Im 58 yo male Native American, Navajo. Diagnosed with hypothyroid after Graves disease, diabetic, low testosterone, high estrogen, kidney, and liver issues. I have been to about 20 doctors since 2000. All of them stick to the American pyramid diet and tell me to accept being fat with low thyroid. Detrimental for this body. I gained 100 pounds in 24 years. I finally took my life and health into my own hands. Low to zero carb, moderate fat, and protein. Calorie defict. Intermittent fasting 20/4. And excercise. Lots of water and salt. Im down 3 pounds, AM fasting glucose under 95, and overall encouraged by the strict healthy choice. Positive thinking. I told myself I could not, for many years. I wish I knew these things decades ago. Now, April 2024, quit all my meds except for thyroid replacement, that unfortunately is forever....

[@candyclews4047]

Pushing breakfast back an hour or two was the key for me. I never could last till lunchtime so now I have two meals a day - brunch and supper (10-11am and 6-7pm). Finally, found a method that works for me. I make sure I have enough fat and protein at each meal with veggies. I'll have the fat based smoothie option only if I'm out and about or too busy as I always have frozen berries, unsweetened nut butter and vanilla protein powder around (I also add 1 tbs soaked chia seeds and add that to the mix with extra water/ice cubes and 1 tbs cacao or carob powder). In summer, I'll add a zucchini to thicken the mixture and have a smoothie bowl instead! Not sure of the carbs in this but as a T2 diabetic, I haven't seen my blood sugars spike at all.

[@ninacrowder9799]

If any of you are skeptical about Kait’s information, I am living proof that what she is saying is helpful! Last year at this time, I was diagnosed with PCOS, and it made perfect sense. I kept gaining weight, was feeling horrible and tired all the time, and my periods were SUPER irregular. Once I started watching these videos and eating waaaay more protein, my periods started to become more regular! I actually FELT better and more full throughout the day, and it felt better to make these food choices. I still have a ways to go on my weight-loss journey and of course finding better ways to manage stress with lifestyle changes helped, but Kait, I really want to thank you for this lifesaving information ❤

[@sidallen685]

Hi Kait, I alternate in the mornings from sugar free yogurt with blueberries and strawberries, to eggs and bacon and keto bread. In two months I’ve lost 35 lbs. and I feel so much better.

You just blew me away with the information that you gave about fat keeps the protein from turning into glucose ! You are the only person i have heard give that information. i’m an older lady and was on keto for several years. i. lost weight to begin with but the weight came back on and i was so discouraged. Thank you for that information!

[@sandiebrown9521]

Fat doesn’t have any effect on the protein turning into glucose. The body will turn protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis if the body has no other source of glucose available. It is purely demand driven. As long as you have fat stores, your body will use that first.

[@sailorgirl2017]

The first thing I have each morning is water with a little lemon while I do resistance training. I wait until 9am to have my coffee. Then around 10 I go for a 30 min walk which involves 100 stairs, come home, and make my first meal of a 2-egg omelet, with mushrooms, cheese, zucchini, 10%fat plain yogurt, some homemade salsa and take my B12 and D3. I may have a boiled egg and a cup of tea in the afternoon, but usually, just have a protein and veggies dinner by 5pm. Water is throughout the day and I stop eating after 5. I am insulin resistant, and started this program a couple of weeks ago. I feel great, and am sleeping better, have no cravings and have more energy. I can't go super low carb as I get shaky so I stick to the rainbow of colours of mostly veggies. I will be retesting my blood sugar at the end of Feb to see what changes have occurred with it,.

[@killabaekillstheweight]

This is very helpful information. I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Before that, I was eating oatmeal with maple syrup or giant bowls of very sweet fruits. I was consuming at least 4 bananas a day, then having rice or pasta for dinner. I wondered why my weight loss was so slow. Especially because I always intermittent fasted. My doctor had a good talk with me about my eating and strongly urged that I significantly reduce the carbs. He told me to stop this since it will inevitably lead to diabetes. He also set me up with a nutritionist. Thanks to him and videos like this, I am confident that I will reverse my pre-diabetes.

[@RealRandomVideos]

Hi, please share the diet suggested. I’m prediabetic too. With 20:4 fasting I am unable to loose weight.

[@carokat1111]

I am not the person you contacted, but I thought I’d answer. In my experience I lose weight better if I eat two to three meals a day. I think 20:4 daily is too harsh on the body. Best way to lose weight is to limit your carbs to 50gr per day and reduce even further. My best results were achieved on 30gr per day. This diet was given to me by a dietitian: breakfast 2 eggs with optional leafy greens; lunch 100gr raw protein, unlimited leafy greens and 100gr other vegetables luke broccoli and carrots; dinner the same as lunch. Avoid snacks but if needed, 30gr nuts, or 100gr natural yoghurt, or berries.

Thanks for the great video, Kait! I skip breakfast every day. On days when I only eat one meal, that's usually around 4pm. On days when I eat two meals, the first is at around 1pm and the second is around 5pm. I can usually tell when I need two meals, because I get hungry around noon. If I don't get hungry, it's one meal. Eggs are always a part of every meal that I eat. I love them and they seem to do me good. Bacon is another staple. Occasionally, I throw in some nuts or avocados. On the days with only one meal, it's usually steak and eggs. I always enjoy your videos because I learn something every time. It may not be useful at the moment, but knowledge is a great thing to store, unlike fat! You never know when that information will come in handy. It's nice to see the big picture also. Keep up the good work! And thanks again!

U spoke about 🥑 in ur smoothie... In my country of the Philippines, Avocado smoothies or shakes is a common thing (consumed sweet). Since technically 🥑 is considered a fruit since it grows on hard trunk trees & not a vine or soft trunk plants, we treat is as such. Try it out! It really is very good as a smoothie or a shake! They even sell 🥑 ice cream in our country & it's a normal thing...

[@fje6902]

I have been doing IF with a carnivore diet for just over 60 days now. I've lost 8.5 lbs. My weight loss is slow because I have to take insulin to regulate blood sugar. My favorite meal to break my fast is steak, or bacon, or ham with cheese and four eggs.

Since finding out I has a insulin problem last December; for breakfast I have cut out all fruit juices (OJ) and cereal and oat meal. I still eat bread but its the thin smaller Dave's Killer wheat Bread (looking for high fiber) and have that or 1 tortilla with eggs and bacon pretty much everyday. A quick breakfast would be that wheat toast with almond butter and bacon. It's really tasty. All washed down with a full glass of water. Have had great results this year. Your videos have been particularly informative. Thanks!

I found a Traders Joe rustic wheat bread works out to 4 carbs a slice( and I still even go for the smaller slices) and it tastes so much better than the keto breads. It tastes like real rustic bread. So I have one toast unless I’m very hungry maybe 2. You can also make French bread and I use Monkfruit Sweetener Lankanto maple syrup ( rare occasions). I’m so glad I found that bread.

I have skipped breakfast at times in the past and noticed small weight drops over time. I have gone strict KETO few months also in past and lost chunks of weight, but sticking to a ketogenic diet is difficult is one is used to a "normal" diet. Last few weeks I've been going back to skipping breakfast again, not eating after 9pm and also ensuring m my first meal, round lunch time, is carb restricted. I have dropped 1kg per week just from that. I also noticed I actually get less hungry now as the insuline is more managed.

[@tradehut2782]

I like oil. Plain coffee mixed with 1 teaspoon each of Olive oil & coconut oil in the morning. The taste is heavenly. The oil slows down the effect of caffeine, so I get a smooth 'high' from it.

[@bogdang.7627]

nr 1 works perfectly, I can go without eating brekfest for many hours and I don't feel hungry just because I stick to a diet similar to Kato's. This energy effect works very well for many hours on fat metabolism. That's why it's enough for me to drink bitter coffee with a teaspoon of good coconut oil for breakfast. Nutrient intake takes place in a window of 5-6 hours with a variety of valuable nutrients from many good sources!, but without sugars and with a very limited supply of carbohydrates. So until then there is intermittent fasting and it works perfectly. Dinner must be nutritious and plentiful because it must be enough for me until the next dinner. In the meantime, I drink either good mineral water or green tea or raw cocoa. Hydration must be good in this form of diet. This style causes self-regulation of human metabolism. There are no high sugar options in the keto diet approach. A person can get rid of prediabetes and even diabetes. The whole secret of health lies in what we eat during these 5-6 hours and how often I physically move.

I've opted for the 'Japanese option' omad.A bowl of rice and mashed mackerel or sardine.Heavily salted and spiced,cayenne,paprika etc.Finding it useful and cheap too.

Yum !

White rice does spike insulin, though, just FYI.

[@earlgrey691]

@@ANGELSVEN Yes i concur.Yet another in a whole range of foodstuffs i'm having to be wary of.Choices are ridiculously limited for pescavaric diet fans.Everything seems tainted,even my beloved bread.The lack of choice is ridiculous for red-meat and green veg dodgers.

In Brazil the smoothies are called vitaminas (vitamins) and forever people there put avocados in it.

Thanks Kait, helpful video. I would be interested in seeing a video on why Oatly is bad for insulin resistance.

I'm with you 100%. I don't eat breakfast. I have a cup of homemade cold brewed black coffee or my version of bulletproof coffee (black cold brewed coffee, 1 Tbsp MCT oil, 1 Tbsp organic unsweetened coconut milk). The hunger, if I have any, is gone in minutes, and I am full of energy, so I go right to things that I have to do. This all lasts about 3ish hours, so my first solid meal of the day is lunch. Btw, lunch can either be the bigger meal or smaller one of the day. I mix it up, depending on my mood, and what I have ready in the fridge (almost all my food is homemade.). I like to joke that since I'm half Spanish and half American, I may go Spanish (bigger meal) for lunch, or go American (smaller meal) for lunch. Take care.

I have been eating “fake oatmeal” with hemp hearts, flax meal, chia seeds and some heavy cream. It is really delicious and filling.

[@sherrygaley4675]

What proportions do you use?

[@neonkitty6366]

Yes Emily. Would love your recipe!! Val

[@lowcarb7392]

I eat oatmeal with milk, berries, chia seeds, nuts & cinnamon! Bacon & eggs on weekends! No OJ, just a whole orange! Very rare do I have smoothies, too sweet for me!

[@PinkSlippers70]

My recipe for my husband who just had triple bypass surgery, and diagnosed with type 2 at the same time (7.2 at admission) is 2 cups almond milk, heated on stove, add 2 tbsp chia seeds, 3 -4 tbsp hemp hearts, 2 tbsp flax meal powder....simmer for about 8-10 minutes...it will thicken on standing, smells like oatmeal...I add some berries, nuts and seeds and sometimes a clementine...he loves it, and 4 weeks from surgery his fasting morning blood sugar is 5.3

[@williamgillette4086]

I add chia seed and ground flax seed meal to my oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup and sprinkled with celon cinnamon.

[@merlyndamianose5795]

You are spot on. Period

[@criedwolff]

What are your thoughts on kachava in the morning? I love having it in the morning. I add 2 tablespoons of powder peanut butter to it as well. I also drink it with milk because it tastes better. It will usually last me a good 3-5 hours until I’m hungry again

[@olhemi1]

Very good Video. Personally I eat at noon and 6pm ish then nothing till noon again 🙂👍🍗☕

[@jolenecastillo5050]

Thanks Kaite, i really enjoy your.videom

[@robertareason7299]

Love your videos they have been helping me change my eating habits for the better. My question is, is eating home made Chinese food ok for diabetics?

[@camrobn]

I nearly overdosed on insulin shots for diabetes. I was insulin resistant. Doc kept increasing the shot dosage and my blood sugar would go higher. If I skip breakfast, my blood sugar goes up 20-40 points.

[@patrickdaniel1]

Hi would you love a diet plan from me?

[@Nickdaily]

I'm incredibly irritated by the smallest things when im in the last 2 hours of my daily 18 hour fast. Gotta remember to drink the potassium and magnesium salts i have. Great reminder🤙thanks Kait

[@HealthCoachKait]

If you are finding it difficult to push to 18 hours it might be worth just doing 16 hours instead! And you don't have to have the same fasting goal every day, you can mix it up based on how you're feeling 🤗 Sounds like you are consistent though which is great! Thank you for the tip ❤❤

[@sarelito9202]

Maybe your body is telling you that a 16 hour fast is more suitable for you. Bodies are intelligent.

[@emh8861]

Eat some fat !

[@Starfish2145]

It’s because you’re hungry lol. Eat some cheese dude.

[@leestockton9367]

​@@HealthCoachKait it's actually better if you DO mix it up, stops the body getting into a routine

Just had breakfast at 8pm dried sea weed a quest bar lemon spindrift multivitamin supplement stack and a giant shot of greek olive oil infused with fresh rosemary,tyme, and sage. Lunch at 10:30pm includes a shot of balsamic vinegar from spain

[@horacewilliamsjr-Author]

Avocado, bacon , and eggs are my favorite breakfast. Especially coming off a fast. A blueberry avocado smoothie with Cacao power is so creamy and delicious! I use water, no milk. I won't make this smoothie if there is no avocado to add. But, I prefer bacon, egg, and avocado.😊

[@kristinenash1926]

hello. Thank you for your help and enthusiasm is contagious. Does this mean I should eliminate any keto friendly vegetables with my breakfast ? Should my breakfast meal have 0 carbs ?

[@HealthCoachKait]

No, breakfast doesn’t need to be zero carbs 🙂 Any keto friendly veg you’re having is totally fine!

[@kalex_asmr]

Hi Kait, I am new to PCOS dieting and appreciate your videos! However, it is difficult at times to make a complete meal plan that accounts for different pieces of advice-- for example, I read that bacon was not recommended for women with PCOS as we want to avoid processed meats (sad for me, a lover of sliced turkey and bacon!) which are high in sodium, trans fat, and nitrates. I wondered if your recommendation for eggs and bacon means that in your experience, a bit of bacon in the morning is alright? Really any thoughts you have on this or on lunch meat (without white bread) will be very helpful, if you have the time! Thank you so much!

[@EynOdMilevado]

I doubt she meant that you have to have bacon. Just foods that don’t cause a glucose spike ie fat and protein and low carb vegetables.

[@tliw2]

Have you tried uncured bacon cold cuts?

[@sonyas7422]

I buy bacon without the nitrates. There are more healthier versions now, but they cost more. Processed lunch meats aren't good. Better to eat organic whole turkey/chicken/beef that's sliced up.

[@juliamacdonald3767]

This was very helpful.

I have a protien shake for breakfast which is around 3/4am. I eat lunch around 10:30 to 11:00.

Hi Kait, I am a healthy 67 year old man. Considering returning to the gym to start working out again. I will probably buy a "Plant based Protein" since I am somewhat lactose intolerant with dairy protein. I have been doing Intermittent Fasting now for 5 consecutive months and I feel absolutely fantastic. More energy, better memory and clear thinking, sleep better and longer, more relaxed and an overall better Health. I am 5'5" and weigh 135 lbs. QUESTION: How much protein should I consume after the workout? Also, should I drink some electrolytes before the workout? Thank you in advance. Keep up the great videos! 👍😎🤸‍♂️🚴‍♂️⛹️‍♀️

[@HealthCoachKait]

Electrolytes before a workout 👍 If you're going to buy a plant based protein I would save your money and just get your protein from food. You don't need to consume any amount straight after your workout. As long as you consume enough throughout the day timing doesn't matter 🤗

[@juandrefourie8572]

Try some collagen protein for post workout with water. Also grass fed beef during the day with eggs. I have grass fed mince with 2 eggs and split that into morning tea and lunch with a combined protein of 120 grams, around 60 grams of fat and super low carbs.

[@yoyi5047]

I was just diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I was recommended to drink a teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon powder everyday with tea. Was wondering what time of the day would be more beneficial for better effect. Also told to take 1 glass warm water with Apple cider 30 minutes before my first meal between 11 and 12 pm. Will appreciate your comment.

[@mariam7203]

Has it helped you lower your blood sugar?

[@ladyqds]

Ceylon Cinnamon is AMAZING at helping to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure !…I prefer the capsules

You should mix the two ACV tea with Ceylon cinnamon sounds amazing!

I have turkey bacon, turkey sausage and an egg for breakfast, it is about the only part of my attempt to control my type 2 I can stick to, I really enjoy that breakfast.

[@LottoScratchin]

Great video!! I've learned over the last year, you can swap out a lot of things to create a lower-carb meal that is just as tasty as the original. It also helps to try things out of the "norm" and discover and explore new foods. The low carb hot chocolate is my newest favorite. Heavy whipping cream has been a lifesaver for me! The price is a bit high but I view it as a concentrate. Meaning in some recipes containing it, I will likely be adding water. Compare the carbs in heavy whipping cream or half n half to milk. Back to the hot chocolate..SUBS: milk for heavy whipping cream and some water or half n half; Whole Earth Sweetener Packets (3) for sugar. I also add a splash of Sugar-Free Torani Caramel Syrup (or vanilla extract) and just a few marshmallows (about 5). Salt is necessary to give that cocoa powder mmmm flavor. There are recipes all over KZbin for diy hot chocolate. The key to lower carbs is subbing out a few things and playing with the recipe until you get it how you want it. My basic recipe: Mix dry ingredients separately then add to liquid and stir really well. I do microwave mine for about 30-45 secs because I like it really hot. Microwaves vary so be careful. 1/4 cup HWC, 1/2 cup hot water, 3 packets of Whole Earth Sweetener (or your own zero carb sweetener), 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, a couple shakes of salt, sugar-free syrup if I have it, a few marshmallows on top. This hot chocolate is delicious in my opinion and contains very few carbs. Maybe 5 carbs with marshmallows. Skip the marshmallows for barely any carbs at all. Some ready-made envelopes offer 34 carbs for one cup of hot chocolate. If you add milk to those envelopes to make it richer, you're adding even more carbs.

[@ellenm2873]

What cocoa do you use? Unsweetened correct? How does it compare to Swiss Miss I think has low carb or low sugar one? Thanks for your ideas!

[@ellenm2873]

Also can you add coffee and make like an iced mocha or blend it with ice for your own Frappuccino? Have you tried that? There is a sugar free mocha coffee mix called Caffe DaVita that is good too.

[@LottoScratchin]

@@ellenm2873 Yep, unsweetened cocoa. I like it a lot better than Swiss Miss. Hot chocolate packets always seemed to be missing something to me. Maybe the richness or something. Especially when using water.

[@LottoScratchin]

@@ellenm2873 I haven't tried it, but it sounds yummy so I'm going to have to try it! 🤤 Thanks for sharing!!

[@LottoScratchin]

Everyone has the taste they're looking for so playing around with measurements is advised if it isn't right for you at first.

[@MsLadyP4]

I’m doing intermittent fasting, 6hr window to eat, 18 hrs fasting. I’m never hungry in the morning and keep myself busy until time to eat @ 2 pm I have salad with everything good in it, with vinaigrette dressing light. Then at 5 I have fruit and mushroom coffee. Works for me.
