Why did he only talk about weight. I'm Prediabetic and I'm not overweight but I do eat too many carbs.

[angelwings]

What’s ridiculous is the guy kept referring to chips, soda etc as “calories” which is true - but they’re also SUGAR. They’re CARBS. Those are the things you really need to avoid if you’re pre diabetic or diabetic. Of course weight watching too but he kept losing the opportunity to underline the fact that sugar/carbs (same thing) are to be avoided as much as possible.

This is really great advice, makes so much sense, I don’t even drink soda, or juice, but I was drinking alcohol everyday, sometimes twice per day, I now only have a couple drinks per week, cut out bread, perhaps only once every 7 days a couple of slices of baguette toasted with avocado and a couple eggs. Don’t crave pasta at all, and haven’t eaten rice in weeks. In addition, I don’t add sugar, and rarely eat sweets, once you get started it really is easy, especially when you start seeing the pounds come off, I’ve lost 10 pounds in 3 months, slow wins the race.

Sorry doc. Adding fruits, for pre-diabetes is so wrong. Many fruits like banana, pineapple and more are loaded with sugar. You need dark berries and strawberries.

I found out I was type 2 diabetes in September of 2022. I fell into a deep depression and wanted to die. I took control by experimenting with keto and I do an extreme form of keto now. Those tips I think are a good way to help get people in the right direction.

It is not about calories. It is about foods that spike your blood sugar. Bread is terrible for you if you have prediabetes or diabetes. Cut calories is what my doctor said to me and it was TERRIBLE advice.

[dianal.]

Constructive criticism: call someone who really knows how to control blood sugar by changing the way one eats, even when no weightloss is involved. How come this man didn't talk about avoiding carbs? If you blood sugar is high, you need to cut on carbs. Not calories. You'll still need calories. An apple? Really? Too much carbs. Eat your veggies and fruits, but the low carb ones, like asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, celery and for fruits, berries. Small portions. Then eat the proteins you need. The rest of your calories should come from fat. You can try to keep it low, but starving yourself won't be successful in the long run. And learn recipes with low carb version of treats, to also still be able to enjoy a cake, bread, cookie.

I wish he would mention fruits because fruits can also put you at risk

[myyardsale]

horrible advice. calories is no concern, its the carbs and sugars that are killing people. this whole crew should e sued and fired.

[whitney]

It’s more about the sugar than cutting calories

[lddyycj]

Orange juice is disastrous for your A1C!

How about putting on muscle instead of losing weight? I'm 5 '7 3/4 and weight about 168 I don't need to loose weight. I'd rather work out more and put on a lil muscle 💪🏿.

[natashamhone]

The focus should be on the number of carbs and sugars in a meal, regardless of if they came from an apple or chips... All carbs turn to sugar so severely limiting or cutting them out is the best way to cure diabetes or prevent prediabetes...
Calories should be the last thing to worry about when ur diabetic..

[MR-rdel]

Not once he said cut out bread orange juice or potato chips I tell u they give anybody a Doctors license 🤦🤷‍♂️

[willalm]

CALORIES? It's sugar, fructose, and carbs

[saltea]

Funny I have had a doctor tell me to "not even think about it" when my fasting glucose was high.. More than once. I knew she was wrong.

[johnyork]

Guys, STOP eating 3 meals a day, NONSENSE, NO bread pasta, soda, NO flour products or sugar donuts

[johntate]

So I shouldn't eat rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, fruit ...what's left????

[olanrewajukabeerat]
