How does glucose affect appetite?
Glucose spikes have a direct impact on our hunger hormone levels. The more spikes we experience, the more swings in hunger we get – we go from eating a meal to being extremely hungry again in an hour or two, instead of being full for hours. For example, look at two breakfasts that contain the same number of calories: the one that creates a big glucose spike makes us hungry again in two hours; whereas the one that keeps our glucose levels steady keeps our hunger hormones down for up to five hours. Even though you just ate the same number of calories. It’s all about the glucose spike

Factors that impact how well we can deal with spikes include: how much muscle mass we have, how rested we are, how active we are, the health of our pancreas, our sensitivity to insulin, our genetics, and what part of our menstrual cycle we are in. However, how and what you eat remains the dominant factor.

So, where to start when it comes to controlling blood sugar?
Eating your food in the right order is a great place to start. Here’s the deal: during a meal, if we eat our food in a certain order (veggies first, then protein and fats, then starches and sugars), we reduce the glucose spike of the meal by up to 75% compared to eating the foods in no particular order. You don’t need to change what you’re eating, just how you’re eating it. You can go one step further and add a plate of vegetables to the beginning of your meals. The fibre in the vegetables will coat your intestine and prevent the body from absorbing too much of the glucose crashing down afterwards.

What are some of the best foods to control blood sugar?A vegetable starter can have a huge impact on blood sugar. Find your favourite vegetable (for me, it’s roasted cauliflower), make a batch on the weekend, and have some before every meal during the week, even if just a few mouthfuls. Then, healthy proteins. Anytime you’re eating carbs, adding protein is a simple way to enjoy it with steadier glucose. For a steady-glucose breakfast, think of starches and sugars as optional ingredients you can add for taste and pleasure. Build your breakfast around protein – think eggs, beans and sausages – and eat the toast last. If you’re not ready to say goodbye to a sweet breakfast, first eat protein, fats and fibre – an egg, for example, or a couple of spoons of full-fat yoghurt – then have the sweet food, such as jam, granola, cereal or a sweetened coffee. Remember that when a stomach contains other things, the impact of sugar and starch will be lessened.

This is nothing other than stealing the original creator's content and nodding along to it 🤦‍♂️

Buen video, no entendí nada aparte de "One Banana" pero imagino que es un buen video, Gracias por traducirlo y comentar al final.

[carolinad]

Gracias por el dato, hay que comer mas grasa con carbohidratos?

[pdhUK]

My only question would be which is better for overall health to spike the blood sugar or to maintain a slightly lower blood sugar level but for longer

[angeliberth]

Dra. Suba la versión en español por favor

[lorineely]

Is it a significant difference tho? The pb so high in fat? Idk?

[best--u--c]

Nice robbery of another creator's content. You didn't add anything to it.

[xzqvlrv]

i always eat bananas with peanut butter and honey i wonder what the difference is with blood sugar

[coffee_drinker]

I added half a jar of peanut butter to my banana and it reduced my blood sugar to

[x.y.]

But, carbs shouldnt be mixed with fats. Ive just went down the rabbithole with the Randle Cycle with Bart Kay

[hesh]

People have been rating bananas for centuries. I have 3-4 bananas on many days😮

[NewssoParker]

Why she is nodding for someone else’s content 😅

[Lumpschlevot]

Good job. But use peanut butter with no added sugar.

[humanbeing]

How about eating banana with avocado? Like avocado banana milkshake

[ericrobillard-nr]

adding peanut butter to a banana is ok but many brands of pb contain vegetable oil and you don’t want that.

[cydeYT]

For long term results T2 diabetics should eat complex carbs and fruits. What Tim Lewis said isn’t entirely wrong.

[yojo]

Deberías de explicarlo en español, para los que no sabemos inglish😅

[earthingjo]

Thanks a lot for the short and precise video!!!!

[rosemarietolentino]

Just think if you didn’t eat the toast or the banana.

[TheAyotteMan]

What is the purpose of throwing your face on the screen and nodding? 🤦🏻‍♂️
