Stop trying to lose weight. Do this instead. (Secrets from a Biochemist) | Episode 16 of 18

Useful Links Mentioned in the Video:

Welcome back to the Show! Today we dive into weight loss: a common objective, but that needs to be approached with nuance. Weight loss for weight loss’s sake can lead to lots of unhealthy behaviors. On the other hand, steady glucose levels can naturally help your body burn more fat (it’s called metabolic flexibility), which is very healthy. We'll explore why maintaining steady glucose is key to managing cravings and hunger, and how it enables our body to burn fat more effectively.

Some tips that have helped me lose weight consistently:
1. Eat savory breakfast
2. Eat more meals with small portions
3. Walk after meals, or do a 20, 30 min walking workout while watching tv shows or podcast.
4. Eat your veggies first.
5. Have a list of easy healthy snacks and meals.
6. Stop thinking about your meals, diet etc all the time, being obssesive.
7. Remember one meal wont change anything.

The tips from Jessie:
1. eat savory breakfast, not carbs on breakfast
2. snacks has to be treated as any meal. No snacks is better
3. a glass of water with a spoon of vinegar 15min before meal is cutting the glycemic response with 30%
4. eat vegetables first, in the meal. Ideally with a spoon of vinegar (if point 3 was not possible)
5. meal order to eat: vegetables, protein, and after fat+ carbs + sweets.
6. walk 10min after meal
7. feed the body, don't go severe restrictions
8. if 90min after meal I have cravings /sleepiness, this is glycemic failing down reaction post a not proper meal for my body.
9. all sugars are sugars. Honey/syrups included. That is painful for me :)
10. not hunting perfection, if one meal is not perfect, I can do it better next meal.

I DEFINITELY recommend implementing her hacks ASAP! I have been doing all of the hacks and my husband has been doing only adding a veggie starter for about a week and a half. Our moods are both better, anxiety and depression is way less, it's easier to get up in the morning and we both have a lot more energy. Mental clarity has been awesome and my voracity for treats has greatly calmed. I feel like I've been released from years of torture. I am SOOO grateful for her research!

I reversed my severe insulin resistance removing all refined sugar from my diet and ate fruit for dessert instead every night. I effortlessly lost 23 kg, woke up alert, no more fatigue.

Every night, ever since I was 18, I've been afraid of dying while I sleep.
I don't have diabetes, but still, my glucose levels spiked during the night. My heart raced to a level I thought it was going to explode, and it happened almost every night, while I was totally conscious of it. The doctors told me nothing was wrong with me. I suffered from intense anxiety due to this, and every night, while experiencing it, I used to think "this is it".
One of my classmates in the masters told me about another woman that suffered the same that I was describing. He told me her life changed because of this method, so I bought the book.

My life really changed and I haven't had these spikes anymore. You just can't understand how grateful I am.

I've been watching her for 3 months now. I feel sad that I have not come across her before. I've been learning a lot and have been trying to apply the hacks. I don't do them religiously but I'm conscious about them. I feel less guilt when I eat desserts, and I see myself being able to maintain it long term, if not for life. I'm able to educate my family members who have diabetes since it runs in the family. Thank you, Jessie!

[nightman]

thankyou so much, following your tips I reversed my diabetes, lost 11 kilos and still losing weight, you have changed my life so grateful. I just added this to my comment as I was asked how long I have followed tips. I stumbled on her channel around 3 months ago and followed the simple instructions.

[AdityaSahu-kszq]

World would be 100 times better if more people were as passionate as Jessie is about Glucose. You are an inspiration.

[rina-nvyr]

Actually right now I’m trying to introduce these hacks into my life and eat less sugar. I’ve been eating crazy amounts of sweets for most of my life and got some health issues from it (the list is quite long) and, yes, I have a high body fat percentage. After doing it for a couple of weeks I can already feel the change! Thank you so much for your work

[mangeshgangurde]

You are really doing a good job by educating people on overall health and nutrition.

[nymrncr]

Thank you for helping me to get better! I follow your suggestions (6 wks now) and almost daily I notice something hurtful and uncomfortable is gone! Even constipation is gone! My brain has learn to enjoy a savory breakfast (broth & green vegies) and finds vinegar-water refreshing and tasty. I am feeling well and happy! Happy Weekend Friends!

you're a literal angel for helping people with their health. Thank you!!

[VanDiddly]

Dear Jessie, I have recently discovered your yt channel and immediately bought your book Glucose Goddess. I am really early days with it, but after recovering from a very complex relationship with food with intuitive eating, you have now given me hope on how to take that to the next stage.
I am loving your philosophy and the way you have made it so practical and particularly how you reject diet culture.
Thank you ❤

[Janina]

Where have you been all my life? I have implemented these Hacks and turned around my energy during the day and fixed my mother's morning dizziness after a meal.

I no longer have cravings for sweets. This is so great. Thank you so much.

[MishMashTravels]

I just bought your 2nd book and am currently reading you 1st book. I did your hacks to help stop my cravings and binge eating. I love your recipes (especially the Portobello with bacon) and I've already at my lowest weight that I've been since 2021. I do walk or do exercise 4 days a week but was not losing weight until now. Thank you for the science knowledge!

[kirstinayre]
