Whatever it is you are doing, clearly it seems to be working quite fabulosly and famously for you Thomas, and what more, you are getting noticed, being seen and being heard by a lot of others, so keep it up. In any field, the only way to help others is by leading the way yourself, and being a source of inspiration for them. You can only hope to inspire and to influence others to do the right thing by doing the right thing yourself first. There is no other way. You will have a huge number of followers, the vast majority of them showing only casual interest, a much smaller minority of them showing more than a casual interest and finally the smallest of minorities of them who are really serious. All of them are good.

I’m pretty new to these videos, and I absolutely love them. You make the confusing so simple and understandable. Thank you so much. It’s a game changer.

I have watched literaly every single video of yours since the beginning of the pandemic. Never missed a single video. One thing I have been struggling with is, When I go on a keto diet, everything is great except my sleep. I just can not sleep. I feel like my cortisol and stress hormones sky rocket at night before going to bed. What do you recommend? As soon as I have some carbs at night, I feel much much better, but than I do not want to go to bed on a full stomach loaded on carbs

You mention how you feel eating food types separately, i.e., protien, fats, carbs, processes better. I just saw a study where you are 100%. The people who ate the veggies first, then protien, then carbs and sugar, had a 70%! Lower glucose spike than the people who ate it all together! That's awesome!

Thanks for this great video. By the way, I really appreciate when you sound like a broken record. It helps drill this info in my head.

What a great breakdown on insulin and sugar level and how it works! Thank you ❤

This video was necessary fallowing some of your advice a couple years back which may have dramatically hurt people with carb burning phenotypes. Well done.

Also those videos may have caused some gut dysbiosis. In this case Akkermansia muciniphilia as well as some tryptophan with meals (especially fallowing dinner if sleep is an issue) may be in order to reset a glucose friendly environment.

Hi thomas. Make a video on how to correctly and accurately measure insulin resistance. Thanks

CGMs are now available without prescription.

You will see the difference between eating carbs+move and carbs+sedentary.

Rucking for a mile brings down my glucose levels faster by 20-30% or about 3hrs down to 2hrs or less in my case.

Thanks Thomas, great watch & listen.
Heard & taken onboard Sir. Can't produce insulin since I was 13 & Type 1. Once 83.2 in my blood sugar reading in Hospital.
Activity & exercise - alongside my insulin. Effective change cycle.
Regards

Thomas I wish you could get to the point quicker, faster and better! Thank you

How long after eating should you wait to exercise?

[williamz]

In terms of exercising after eating carbs, is there a particularly effective amount of time after the meal is completed in which to embark on the exercise - ie, in one hour, within one hour, etc.?

Thanks Thomas, but this creates more questions for me, whose last blood sugar reading was 0.01 away from being "pre-diabetic". 1) How to I know if my blood sugar level is high due physiological or pathological resistance? 2) Further, I'm a little confused. I may be wrong but haven't you told us before that low intensity exercise (Zones 1 & 2) such as walking is good for Visceral fat (which you've told us can be related to insulin resistance) because when walking your body is feeding off fat (oxidation) whereas high intensity, say cardio (Zones 4 & 5) burns glucose? ___ I'm 63 y/o skinny fat, weight train 3 days per week and alternate low & high intensity cardio 3-5 times per week and my visceral fat (based on bio-impedance scans) doesn't budge. In between blood tests I'm using the visceral fat reading as a guide to possible progress on the blood sugar front.

The world knows these things I think. It's always good to hear it from another perspective:)

[Hassx-md]

So is it a good thing with a carnivore diet?

[JenniferJoanqa]

It’s crazy no one here is talking about “the hidden herbs” by Anette Ray…

[nathanielarchibald]

I like this guys content as long as its on 2x speed 😂

[Amr_Getsfit]

Is there an optimal zone for 2 hours after eating that shows you are processing it incredibly? Or is the typical under 140 good enough. I would assume obviously the lower the better

[michaelfeeney]

How long after eating carbs should a person go for a walk? Does that go for healthy carbs too?
