Quinoa and my blood sugar. How does it affect my glucose levels? #bloodsugar #insulinresistance

This is the most informative and ‘to the point’ video I’ve seen on YouTube. No waffle, no unnecessary jibber jabber. Thank you

The green vs ripe banana comparison was dope and very eye opening/surprising

“Freshly prepared rice is low in resistant starch and has a GI of 78, allowing it to quickly digest and increase post prandial spike. When rice is cooled in the refrigerator for 16-20 hours and mildly reheated before consumption, it retains resistant starch and also dips in GI to 54 allowing a lesser postprandial spike.”

You're very knowledgeable about this.This is a huge help, even to people who don't have diabetes and want to stay that way. Thank you so much 🙏

This is the only channel I subscribed to at first sight in my entire life. I'm diabetic, and I appreciate the effort you're making to educate us. Thanks a lot.

More people could easily check their glucose more often if continuous glucose monitors were less expensive.

People respond quite different. A male friend of mine and I, we made a week long experiment. He plays tennis 2-3 hours a day and has muscles, vs me, a female doing no sports at all. We ate the same food, almost the same portion sizes, and my spikes where always way higher than his. It‘s because of his fast metabolism, muscles and exercise. Take that in mind.

Just found your channel, thank you for doing this bringing awareness to those who are going through it too, blessings to you

Thank you for teaching that everybody reacts different to some foods. I cannot tell you the people who are trained in nutrition are stuck in believing all food reacts the same in peoples bodies. So test test test! Eliminate the foods that spike your blood sugar or walk/ exercise immediately after eating these foods to use up the excess glucose with your muscles.

Thank you for all you do! Stay healthy! Don’t ruin your health I’m the name of experiments either!

This channel is a great discovery. Can you plz pair some exercises with sugar intake so we can see the impact of exercising on sugar levels ? thnx

As a native American I’m interested if you can do a wild rice video

Quick tip. If you want your quinoa to taste better cook it in a broth of some kind. Either chicken or vegetable. Really picks up the flavor.

I am loving that u eat all the same foods I do so far, so this is awesome to watch!👍

[vickysawaan]

Great video to educate people to avoid getting diabetes just like me.Thank you so much for this.

I appreciate you trying out and showing results of different foods etc. FYI, this is what I do before I eat my "favourite", rice!😊
I put my rice to boil and rinse it three times, taking out lots of starch then the 4th time (when it's cooked), I put the rice in a collander and run the hot tap water over till the water runs clear. I wonder then if that brings the carb count down!? Thank you!

That's why in india, or as people say South Asian countries, we eat white rice with other things to get a good balanced diet and also avoid blood sugar spikes.

Huge THANKS for the information. Is lovely Quinoa and I would now have to cut back on my Quinoa. I was eating too much Quinoa.

[nelsonhoffman]

i was curious about this one, too. I test ocassionally just for fun and never eat just plain carbs alone but quinoa in a mixed meal barely does anything. In fact, I find that most meals don't really send my blood sugar high as long as im eating a balance of veg/protein/fat/comlex carb. Basically think that's what's key. Even a high GI carb, if in a mixed meal, doesn't do too much.

Quinoa is yummy, I use it instead of rice to prepare quinoa pudding, for homemade apple juice and as a side, very versatile... thank you
