awesome and calm … I like her..
I'm 65. From the age of 20, I've gotten up EVERY morning and drunk a big mug of hot water (not too hot) with apple cider vinegar in it. I'm healthy, can run up stairs, take a lot of supplements but NO drugs. Keep moving or you'll rust! A few tweaks to your life and you make good habits that will keep you healthy and happy. I avoid trends and extremes. (Just my 2 cents!).
@@nabeelkhan2632 I rarely see doctors anymore. They are all about the drugs: The entire system now is simply an outlet for big pharma ($$$$$$$$). After a half dozen visits over a few years where the incompetency (and a lot of the bs) became evident to me (I've begun to see THROUGH things in the past 10 years or so), and you're seen for 15 mins and it's 'one size fits all medicine' and THEY DO NOT RESEARCH THE CAUSE but only treat the symptoms.... this is not HEALTH care. It's a drug industry. I have the utmost respect for the vast majority of people who work within the system, (and are caught up in it, without being able to effect change) ... but the system itself is broken. It has simply become a very very powerful CORPORATION, and one that NEVER admits fault! ~I'm going to entrust my well-being to THAT??? I have more common sense than that. To ANSWER YOUR QUESTION (!), my cholesterol is extremely high. They wanted me to go on Statins. I said "No thank you." That was 15 years ago or so. I have low blood pressure. I take care of my own health and don't believe that 'they' have all the answers. But 'that's me' ! Everyone must follow their own path.
I’ve worked in an NHS mental health hospital for several years now and it never ceases to amaze me the appalling lack of knowledge and awareness medical professionals such as doctors and nurses have when it comes to the link between nutrition and health. The dementia and neuropsychiatry wards are particularly bad where patients who have fasting bloods of 7- 8, and after eating 12-13 is seen as normal and of no concern. I find it ironic that diabetic patients (which there are many) are not allowed to have sugar in their drinks but yet are permitted to eat as much toast, beans, potato, cereal, pasta, rice as they like. I once voiced my concerns about this with a senior nurse, who simply shrugged her shoulders whilst telling me there’s very little sugar in bread, rice or pasta so it was fine. I couldn’t believe this highly experienced nurse didn’t have a clue how carbs are processed in the body. For a second, I was tempted to inform her that these carbs are converted into glucose by the liver causing huge blood sugar and insulin spikes. I thought better of it. My words would’ve almost certainly fallen on deaf ears. Just the other week I witnessed a nurse encouraging a diabetic patient to eat some toast before they go to bed as their bloods were too low 5.8. I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. After the toast her bloods shot up to 12! The nurse was happy with this and allowed her to go to bed. Many patients are encouraged to eat three meals per day plus snacks and supper which include pudding after every meal (usually cake and custard). toast, and copious amounts of biscuits. Many patients who’s bloods are too low (5-6 range) for their insulin shots are encouraged to eat several biscuits so they can get their shot. Patients who refuse meals as they’re simply NOT HUNGRY are regularly bullied into submission and virtually force fed. Nurses and staff go into a blind panic thinking that missing a meal or two will somehow have a detrimental effect. For those who don’t cave into the pressure it’s not long before the Ensures (full of sugar) are being pushed upon them. It’s a farce. As a result of this appalling lack of understanding around nutrition many patients pile on the weight, and their condition deteriorates rapidly. Many patients are on a whole cocktail of drugs which seem to have very little positive effect whatsoever. In fact, I’m convinced many suffer detrimental side effects as a result. This is an NHS hospital where patients are supposed to come to get better. It’ a sad state of affairs! What the heck is going on!?
The NHS is in a bad way but thank you for being one of the nurses who researches and tries to make a positive impact. I hope that science can change the way the system is run here one day. I have patient access so i can see i have been in pre diabetic stage for some time possibly due to graves disease. The GPs have not even informed me of either, i have discovered this by my own research of my tests. Doing your own research in this country to learn how best to prevent is imperative. We are lucky to have such resources online, i am grateful.
i am sad that you have witnessed these things. Although I can see you are caring and responsible in your approach to nutrition, your comment simply underlines for me that NHS no longer stands for National Health SERVICE but now needs to be renamed National Health SHAMBLES.
Wow, this is shocking! 😳 I can’t believe the foods they’re fed! 😱 Wonder if it’s because they just don’t care even though they might have the knowledge that those foods are the worst for those patients? Either way, I’m very shocked at the kinds of foods that are served. It’s sad that they can’t get out. 😢
That makes no sense. Say you have a gallon size bowl of oatmeal and add a small pinch of sugar. That makes it dessert? It's more complicated than that.
@@lindahorstmann6036 It probably is. I'm pretty sure that the ingredients on most portion pack, pre-packaged foods are listed in order of prevalence in the recipe somehow. So the most prevalent is first, and so on. I also think that if I was capable of eating a gallon of oats as one serving size, I'd have bigger problems than worrying about my blood sugar. There's probably some relationship to a common, reasonably sized pre-packaged food portion and its mass or volumetric proprtion of sugar to the first ingredient. Just a guess though.
Jessie is so polite to give room to Thomas who practically swept the space of his guest. I so appreciate hosts who invite an expert for an interview and DO manage to resist the temptation to show how wise and cool they are themselves. I’m glad I’ve seen other Jessie’s interviews, she couldn’t say too much here.
He's usually more quiet when guests are on. Kind of makes me wonder if it's because she's female he feels it's okay to talk over her and steal her space.
I know right?! Everything he said, we've heard him say again and again. She was a guest, I wanted to hear more of her knowledge and what she had to say. He totally missed this opportunity.
@@aquaseahorselove3939 I noticed that too. Maybe he's intimidated because she has far more scientific expertise than him. And his manspreading in the chair... ugh. Why are American men like that?
Another thing you can do is fast in the morning and exercise. I never eat before noon. And never eat after 7 pm. I have no health issues. I eat normal food quantities. My weight has stayed at 165 lbs. For 25 years. Never change. Also, stay off drugs and don't drink alcohol. If you want to be healthy. That's all
I use pumpkin seed flour because I have histamine intolerance and don’t eat nuts. It makes things green, but is the same consistency as almond flour. Pumpkin seeds are also high in magnesium and potassium:)
Seeds are by design the most toxic parts of the plant. Plants produce toxins so animals and insects don’t eat their seeds so they can reproduce. It’s in any botany course you take. It’s there biological way to protect themselves from predators.
I'm also suffering from Histamine intolerance and that doesn't mean nuts have to be off the table. There's histamine intolerance and food allergies, two different things. Nuts are dangerous to people who are allergic but most nuts are actually low in histamine so as long as you're not allergic, nuts are ok to eat.
One has to wonder why one can declare themselves an expert in something these days. Nothing she said is a secret or something most of us don't already know.
@@pilatesfitness8766 I agree with you. Given the frequency at which she interrupts the host (not just here, that is), she certainly thinks very highly of herself.
You two work very well together in front of the camera. You both play off each other in a way that keeps the conversation engaging. I learned A LOT, and I hope to see more in the future!
Sadly, not so for me. They have both performed better as individuals in other contexts, in my opinion. I am sure it is a matter of taste, cultural norms, perhaps intergenerational differences in preferred styles of interaction, but nope, this video bored me silly.
Summary: Milk: nut milk or full fat with almonds or exercise Pasta: cassava lentil or chickpea but with protein fat and veggies prior Granola oats: with full fat yogurt and nut butter (protein) Buckwheat: decent because of fiber but almond flour is good too. Mix alternative flours. Apple cider vinegar ≠ acv drink blends Coconut sugar is still sugar. Not really low glycemic. Rice cakes: super spiker. It’s a no. Sweet potato is better because of nutritional value and better when cooled to room temperature and have fiber before. Marinara has lots of concentrated sugar! Banana: greener is less sugar and ferments in body Berries: fiber good. Better with protein and fat. Skinny pop. Better than fresh popcorn still corn though Grapes are sugar bombs Kefir: potent for micro biome Teriyaki sauce is sugar. Careful with the sauces. Oatmeal: just starch. Add chia flaxseed nuts, let it cool have protein before it. Proteins, fibers, fats are great dampeners of glucose spikes.
Great interview, Jessie made it fun. Imagine if kids learned this stuff in elementary school, instead of some of the nonsense we were taught in school, and is still being taught like the food pyramid.
Love Jessie!! Not all calories are equal. Those rice cakes are a fat storing food BUT a low calorie food. Understanding food composition is incredibly important to your health.
Who eats a plain rice cake?? If you put nut butter on it, it shouldn't spike your sugar. Rice cake has only 6 carbs, as opposed to a slice of bread which has about 20 carbs.
Sadly, medical professionals are not keeping pace with the dangers of sugar. I used to work at a chemotherapy clinic. The first thing they offered patients after treatment was juice and cookies. Cancer cells feed off of sugar.
Regarding white potatoes, I found a very effective way to blunt the immediate effect on blood sugar: cut potato into small strips, then soak them in the cold water with a tb vinegar in it for a few minutes, drain water off and rinse them, this way will help a lot of starch been taken off. I usually stir fry them with a little bit apple cider vinegar & Baggs Aminos Liquid ( Organic soy sauce)/or salt, and garnish with chopped green onions on top. They are crunch and delicious. and doesn't spike my blood sugar.
People on dialysis are told to soak their potatoes to leach out the potassium before cooking. Just as an occasional treat. It also leaches out some of the starches.
Haven't potatoes got fibre In? Supposed to make a difference if you eat fibre before a meal or with it. Add some fibre or a tbsp of vinegar diluted before you eat. Stops the spike from sugar or starch.
Thanks very much. I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago and although it’s come down just on diet changes I was having lots of oats and oat milk. Thanks very much for alerting me.
Yes the oat milk is obvious once she explains it. But we just startedbusing a lot too 😅 whoopsie! The oat milk manufacturers also use an enzyme to convert some of the starch into sugar.
2 years ago I lost #50 by stop eating breakfast cereal and switched to having hot drink, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey and teaspoon lemon juice. Also a protein shake. Now I'm trying to cut out sugar and cut carbs. Thanks for your info.
@@hoboonwheels9289 diluting it with water is easier on teeth and stomach. E.g. 1 teaspoon in a full glass of water is less harsh that taking it like a shot. Continued health to you- whether or not ACV is part of your protocols.
Only simple (processed) carbohydrates are unhealthy. Complex carbohydrates are very healthy with vitamins, minerals, fibre and it's the brain's main source of fuel.
Wow! I learned so much from this video. Maybe some information might be too much to digest for some people, but every single info that both Thomas and Jessie mentioned were so so helpful in making us understand how our body works and how food works FOR our body. You guys are great!
They should put the glycemic index of on the labels of all packaged food products. It’s just as important as the number of calories. Another thing about sweet potatoes, is if you boil them, instead of bake them, it brings down the glycemic index quite a bit.
@@zialamonde yes, after the molecule recrystallizes, the structure becomes more stable. Anyway, it's usefull only to blunt the immediate effect on blood sugar, because the starch molecule takes more time to be broken down into glucose (and it needs more caloric input for the digestion, hence it takes away from the caloric load) , but most of the sugar will be absorbed - just more gradually. It is useful for type 2 diabetics, because their immediate response to glucose is dysregulated (phase 1 insulin secretion). For weight loss purposes it doesn't make much difference, neither does the glycemic index, better look at glycemic load or insulin index of foods. Hope it was helpful 😊

I bake all my sweet potatoes at once & keep them in the fridge - grab 1 & b/c it’s too much effort to warm them, I eat it cold… I thought I was being lazy, & here, I’ve been doing it right all along!
Bananas are berries. They are the fruit that grows from the largest herbaceous plant. Bananas have been domesticated for thousands of years, and the original seeded bananas are still in existence, I had one growing in my own yard. The burro banana is like an ancestral banana without seeds.
Burro Bananas .. 🤔 Never ate one. Never heard abt them. How did you come across them, if I may ask. The bananas in the #Carib used to be abt 3" - 4" in the 1970s & BUT R rare to find in U.S. Supermarkets today. Most fruit is bred to be so sweet rn, they literally R on the same level as a dessert or .. candy. Yikes! ✌🏾💜
@@cruzpaez8047 Buy your bananas as green as you like them for eating - keep them in the fridge - don't bruise them. The skin of the banana will go eventually black but the fruit inside will stay as you bought them & will last a looong time like that in the fridge. I've been doing this for a few months now so I know it works. Experiment with 1 banana, check the difference between that 1 & what is kept on your counter. ( :
Each person has their own individual response to foods…the only way to know which ones make you spike is to use a permanent glucometer and test your responses. This can also change over time so it’s good to check it every few years. Anyone can do this, you don’t need to be diabetic to become familiar with your personal response.
I agree that everyone has different responses to foods. I am currently using a glucometer to test before and after meals to see what is spiking my glucose throughout the day and tracking it on Excel spreadsheet. I am seeing that atm that if a fruit or vegetable is more ripe (eg berries and mangos) , the more sugar it contains therefore spikes my glucose. Certain varieties of mangos (Kensington Pride) are more sweet and therefore more sugar, than Calypso mango variety. Even super sweet and ripe red strawberries spike my glucose more than raspberries which are more tart.
But don't you need to take your blood? I was searching that to get one but I am afraid of pricking myself with a needle.. it can hurt over time and there's more possibility of infections
@@reaching_eng The glucometer you can buy from the pharmacy. You dont need to take blood , just prick your finger. You are meant to change fingers each day so you dont prick the same finger over and over. Prick the sides of fingers too not in the same area to reduce sensitivity. You need to wash your hands before and after testing
Them energetically nerd-ing together was great. I learned some more specifics about nutrition in simple terms from this video. Very effective collaboration! 😊👍
I think it would be good to clarify the difference between eating fat with carbs verses fat slowing the insulin spikes of sugars and starches. Amazing video, managing glucose has helped my health dramatically over this past year and a half.
"I think it would be good to clarify the difference between eating fat with carbs verses fat slowing the insulin spikes of sugars and starches." Go listen to Bart Kay or Paul Mason.
The organic rice cakes have only 8 grams of carbs. If you have one with nut butter, I don't think it will spike your sugar. It's still better than a slice of bread with 20 gr of carbs.!!
On the subject of the temp of a sweet potato, in the scheme of your whole diet , I would enjoy a half hot sweet potato and who cares if it moves your insulin a tiny amount!!!!
Very entertaining. Just a few notes: * While raw white potatoes are nasty, raw sweet potatoes taste a lot like raw carrot sticks. * Raw plantains can be sliced, deyhydrated, put through a blender and then a fine sieve to make plantain flour. This can be used like green banana flour but is MUCH CHEAPER.
Green plaintain can be steam with the skin intact, or just cut a slit to make it easier to cook. Taste like sweet potatoes. If ripe, then taste sweet n more flavourful
@@lillianphua7629 I prefer the green ones that are not sweet. I also like them blended smooth, which really needs a high speed blender. I dehydrate them, turn them into a powder, and then sift out the seeds. One part plantain flour, two parts water, 1/2 tsp salt, and butter or other fat, simmer until thick, takes just a few minutes.
@@stephanielane1821 I'm not sure evolution had any intention on that. I have in fact known people who snacked on potato pieces as a child in their kitchen.
Nut milks are so easy to make. Soak a quarter cup of nuts overnight, drain and rinse. Then blend with one cup water. Depending on how you prefer the consistency, you may want to add extra water, but you'll soon figure it all out.
Nut milks are extremely horrible for you. Almonds are full of oxalates. Peanuts and Cashews have aflatoxins and fungus. If you want to destroy your health consume nuts and seeds.
Thank you for this simple recipe. I want to try almond and sunflower amd maybe a little sesame as a milk. We just shifted from almond to oat because the tetrapack almond tastes weird. Whoopsie! Also escaping using so many tetrapaks would be nice
One of my long term favs with one of my new found favs. I learned about Jessie around a week ago and now she seems to be everywhere (and rightfully so!). Or maybe the YT algorithm is actually doing it's job (nah, couldn't possibly be that)
Please make more videos like this with more natural foods and food products. I learned so much I had no idea from this video. I loved how the two of you broke it down even to a molecular level and how eating something’s cooled vs heated can be better or not. Love this video definitely need to make more for us.
Yes! Eat kiwi skin. Just slice your kiwis very thin, after rinsing. You’ll never know you’re eating the fuzz and it’s got the important stuff! Thomas, you should do a whole video on kiwi skin 🎉

You can add nut butter to your fruit to reduce the insulin spike make sure your nut butter is just the nut and maybe a touch of salt. Question for you what is you take on blackberries I like blackberries more than blueberries my go to is raspberry and blueberries. Your response is greatly appreciated
Mixing easy over eggs or Greek Yougurt with Oatmeal I've found is a good way to limit sugar spikes! Also spraying a little vinegar onto potatoes, rice, sweet pot, pasta works at reducing spikes also! I started spraying vinegar on a lot of foods now along with using lemon on others, which I happen to like the taste!
I have organic rolled oats with 2 tbs of ground flax seed and 2 tbs of protein powder. I also add one tsp of tumeric and 1/2 tsp of Celon cinnamon. I mix it with hemp milk and i eat it cold. Not cooked. It's a little chewy but not bad. The protein and eating it cold slows digestion. I have been having this for the last six week and i feel better. I am not hungry until around 1pm i no longer crave snacks in the afternoon. I think i may have lot a pound or two.
The ooatmeal is for fiber. I have added saurkraut and greek yogurt every other day and a little Kifer every day for good gut microbes. My body processes sugars better now.
I like to overnight mine in slightly watered down yoghurt rather than milk, the texture is a lot firmer that way, and with chia seeds added in also. Quick and easy to prep, a fuck of a lot quicker than babysitting a pot of oatmeal porridge, too, as comforting as a good pot of pumpkin oat porridge can be. When I take it out in the morning I let it sit out for a bit so it's not ice cold to eat, and while I've got a nice thing of protein and fat anyway, top it with a small stone fruit or some berries.

I love this woman! Her aggregation of meta-studies when it comes to metabolism and blood glucose has been invaluable for me as a type 2 diabetic (who isn't even obese, I'm a 5ft8 male 155 lbs 18-20% BF). I learned about the optimal "order of operations" in terms of when you should eat various macronutrients that make up a balanced meal. Adding Apple-cider vinegar to water before meals and most importantly to be active 20-30 minutes after a meal (such as going for a 20-30 minute walk).
@stefdiazdiaz7067 Nah, I'm not dropping non-starch veggies, full fat dairy, selected fruit (berries, avocado, lemon/lime). You can stick to your meat only diet. Enjoy.
I am glad that I never even consider buying almost all the items you have shown us, except the oatmeal and the apple cider vinegar. For snack, I buy fresh and dried fruits (even when they are not all healthy for pre-diabetic like me). The oatmeal I buy is just plane that comes in a clear bag, and with nothing added. I eat it for breakfast because I don't want drink my coffee with an empty stomach and it helps me go to the bathroom. The key is to add other seeds and eat only small amount. I generally just don't buy anything in a box or a bottle with list of ingredients. The clever misleading labels and advertising does not work on me. 99% of my groceries come from the farmers markets. Eggs, milk and coffee is all I get from the supermarkets.
Thanks for the details on these foods. 1) Overnight oats.. with whatever is popular in them ..are they any healthier ? I don't like the "raw" flour taste nor texture but wonder is it good or bad when not cooked but only softened. 2) Kefir is less sour when I first open the bottle so can I freeze kefir in ice cube portions to keep it from fermenting more and more and not change the taste or texture? I stop buying them because it takes me too long to finish a bottle and then it gets too sour for me. Can I substitute kefir for acv .. to slow the absorbtion of ..sugars in food or lower the insulin spike ? 3) What's the nutritional benefits of bananas that's not found in other fruits? thx
Thanks for this one... We grow and eat what we grow. It is such hard work, but gives exercise and huge healthy eating benefits. It including two varieties of sweet potatoes, which when cured properly and smothered in Ghee are likely illegal. I have been eating healthy keto after starting on a restricted keto in the beginning. Health is everything!
Jessie is a specialist in blood sugar and insulin peaks, but we have other two villains regarding body inflammation: gluten and beta-casein (dairy milk protein). Than we have another long-term trigger of chronic disease which is latent metabolic acidosis of the interstitial fluid. This condition makes cell metabolism go rogue (oxygen has difficulty in getting inside the cell, and the interstitial fluid becomes very similar to ` "latrine like" fluid bathing the cell. A diet more on the alkaline side is also vey important for long term health. The person that has carried out more research on acidosis of interstitial fluid and its relation to chronic disease and cancer is Dr. Robert. Odham Young!
Get outta here. I'm fine with gluten (the boogeyman for white women in California) and been drinking whey protein shakes for years. Everyone's different, no "one way magic fix it" for all people.
Eating is so stressful. For a mum that’s trying to prevent her daughter’s insulin levels spiking on a daily basis I never understood what I can and can’t feed her. I’ve been given so much ‘incorrect’ information from pediatritians, dietitians, dr’s . I’m not sure who’s actually intentionally trying to help us and who is trying to harm us and makes us sicker. ‘Good’ food is not necessarily’good’ for our bodies . As overwhelming as this information that your sharing is. Thankyou for your advice .
I have thyroid problems, can't eat very healthy food like spinach, cabbage, broccoli, etc, so I know what you mean. And when it's your kid, it must be really hard. I also have prediabetes, so eat mainly meat and a few veggies and fruit (and probiotic capsules, they've been a life savior together with the diet), only meat has always been good to me, even though I actually prefer not to eat it.
Actually Manuka honey isn't the only honey with solid benefits...if you have bad seasonal allergies you should teaspoon local honey. I know multiple people now who have seen huge reduction in allergies(better than any pill) from this method. 😉
This is one big nutrition TRUTH bomb! My head is exploding with all the bad knowledge I've been carrying all these years. I've been so lied to for so long! THANK YOU!
At least in Finland we've been going to the forest to pick blueberries since we were kids in the late summer - they taste a lot better in my opinion than the watery bush blueberries that are farmed. :)
This video is exactly the type of education needed by the medical fraternity and in fact, anyone who is serious about their health status. I have Jessie's book and it's been a game changer for me. The recipes are delicious, quick and easy to prepare. There's nothing worse than being faced with recipes with a long list of ingredients. Jessie has skilfully developed recipes using a limited amount of ingredients with the maximum flavour benefit. Ive lost 7kgs using her advice and expertise. I also subscribe to Jessie's monthly recipe club which is marvellous. So, no excuses for unwise dietary choices. I have rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitus. Jessie's nutritional plan has decreased my inflammation to such a degree, that I can jog in the park with my dog again as well as doing other firms of cardio exercise, and I'm back to my resistance training using a variety of equipment like dumbbells, bands, kettle bell etc. Thanks Jessie.

I make overnight steel cut oats in a hydro flask food container. Have been putting some lentils in with it (something I learned from a baby food cookbook). I put in chia, flax, and walnuts. One batch lasts 2 days. I work a job where I'm on my feet and working 8 hours. I like having carbs to start my day, so I know I have the calories and energy to get me through. I don't do good if I don't keep up with the calories.
I just go by what my glucose meter reading is saying is safe for me.Thru testing I have found that there are foods that other diabetics shouldn’t eat that I can and vice versa. It’s not one size fits all. So I always use other peoples list as a guideline not something that necessarily holds true for me.
32:50 Contrary to what logic would tell you, "wild blueberries" only refers to the variety of the berries, not how they've grown. Unfortunately, most frozen wild blueberries you will find in grocery stores were not harvested in nature, they were cultivated in mass with pesticides just like regular (aka Highbush) blueberries. That's why you have to buy them organic even if it says "Wild" on the packaging. But yes, pesticides or not the "wild" variety has a lower sugar content, more fibers, and more flavonoids.
The province of Québec is one of the largest producers of Wild Organic Blueberries (QWB) 200 million pounds/year, in the world followed by Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The 49th parallel or the Saguenay region (northern part of the province where the soil is very dry, poor and acidic with low organic material and the winters are 7 months long with temps down to -45C. I have an uncle who has been cultivating the Boreal and Polar Star wild blueberry varieties all his life and 90% of them are organic and fertilized by his bee colonies every spring. Here we cannot name a blueberry wild if it is not grown from original ground hugging wild blueberry plants in the boreal region of the province. I have eaten them all my life, the cultivated larger bush hybrid blueberries are tasteless to me.
I drink a lot of oat milk but I've never been under the impression it's that healthy. It's highly processed and sweet tasting and lots of calories. I just like it a lot.
What about over night oats? Those are made with milk and yogurt and refrigerated overnight. Is the effect similar to what you were speaking about in the video? Would that not be as bad for glucose spikes?
I’ve only watched a few of Thomas’ shows and was always meh on his knowledge but Jessie was able to pull that knowledge from Thomas and he was shining brightly in this episode. I thought I knew a lot about food but both of you expanded my brain a lot. Thank you for this episode.
My dad is 68 years old and works with me 5 days a week mid to hard labor he's past nutrition was beans rice and cheese or eggs . That guy at he's 50 had more strength than me at my 20s
Perfect option for a buckwheat flour would be a French Galette. It's a thin pancake with topping of your choice often with, ham, mushrooms, egg, cheese, walnuts. It's delicious!
What I'm hearing and translating from every single doctor, every single specialist, every single nutritionist. Don't eat or drink anything but water. Got it. I knew I was right as a child. I'm not worthy of food. My mother was right to not feed me. Here I thought I was neglected but turns out she was doing me a favor.
Lot of lectins from squash, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, lentils, beans, legumes, peas, grain, etc. Cooking on high heat in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes with boiling water and pressure will kill many lectins. Same with rice - which should be frozen for 18 hours and then reheated prior to consuming it for resistant starch (same with potatoes)
@@Shiv1971 reaistant starch is a joke and anyone who has ever teated their blood glucose after eating cold potatoes and rice know this. There is only 3 grams of resistant starch in 100 grams of rice or potatoes. Its a colossal lie that has a life of its own with all these diet gurus.
Thank you for such information. Highly appreciated. Any idea about monk fruit sugar? A diabetic patient uses it as he believes that it is a natural sweetener not adversely affecting his blood sugar.
Wonderful talk on the glucose subject. Weird though since I was cutting up strawberries and having homemade whipped cream minus the massive sugar. I didn't know about fats and how they did that with glucose. I eat higher fats to control my seizures, and it works for me most of the time. If I have something low fat and it has even a small amount of sugar, it sends me into a glucose spike like you wouldn't believe. I'm mostly carnivore now due to that, but it is increasingly difficult to find foods, even meats, without some form of starch or sugar.
It seems to me if you want that to work you'd want to eat grass fed, pastured animals, not ones fed corn, because the nutrient quality in those meats is vastly different than factory ag
@DamianBloodstone That's sad🥹 about your state's EBT. People with health issues and disabilities are in a position to pay more because we need healthier (i.e., organic, non-toxic) food. With inflation, increasing numbers of people need food assistance. I hope things will improve, and your needs will soon be met, Damien. 🙏 Namaste.
Keto diet was developed to help prevent seizures, so there's definitely evidence that avoiding glucose has an effect on them. I followed it for years due to my chronic migraines, and it's so expensive. My country would rather give me free meds instead of low cost good quality food.
Research about Berberine ( regarding sugar) Reseach I mean. Do not run to buy anything without first making sure it could be good to you. It would be ideal in case you would buy, it to buy it from a vegan/ vegetarian store so that they explain goodness or less goodness in it. I am not recommending anything because I am not a health professional, just sharing something Ive seen running around related to that theme. Sending healing thoughts and wishes your way! 😊
This is such an informative video - thank you for putting it together. I'm usually at logger heads with my diabetes nurse, she lives by the guidelines set down by this country's health officials, and it's all wrong. As I said to her - if you have an allergy to peanuts you're not going to try and cure it with peanuts, so why try and cure what is essentially an allergy to sugar with sugar - and that means carbs too. She didn't know what to say. Also, soaking your potatoes in cold water for approx an hour before cooking also helps break down starches. I had read somewhere (sorry I can't find the info to back this up) but cook your potatoes, let them go cold in the fridge, then reheat thoroughly to reduce the starch even more. Has anyone else heard of this method?
well there's always gooseberries. I'm sure they have been modified too but they are still pretty low in sugar for a fruit. Unfortunately they are not easy to find by me.
Great overview of these foods. I was diagnosed type 2 (initially the doc was 100% sure I was type 1) and had a really tough time to start figuring out what to eat. Videos like this would be so helpful, and still are. Will follow Jesse for sure, too.
@@Lolipop59 toast - listen to Jesse! Dress your carbs. Maybe avocado toast or peanut butter but not solo! You're setting yourself up for a glucose spike
@dita4911 I had a nutrionist and they told me my levels and knowledge was good enough that I didn't need her advice any longer. I do have a small amount of carbs a day.
@@betsyc6055 Ugh . I didn't mean a solo toast for God sake. Who the hell eats a toast by itself ? I was talking about an example and promt the guy to look for a specialized endocrinologist to learn what can he or she eat. . You Tube should not be your doctor . I said that too ,so noone should eat a toast or a potato without the consent of their doctor. And by the way , potatoe should not be eaten alone too. But who eats a potato whithout butter or oil ? Ugh.
Kefir and kombucha are easy to ferment at home. Don't get suckered into store-bought. Also, what about overnight old-fashioned oats in coconut milk (with chia seeds, berries, and nuts) soaked overnight in the refrigerator? Healthier way to ingest oats, or not?
My recommendation is drinking a glass of water mixed with 10 grams of psyllium husks before every meal for ultimate glucose level stability. Apply all other recommendations (like food order) as well.
I love her!!! This does get very confusing though... Like the "honey having the same amount of antioxidants as HALF a blueberry!" And making sure we're not using foods we "think" are good for us, but actually aren't. How in the world would we find that out??? Mixing the flours? This is all sooooo confusing! I do want her book. But then I need like real life practical ways to live out the information, because it all gets very overwhelming to be honest. 🤔
I'd love to hear you discuss her hacks with her.. Because you've always been a big proponent of "protein first" to reduce spikes.. she's a big proponent of "fiber first" to reduce spikes! Which leads me to believe that as long as I have my healthy protein, fats and fiber first.. it will help calm down a spike regardless.. say if I was to have my berries for dessert!
@@lindaparadis7154 same here! Thomas has always said protein first but Jesse says veggies then protein then fats then carbs. I always just have a big leafy green salad with nuts, seeds, avocado and cottage cheese with EVOO & balsamic vinegar. Then I follow up with my main meal of a meat, veggie, and carbs last. It’s been working for me so far but what do I know 😂

I lived in Africa from birth to my mid 20's. The food there was harder, grainy, everything we bought from the Market was something we had to cook at home. We had to grind wheat, barley, sorghum, seeds we bought to make bread. When I came to the US I found the food very delicious, eating out was the norm, snacking all the time, and then I saw all this premade food, so good, so yummy. Then I gained 50 lbs and got diagnosed with pre diabetes in 3 years.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
01:54 *🥛 Oat milk can cause a significant glucose spike due to its high starch content, even without added sugars.*
03:33 *🌰 Almond milk is a preferable alternative to oat milk as it has lower carbs and can help manage glucose levels.*
04:31 *🥛 Whole milk from good quality sources is a better option than skim milk, and for plant-based choices, nut-based milk is preferable to grain-based ones.*
06:26 *🍝 Brown rice pasta, despite being gluten-free, can cause a significant glucose spike similar to white rice. Cassava or lentil pasta is a better alternative.*
08:09 *🥣 Granola can be high in sugars, making it essential to balance breakfast with protein and fats, such as adding full-fat yogurt and nuts.*
10:40 *🍞 Buckwheat flour is a lower-calorie option with decent fiber content compared to almond flour, offering a good balance for glucose-conscious baking.*
13:01 *🍏 Choose pure apple cider vinegar over flavored versions with added sugars to benefit from its glucose-regulating properties.*
14:23 *🍯 When using honey, opt for small amounts, and be aware that its antioxidant benefits are not significantly higher than those found in half a blueberry.*
15:46 *🍯 Consider bee pollen for honey benefits with fewer carbs.*
16:17 *🍚 Rice cakes, despite low-calorie count, can cause a significant spike in blood sugar due to their high glycemic index.*
17:55 *🍠 Sweet potatoes are nutritionally richer than regular potatoes, and their impact on blood sugar can improve when cooled down.*
18:53 *🥔 Letting potatoes cool down changes their glycemic index, especially with sweet potatoes having more resistant starch.*
21:08 *🌱 Resistant starch has significant benefits for the microbiome, producing short-chain fatty acids that enhance glucose and fatty acid metabolism.*
22:32 *🍅 Marinara sauce may seem innocent, but the concentrated sugars, even if not added, can contribute to a glucose spike.*
24:54 *🍌 Green bananas, though not as sweet, contain resistant starch that ferments in the gut, promoting beneficial bacteria.*
26:03 *🍓 Whole fruits like strawberries, despite being selectively bred, offer fiber that helps reduce glucose spikes.*
28:35 *🫐 Berries, especially raspberries, contain tannins that act as alpha-amylase inhibitors, potentially reducing the impact on blood sugar.*
32:46 *🍇 Wild blueberries have about half the sugar of regular blueberries; frozen blueberries maintain antioxidant profile well.*
34:11 *🍿 Bagged popcorn, like Skinny Pop, has some retrograded starch, making it a better option than hot, fresh popcorn.*
35:19 *🌰 Opt for seed-based snacks like crackers with sesame, linseeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds for a healthier alternative.*
36:18 *🍇 Grapes, especially raisins, are selectively bred to be extra sweet; consume in moderation, ideally after a meal.*
38:12 *🥤 Kefir has a potent probiotic effect; consume a few tablespoons with fruit for added benefits to your microbiome.*
39:34 *🥫 Be cautious with sauces like teriyaki; one tablespoon can contain as much sugar as pure cane sugar, impacting your carb intake.*
40:31 *🥣 Instant oatmeal with added flavorings contains sugars and starches, making it less suitable for a protein-rich breakfast; opt for whole oatmeal and add chia, flaxseed, and nuts for a healthier choice.*
42:36 *🌰 To enhance oatmeal, add chia, flaxseed, and nuts, and let it cool to become a resistant starch; grinding flaxseed fresh is optimal for maximum benefit.*

Jessie's science and advice has literally saved my life. I was considered morbidly obese, suffering from water retention in my legs and even got into diabetic sugar levels. It's been 3 months and I've lost 12.5kg and the water retention is easing up. I feel so much healthier, happier and more in control of my health than ever before.
Adding the science and advice from Thomas also (like the walking & level 2 exercising, macadamia nuts, saturated fats etc) this has radically changed my lifestyle for the better.

Both very well educated and 100% correct about everything - what makes this an exceptional video to watch is the professionalism and respect they have for each other.
They both know all this, yet they take turns being genuinely interested in what the other has to say, as if it’s new information to them.
Neither of them act as a know-it-all, they both add value to each other.
A really enjoyable to watch.
I wouldn't agree with all! Some food is not for humans unless taken properly, for example, oats.
She is a great communicator. Thomas speaks too much but she goes straight to the point without playing around the bushes. I like her style a lot!!
I like them both, but I appreciate her bringing him back to the conversation regarding calories. He has a wealth of information which I appreciate and they're both communicating learned info differently

@@cynthiacrespin2061 ❤
I’ve worked in an NHS mental health hospital for several years now and it never ceases to amaze me the appalling lack of knowledge and awareness medical professionals such as doctors and nurses have when it comes to the link between nutrition and health. The dementia and neuropsychiatry wards are particularly bad where patients who have fasting bloods of 7- 8, and after eating 12-13 is seen as normal and of no concern.
I find it ironic that diabetic patients (which there are many) are not allowed to have sugar in their drinks but yet are permitted to eat as much toast, beans, potato, cereal, pasta, rice as they like. I once voiced my concerns about this with a senior nurse, who simply shrugged her shoulders whilst telling me there’s very little sugar in bread, rice or pasta so it was fine. I couldn’t believe this highly experienced nurse didn’t have a clue how carbs are processed in the body. For a second, I was tempted to inform her that these carbs are converted into glucose by the liver causing huge blood sugar and insulin spikes. I thought better of it. My words would’ve almost certainly fallen on deaf ears.
Just the other week I witnessed a nurse encouraging a diabetic patient to eat some toast before they go to bed as their bloods were too low 5.8. I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. After the toast her bloods shot up to 12! The nurse was happy with this and allowed her to go to bed.
Many patients are encouraged to eat three meals per day plus snacks and supper which include pudding after every meal (usually cake and custard). toast, and copious amounts of biscuits. Many patients who’s bloods are too low (5-6 range) for their insulin shots are encouraged to eat several biscuits so they can get their shot.
Patients who refuse meals as they’re simply NOT HUNGRY are regularly bullied into submission and virtually force fed. Nurses and staff go into a blind panic thinking that missing a meal or two will somehow have a detrimental effect. For those who don’t cave into the pressure it’s not long before the Ensures (full of sugar) are being pushed upon them. It’s a farce.
As a result of this appalling lack of understanding around nutrition many patients pile on the weight, and their condition deteriorates rapidly. Many patients are on a whole cocktail of drugs which seem to have very little positive effect whatsoever. In fact, I’m convinced many suffer detrimental side effects as a result.
This is an NHS hospital where patients are supposed to come to get better. It’ a sad state of affairs! What the heck is going on!?
The NHS is in a bad way but thank you for being one of the nurses who researches and tries to make a positive impact. I hope that science can change the way the system is run here one day. I have patient access so i can see i have been in pre diabetic stage for some time possibly due to graves disease. The GPs have not even informed me of either, i have discovered this by my own research of my tests. Doing your own research in this country to learn how best to prevent is imperative. We are lucky to have such resources online, i am grateful.
i am sad that you have witnessed these things. Although I can see you are caring and responsible in your approach to nutrition, your comment simply underlines for me that NHS no longer stands for National Health SERVICE but now needs to be renamed National Health SHAMBLES.
Wow. Nothing suprises me coming from the "medical healrh" gangsters.
Wow, this is shocking! 😳 I can’t believe the foods they’re fed! 😱 Wonder if it’s because they just don’t care even though they might have the knowledge that those foods are the worst for those patients? Either way, I’m very shocked at the kinds of foods that are served. It’s sad that they can’t get out. 😢
Is NHS the publicly funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom?
"Sugar in the first 5 ingredients, it's basically dessert.." Words to live by.
That makes no sense. Say you have a gallon size bowl of oatmeal and add a small pinch of sugar. That makes it dessert? It's more complicated than that.
@@lindahorstmann6036 It probably is. I'm pretty sure that the ingredients on most portion pack, pre-packaged foods are listed in order of prevalence in the recipe somehow. So the most prevalent is first, and so on. I also think that if I was capable of eating a gallon of oats as one serving size, I'd have bigger problems than worrying about my blood sugar. There's probably some relationship to a common, reasonably sized pre-packaged food portion and its mass or volumetric proprtion of sugar to the first ingredient. Just a guess though.
@@lindahorstmann6036I think she's talking about prepackaged, processed foods with multiple ingredients

Another thing you can do is fast in the morning and exercise. I never eat before noon. And never eat after 7 pm. I have no health issues. I eat normal food quantities. My weight has stayed at 165 lbs. For 25 years. Never change. Also, stay off drugs and don't drink alcohol. If you want to be healthy. That's all
I use pumpkin seed flour because I have histamine intolerance and don’t eat nuts. It makes things green, but is the same consistency as almond flour. Pumpkin seeds are also high in magnesium and potassium:)
Sounds extremely healthy
Not to mention zinc. I've seen rats go crazy over pumpkin seeds.
Seeds are by design the most toxic parts of the plant. Plants produce toxins so animals and insects don’t eat their seeds so they can reproduce. It’s in any botany course you take. It’s there biological way to protect themselves from predators.
What a good idea! Never thought of that.
I'm also suffering from Histamine intolerance and that doesn't mean nuts have to be off the table. There's histamine intolerance and food allergies, two different things. Nuts are dangerous to people who are allergic but most nuts are actually low in histamine so as long as you're not allergic, nuts are ok to eat.

I see Jessie and hit thumbs up immediately. She's so fun, spontaneous, and knowledgeable. Amazing person
Totally, and she doesn't aim to kill my enjoyment of food, big thumbs up!!
She makes my blood sugar levels go up. In a good way.
Summary:
Milk: nut milk or full fat with almonds or exercise
Pasta: cassava lentil or chickpea but with protein fat and veggies prior
Granola oats: with full fat yogurt and nut butter (protein)
Buckwheat: decent because of fiber but almond flour is good too. Mix alternative flours.
Apple cider vinegar ≠ acv drink blends
Coconut sugar is still sugar. Not really low glycemic.
Rice cakes: super spiker. It’s a no.
Sweet potato is better because of nutritional value and better when cooled to room temperature and have fiber before.
Marinara has lots of concentrated sugar!
Banana: greener is less sugar and ferments in body
Berries: fiber good. Better with protein and fat.
Skinny pop. Better than fresh popcorn still corn though
Grapes are sugar bombs
Kefir: potent for micro biome
Teriyaki sauce is sugar. Careful with the sauces.
Oatmeal: just starch. Add chia flaxseed nuts, let it cool have protein before it.
Proteins, fibers, fats are great dampeners of glucose spikes.
Thanks a lot..really appreciated

Love Jessie!! Not all calories are equal. Those rice cakes are a fat storing food BUT a low calorie food. Understanding food composition is incredibly important to your health.
Who eats a plain rice cake?? If you put nut butter on it, it shouldn't spike your sugar. Rice cake has only 6 carbs, as opposed to a slice of bread which has about 20 carbs.
Sadly, medical professionals are not keeping pace with the dangers of sugar. I used to work at a chemotherapy clinic. The first thing they offered patients after treatment was juice and cookies. Cancer cells feed off of sugar.
its more about cost and convenience then health. of course they would
They should know better if they are doing that sort of job.
I'm not sure I could work in a place like that knowing what I know now.
Utterly idiotic: knowing that ALL Cancers ARE ALL dependant on glucose/"Sugar"/ obligate sugar eaters/ need sugar.

Regarding white potatoes, I found a very effective way to blunt the immediate effect on blood sugar: cut potato into small strips, then soak them in the cold water with a tb vinegar in it for a few minutes, drain water off and rinse them, this way will help a lot of starch been taken off. I usually stir fry them with a little bit apple cider vinegar & Baggs Aminos Liquid ( Organic soy sauce)/or salt, and garnish with chopped green onions on top. They are crunch and delicious. and doesn't spike my blood sugar.
That and putting them in the fridge overnight, reheating them the next day.
People on dialysis are told to soak their potatoes to leach out the potassium before cooking. Just as an occasional treat. It also leaches out some of the starches.
Potatoes don’t give me any issues not sure why.
Potatoes are starch all the way through.
Haven't potatoes got fibre In? Supposed to make a difference if you eat fibre before a meal or with it. Add some fibre or a tbsp of vinegar diluted before you eat. Stops the spike from sugar or starch.
Thanks very much. I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago and although it’s come down just on diet changes I was having lots of oats and oat milk. Thanks very much for alerting me.
Yes the oat milk is obvious once she explains it. But we just startedbusing a lot too 😅 whoopsie!
The oat milk manufacturers also use an enzyme to convert some of the starch into sugar.
You may watch also Dr Stan Ecberg and Dr Eric Berg channels they both are very good. Diabetes is 100% curable but not for big pharma !

This was so well done, informative, and interesting/fun to watch! Please have her on more often!
Wow! I learned so much from this video. Maybe some information might be too much to digest for some people, but every single info that both Thomas and Jessie mentioned were so so helpful in making us understand how our body works and how food works FOR our body. You guys are great!
They should put the glycemic index of on the labels of all packaged food products. It’s just as important as the number of calories.
Another thing about sweet potatoes, is if you boil them, instead of bake them, it brings down the glycemic index quite a bit.
Singapore is already doing that
@@afiqjohari404me too
actually, if you let them cool down after heat treatment that makes the most difference:starch gelatinization-retrogradation process. look it up 😊
@@kincsolorinczi6420 can you reheat them after cooling them?
@@zialamonde yes, after the molecule recrystallizes, the structure becomes more stable. Anyway, it's usefull only to blunt the immediate effect on blood sugar, because the starch molecule takes more time to be broken down into glucose (and it needs more caloric input for the digestion, hence it takes away from the caloric load) , but most of the sugar will be absorbed - just more gradually. It is useful for type 2 diabetics, because their immediate response to glucose is dysregulated (phase 1 insulin secretion). For weight loss purposes it doesn't make much difference, neither does the glycemic index, better look at glycemic load or insulin index of foods. Hope it was helpful 😊

I bake all my sweet potatoes at once & keep them in the fridge - grab 1 & b/c it’s too much effort to warm them, I eat it cold… I thought I was being lazy, & here, I’ve been doing it right all along!
Bananas are berries. They are the fruit that grows from the largest herbaceous plant. Bananas have been domesticated for thousands of years, and the original seeded bananas are still in existence, I had one growing in my own yard. The burro banana is like an ancestral banana without seeds.
Burro Bananas .. 🤔 Never ate one. Never heard abt them. How did you come across them, if I may ask. The bananas in the #Carib used to be abt 3" - 4" in the 1970s & BUT R rare to find in U.S. Supermarkets today. Most fruit is bred to be so sweet rn, they literally R on the same level as a dessert or .. candy. Yikes! ✌🏾💜
@@cruzpaez8047 Buy your bananas as green as you like them for eating - keep them in the fridge - don't bruise them. The skin of the banana will go eventually black but the fruit inside will stay as you bought them & will last a looong time like that in the fridge. I've been doing this for a few months now so I know it works. Experiment with 1 banana, check the difference between that 1 & what is kept on your counter. ( :
Each person has their own individual response to foods…the only way to know which ones make you spike is to use a permanent glucometer and test your responses. This can also change over time so it’s good to check it every few years. Anyone can do this, you don’t need to be diabetic to become familiar with your personal response.
I agree that everyone has different responses to foods. I am currently using a glucometer to test before and after meals to see what is spiking my glucose throughout the day and tracking it on Excel spreadsheet. I am seeing that atm that if a fruit or vegetable is more ripe (eg berries and mangos) , the more sugar it contains therefore spikes my glucose. Certain varieties of mangos (Kensington Pride) are more sweet and therefore more sugar, than Calypso mango variety. Even super sweet and ripe red strawberries spike my glucose more than raspberries which are more tart.
But don't you need to take your blood? I was searching that to get one but I am afraid of pricking myself with a needle.. it can hurt over time and there's more possibility of infections
@@reaching_eng The glucometer you can buy from the pharmacy. You dont need to take blood , just prick your finger. You are meant to change fingers each day so you dont prick the same finger over and over. Prick the sides of fingers too not in the same area to reduce sensitivity. You need to wash your hands before and after testing
Them energetically nerd-ing together was great. I learned some more specifics about nutrition in simple terms from this video. Very effective collaboration! 😊👍
I think it would be good to clarify the difference between eating fat with carbs verses fat slowing the insulin spikes of sugars and starches. Amazing video, managing glucose has helped my health dramatically over this past year and a half.
"I think it would be good to clarify the difference between eating fat with carbs verses fat slowing the insulin spikes of sugars and starches." Go listen to Bart Kay or Paul Mason.
The organic rice cakes have only 8 grams of carbs. If you have one with nut butter, I don't think it will spike your sugar. It's still better than a slice of bread with 20 gr of carbs.!!
On the subject of the temp of a sweet potato, in the scheme of your whole diet , I would enjoy a half hot sweet potato and who cares if it moves your insulin a tiny amount!!!!
You cannot have everything in a podcast . You have here some foods that spike glucose. That is the subject.
@@Lolipop59 They could mention it briefly. It's not so complicated.
Thank you for supporting South African farmers!!
Ga usa peaches no better than south africa!
Thank you for supporting SA farmers. I know they truly appreciate you.
Very entertaining. Just a few notes:
* While raw white potatoes are nasty, raw sweet potatoes taste a lot like raw carrot sticks.
* Raw plantains can be sliced, deyhydrated, put through a blender and then a fine sieve to make plantain flour. This can be used like green banana flour but is MUCH CHEAPER.
Green plaintain can be steam with the skin intact, or just cut a slit to make it easier to cook. Taste like sweet potatoes. If ripe, then taste sweet n more flavourful
@@lillianphua7629 I prefer the green ones that are not sweet. I also like them blended smooth, which really needs a high speed blender. I dehydrate them, turn them into a powder, and then sift out the seeds. One part plantain flour, two parts water, 1/2 tsp salt, and butter or other fat, simmer until thick, takes just a few minutes.
You are not meant to eat uncooked potato
@@stephanielane1821 I'm not sure evolution had any intention on that. I have in fact known people who snacked on potato pieces as a child in their kitchen.
Nut milks are so easy to make. Soak a quarter cup of nuts overnight, drain and rinse. Then blend with one cup water. Depending on how you prefer the consistency, you may want to add extra water, but you'll soon figure it all out.
Nut milks are extremely horrible for you. Almonds are full of oxalates. Peanuts and Cashews have aflatoxins and fungus. If you want to destroy your health consume nuts and seeds.
Thank you for this simple recipe. I want to try almond and sunflower amd maybe a little sesame as a milk. We just shifted from almond to oat because the tetrapack almond tastes weird. Whoopsie!
Also escaping using so many tetrapaks would be nice
Very expensive though.
Fascinating hearing these two experts share their knowledge!
One of my long term favs with one of my new found favs. I learned about Jessie around a week ago and now she seems to be everywhere (and rightfully so!). Or maybe the YT algorithm is actually doing it's job (nah, couldn't possibly be that)
Jessie has a very fun energy and great info. She needs a you tube channel.
She has one. She's an author.
Please make more videos like this with more natural foods and food products. I learned so much I had no idea from this video. I loved how the two of you broke it down even to a molecular level and how eating something’s cooled vs heated can be better or not. Love this video definitely need to make more for us.
Yes! Eat kiwi skin. Just slice your kiwis very thin, after rinsing. You’ll never know you’re eating the fuzz and it’s got the important stuff! Thomas, you should do a whole video on kiwi skin 🎉
It's just like a peach, but discard the remains of the stem.
Kiwi is super high in oxalates
Yes, but there is the problem with pesticides. Organic kiwi’s have good skin though.
@@leiladashaJust what I was thinking! Gave up kiwis because of the oxalate overload.
Never eat the skin unless you are certain it is spray free. A lot of pesticides used and they don't wash off
Very interesting video. My doctor said if you indulge do it on strawberries. I add them to cottage cheese for lunch and love it.

I just finished Jessie’s excellent book Glucose Revolution - highly recommend her science based hacks. Great resource.
You can add nut butter to your fruit to reduce the insulin spike make sure your nut butter is just the nut and maybe a touch of salt. Question for you what is you take on blackberries I like blackberries more than blueberries my go to is raspberry and blueberries. Your response is greatly appreciated
Thanks for supporting our farmers here in South Africa 😊
Mixing easy over eggs or Greek Yougurt with Oatmeal I've found is a good way to limit sugar spikes!
Also spraying a little vinegar onto potatoes, rice, sweet pot, pasta works at reducing spikes also!
I started spraying vinegar on a lot of foods now along with using lemon on others, which I happen to like the taste!
Is it apple cider vinegar
Oats spike!
I have organic rolled oats with 2 tbs of ground flax seed and 2 tbs of protein powder. I also add one tsp of tumeric and 1/2 tsp of Celon cinnamon. I mix it with hemp milk
and i eat it cold. Not cooked. It's a little chewy but not bad. The protein and eating it cold slows digestion.
I have been having this for the last six week and i feel better. I am not hungry until around 1pm i no longer crave snacks in the afternoon. I think i may have lot a pound or two.
The ooatmeal is for fiber. I have added saurkraut and greek yogurt every other day and a little Kifer every day for good gut microbes.
My body processes sugars better now.
I like to overnight mine in slightly watered down yoghurt rather than milk, the texture is a lot firmer that way, and with chia seeds added in also. Quick and easy to prep, a fuck of a lot quicker than babysitting a pot of oatmeal porridge, too, as comforting as a good pot of pumpkin oat porridge can be. When I take it out in the morning I let it sit out for a bit so it's not ice cold to eat, and while I've got a nice thing of protein and fat anyway, top it with a small stone fruit or some berries.
Thanks to all who directly support our farmers who are under terrible threat of death by the powers that be. I'm a born and bread South African and I'm saying thank you for your support. ❤

Makes one wonder what went down after the interview 😂
I love this woman! Her aggregation of meta-studies when it comes to metabolism and blood glucose has been invaluable for me as a type 2 diabetic (who isn't even obese, I'm a 5ft8 male 155 lbs 18-20% BF). I learned about the optimal "order of operations" in terms of when you should eat various macronutrients that make up a balanced meal. Adding Apple-cider vinegar to water before meals and most importantly to be active 20-30 minutes after a meal (such as going for a 20-30 minute walk).
should look amber O Hearn
@stefdiazdiaz7067 Nah, I'm not dropping non-starch veggies, full fat dairy, selected fruit (berries, avocado, lemon/lime). You can stick to your meat only diet. Enjoy.
So true. Us that are in shape are pretty alone as most of the solutions only helps people that need to loose weight
I am glad that I never even consider buying almost all the items you have shown us, except the oatmeal and the apple cider vinegar. For snack, I buy fresh and dried fruits (even when they are not all healthy for pre-diabetic like me). The oatmeal I buy is just plane that comes in a clear bag, and with nothing added. I eat it for breakfast because I don't want drink my coffee with an empty stomach and it helps me go to the bathroom. The key is to add other seeds and eat only small amount. I generally just don't buy anything in a box or a bottle with list of ingredients. The clever misleading labels and advertising does not work on me. 99% of my groceries come from the farmers markets. Eggs, milk and coffee is all I get from the supermarkets.
Two REALLY knowledgeable experts who are both great at communicating. Thanks so much!
Finally Thomas interviewing Jessie 🤩 This interview is the best! Thank you guys 🤗
Thanks for the details on these foods. 1) Overnight oats.. with whatever is popular in them ..are they any healthier ? I don't like the "raw" flour taste nor texture but wonder is it good or bad when not cooked but only softened. 2) Kefir is less sour when I first open the bottle so can I freeze kefir in ice cube portions to keep it from fermenting more and more and not change the taste or texture? I stop buying them because it takes me too long to finish a bottle and then it gets too sour for me. Can I substitute kefir for acv .. to slow the absorbtion of ..sugars in food or lower the insulin spike ? 3) What's the nutritional benefits of bananas that's not found in other fruits? thx
Thanks for this one... We grow and eat what we grow. It is such hard work, but gives exercise and huge healthy eating benefits. It including two varieties of sweet potatoes, which when cured properly and smothered in Ghee are likely illegal. I have been eating healthy keto after starting on a restricted keto in the beginning. Health is everything!
This podcast is great ! I love Jessie energy joy and passion ! She's very beautiful inside and outside !
I only drink whole and coconut milk when thirsty. I am thrilled to know this supports what I am doing.
My wife bought her book a month or so ago and has been pestering me to read it. I guess I'll have to now. Great video.
Jessie is a specialist in blood sugar and insulin peaks, but we have other two villains regarding body inflammation: gluten and beta-casein (dairy milk protein). Than we have another long-term trigger of chronic disease which is latent metabolic acidosis of the interstitial fluid. This condition makes cell metabolism go rogue (oxygen has difficulty in getting inside the cell, and the interstitial fluid becomes very similar to ` "latrine like" fluid bathing the cell. A diet more on the alkaline side is also vey important for long term health. The person that has carried out more research on acidosis of interstitial fluid and its relation to chronic disease and cancer is Dr. Robert. Odham Young!
@jb6050.....I was reading your comment thinking, wow he sounds like Dr Young!! Lol. He is amazing!! Been following him for over 20 yrs
Get outta here. I'm fine with gluten (the boogeyman for white women in California) and been drinking whey protein shakes for years. Everyone's different, no "one way magic fix it" for all people.
Eating is so stressful. For a mum that’s trying to prevent her daughter’s insulin levels spiking on a daily basis I never understood what I can and can’t feed her. I’ve been given so much ‘incorrect’ information from pediatritians, dietitians, dr’s . I’m not sure who’s actually intentionally trying to help us and who is trying to harm us and makes us sicker. ‘Good’ food is not necessarily’good’ for our bodies . As overwhelming as this information that your sharing is. Thankyou for your advice .
I have thyroid problems, can't eat very healthy food like spinach, cabbage, broccoli, etc, so I know what you mean. And when it's your kid, it must be really hard. I also have prediabetes, so eat mainly meat and a few veggies and fruit (and probiotic capsules, they've been a life savior together with the diet), only meat has always been good to me, even though I actually prefer not to eat it.
Jessie is making a comeback once again! Love listening to this French lady!!!!
Actually Manuka honey isn't the only honey with solid benefits...if you have bad seasonal allergies you should teaspoon local honey. I know multiple people now who have seen huge reduction in allergies(better than any pill) from this method. 😉
Bee pollen does the same thing, as they were saying
I agree! I take one teaspoon of bee pollen daily sprinkled in my salad. It’s been a huge help for me😊

Not just about nutrition either
At least in Finland we've been going to the forest to pick blueberries since we were kids in the late summer - they taste a lot better in my opinion than the watery bush blueberries that are farmed. :)
Everything from the forest tastes better.
This video is exactly the type of education needed by the medical fraternity and in fact, anyone who is serious about their health status. I have Jessie's book and it's been a game changer for me. The recipes are delicious, quick and easy to prepare. There's nothing worse than being faced with recipes with a long list of ingredients. Jessie has skilfully developed recipes using a limited amount of ingredients with the maximum flavour benefit. Ive lost 7kgs using her advice and expertise. I also subscribe to Jessie's monthly recipe club which is marvellous. So, no excuses for unwise dietary choices. I have rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitus. Jessie's nutritional plan has decreased my inflammation to such a degree, that I can jog in the park with my dog again as well as doing other firms of cardio exercise, and I'm back to my resistance training using a variety of equipment like dumbbells, bands, kettle bell etc. Thanks Jessie.

I make overnight steel cut oats in a hydro flask food container. Have been putting some lentils in with it (something I learned from a baby food cookbook). I put in chia, flax, and walnuts. One batch lasts 2 days. I work a job where I'm on my feet and working 8 hours. I like having carbs to start my day, so I know I have the calories and energy to get me through. I don't do good if I don't keep up with the calories.

32:50 Contrary to what logic would tell you, "wild blueberries" only refers to the variety of the berries, not how they've grown. Unfortunately, most frozen wild blueberries you will find in grocery stores were not harvested in nature, they were cultivated in mass with pesticides just like regular (aka Highbush) blueberries. That's why you have to buy them organic even if it says "Wild" on the packaging. But yes, pesticides or not the "wild" variety has a lower sugar content, more fibers, and more flavonoids.
The province of Québec is one of the largest producers of Wild Organic Blueberries (QWB) 200 million pounds/year, in the world followed by Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The 49th parallel or the Saguenay region (northern part of the province where the soil is very dry, poor and acidic with low organic material and the winters are 7 months long with temps down to -45C. I have an uncle who has been cultivating the Boreal and Polar Star wild blueberry varieties all his life and 90% of them are organic and fertilized by his bee colonies every spring. Here we cannot name a blueberry wild if it is not grown from original ground hugging wild blueberry plants in the boreal region of the province. I have eaten them all my life, the cultivated larger bush hybrid blueberries are tasteless to me.

I drink a lot of oat milk but I've never been under the impression it's that healthy. It's highly processed and sweet tasting and lots of calories. I just like it a lot.
What about over night oats? Those are made with milk and yogurt and refrigerated overnight. Is the effect similar to what you were speaking about in the video? Would that not be as bad for glucose spikes?
Oats are Oats.
I’ve only watched a few of Thomas’ shows and was always meh on his knowledge but Jessie was able to pull that knowledge from Thomas and he was shining brightly in this episode.

I have went to butternut squash to replace all potatoes. Far better glycemically 13 versus between 50-70 for sweet potato
Lot of lectins from squash, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, lentils, beans, legumes, peas, grain, etc. Cooking on high heat in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes with boiling water and pressure will kill many lectins. Same with rice - which should be frozen for 18 hours and then reheated prior to consuming it for resistant starch (same with potatoes)

Thank you for such information. Highly appreciated. Any idea about monk fruit sugar? A diabetic patient uses it as he believes that it is a natural sweetener not adversely affecting his blood sugar.
Wonderful talk on the glucose subject. Weird though since I was cutting up strawberries and having homemade whipped cream minus the massive sugar. I didn't know about fats and how they did that with glucose. I eat higher fats to control my seizures, and it works for me most of the time. If I have something low fat and it has even a small amount of sugar, it sends me into a glucose spike like you wouldn't believe. I'm mostly carnivore now due to that, but it is increasingly difficult to find foods, even meats, without some form of starch or sugar.
It seems to me if you want that to work you'd want to eat grass fed, pastured animals, not ones fed corn, because the nutrient quality in those meats is vastly different than factory ag

Keto diet was developed to help prevent seizures, so there's definitely evidence that avoiding glucose has an effect on them.
I followed it for years due to my chronic migraines, and it's so expensive. My country would rather give me free meds instead of low cost good quality food.
Research about Berberine ( regarding sugar) Reseach I mean. Do not run to buy anything without first making sure it could be good to you. It would be ideal in case you would buy, it to buy it from a vegan/ vegetarian store so that they explain goodness or less goodness in it. I am not recommending anything because I am not a health professional, just sharing something Ive seen running around related to that theme. Sending healing thoughts and wishes your way! 😊
This is such an informative video - thank you for putting it together. I'm usually at logger heads with my diabetes nurse, she lives by the guidelines set down by this country's health officials, and it's all wrong. As I said to her - if you have an allergy to peanuts you're not going to try and cure it with peanuts, so why try and cure what is essentially an allergy to sugar with sugar - and that means carbs too. She didn't know what to say.
Also, soaking your potatoes in cold water for approx an hour before cooking also helps break down starches. I had read somewhere (sorry I can't find the info to back this up) but cook your potatoes, let them go cold in the fridge, then reheat thoroughly to reduce the starch even more. Has anyone else heard of this method?
well there's always gooseberries. I'm sure they have been modified too but they are still pretty low in sugar for a fruit. Unfortunately they are not easy to find by me.
This potato info is news to me. I'm checking it out for sure.

Still carbs. Old fashioned half cooked might be better because it has more finely. I love oatmeal but i have abandoned it

Which leads me to believe that as long as I have my healthy protein, fats and fiber first.. it will help calm down a spike regardless.. say if I was to have my berries for dessert!
