Wonderful video sir....so our traditional lemon rice has low glycemic index...😅

[@srividhya1027]

Ya, throughout the video I was thinking about the lemon rice. Thought Dr. would mention it. Our traditional definitely has some good reasons in it. The think is we are not aware of those. Like the fermented rice. We all know it's good but don't know that it has this kind of wonderful benefit

Hi Sir, I started following you recently.. sorry for late following.. after coming to US wishing 1year I put 10kg extra weight all bcoz of my careless about what food am taking. As newer coming to US I wanted to taste all kind of food.. that’s result I increased my weight 62kg to 73 kg within one year.. later I got health issues.. hormones imbalance pre diabetic and PCOS.. I was addicted to gulag jamun.. I won’t take only one sometimes I will eat 4-5 at a time.. all caused me this problem.. Finally I myself self realized about my health as my old dresses are not fit for me.. in home we always in night dress.. from Aug 10, I started my NO SUGAR diet.. I can’t believe with one month I lost 1kg.. that’s gave me confidence after seeing the weight reduce.. then slowly started your IF diet food before 5:30-6:30pm.. that helped more to reduce my weight.. from August ,10,2023 (73kg) to December, 10,2023 (65.3kg). Still lots more to go to reduce my weight. My hormone problem resolved ✅. Pre diabetics also I can reduce I believe..Just posting this because those who suffering like me will get little bit boosting and hope.. Thank you Dr. Pal( my dad name also Palanisamy) so somewhat I personally connected to you Sir🙏🏻😊obeying as my father’s says.

I am going through a hormonal imbalance and it's getting very tough to loss weight the traditional way, but after I am following your videos and changing my eating patterns, I must say that I have started to see changes. Absolutely informative along with humor and entertainment. Wish more Doctors are like you. Keep up the good work Doctor ❤

Do your research on Keto and low carb food as it has very strong and proven benefits to reverse a lot of hormone imbalance and also helps drastically in reduction of weight.

[@kapri5095]

Go to a doctor before you try keto or any other diet. Just eat healthy, limit portions eating mindfully, cut sugary creamy stuff with milk etc and just move. Glad it’s working for you. Keeping the weight off will be a challenge to overcome. It’s been that for me. So happy for you.

Will try your advice soon doctor. Hope it helps

[@vidyaarvind4458]

It is important that women seek medical advice specifically to treat hormonal imbalance which results in PCOD, hypothyroidism, menopausal weight gain, pre-diabetes and diabetes. Those who have hormonal problems will find it very hard to lose weight just by fasting or exercising or eating right, though these may initially help shed a few pounds. But weight lost compared to those not having hormonal imbalance, will be discouragingly low. Female hormones are a double edged sword indeed.

[@oreogiri]

I am 64 tears old woman in October 21 I was 128 kgs. By October 2022 I came down to 94 kgs... I don't know if what I do is intermitt3nt fasting. I have breakfast around 9 am and dinner between 7.30 - 8 pm. Afternoon just fruits. Minimum carbs that too with idlis and dosas. No outside food. No fried food. No sugar. No sweets, period. Coffee twice a day with little jaggery. I cook all food. No outside food (rare exceptions which children and grandchildren vome). I eat veg and non veg both, but increased vegetables. No rice other than what us there in dosa and idli. Usually dinner is a salad with variety of vegetables and self made light dressings and variey of soups. I have added millets to my menu and barley. Non veg is chicken, fish and eggs. The first two I use air fryer to cook. Some vegetables like potatoes are off the menu.😊 In Jan 2022 I was not able to wake 50 steps without pain in knees and that too needed help . Now I walk comfortably 8000 steps and push it to 10000 steps every day. Children have made me wear fitbit to keep count. I do simple yoga ( basic stretch asanas and deep b4eqthing) for about 20 minutes in the morning. The journey has been not easy nor difficult. I tried taking help from nutritionists twice but I found that I was eating way too much than I did before and couldn't eat like that...i did some research on diets and designed my own...what works for my body. I have mentioned the basic principles of the diet above. Just find out what each dish adds in te4ms of nutrition and calories and then fix what you been to eat. My sugar A1C was 7.3 when I started dieting and in end of April this year it is 6.0. No medication. I walk about 3k to 4k steps after dinner in the night. Rest comes during the day. Post meal walks help in regulating sugar levels.. It didn't happen overnight to put a diet and a system.in place. I had to undo a lot of bad habits in the first place. I check my weight every Sunday morning and record it. Some.weeks have gine up too. But the steady decrease is a big motivator. I have happily tightened all my clothes and can wear my dresses, blouses which are 15 years old at least. (For a woman that matters, somehow, even in my age 😂) More importantly I feel good about myself, confident and more healthy in body and mind than before. That makes me enjoy the whole process and not consider it as a punishment. Now Dr. Pal says we can eat carbs (rice) in a healthy way....hmm will see. A

I limit my desert or sugar containing food consumption to max 2 times a month. Whenever I have sugar cravings I eat a fruit or drink zero sugar coke. I do no specific exercise just about 20 min of brisk walk every single day. I consume only 2 meals a day, NO snacks in between. I also try to consume at least 2eggs in a day along with other protein rich food. If Im not able to eat protein rich food then I consume 1scoop of whey protein with water.

It's good as it will lower Insulin drastically. But always have an on off mechanism, like take it probably for 1 week and avoid it next week.

[@manikantanjayaram656]

Hi Pal! I had read about an experiment on regulating insulin from a group of scientists in Singapore. Apparently, one of the simplest things one can do to delay the breakdown is to not chew food for too long. They actually compared the insulin cycle of the same person on two separate days by giving him two bowls of rice after fasting for 12 hours (same quality of rice, same quantity and boiled in similar quantity of water at similar temperature). The only change was the size of the spoons. On day one, they gave a bigger spoon and a smaller one on day two. People tend to scoop bigger quantity in smaller spoons which makes them swallow quickly before chewing fully. With bigger spoons and smaller scoops, people chew more. The difference in insulin graph was phenomenal. Have you come across this study? Like to hear your thoughts on this.

[@sinduchaudhari7791]

And then u will have digestion issues like bloating and gerd

[@Pjrdjf]

This is surprising. I saw a video in which deliberate, slow eating was promoted.

[@Puneeth.Bhushan]

In this method, it is absolutely important to limit the quantity of food. By not chewing much, you tend to overeat because you eat more quantity in a short period of time. By the time your stomach sends you a signal that it is full, it is already too late. However, chewing more implies more time to eat the same quantity of food. The stomach feels full faster. This is very important for people who are not controlling their portions.

[@sejutibanerjea9505]

As he said in the video, 70% of carb digestion happens with saliva. So if ur not chewing enough ur not digesting the food. Although I dont experience the 'feeling full early' by chewing slower (perhaps bcoz I'm pitta dominant), I've noticed that my stomach doesnt feel heavy and gassy if I take time chewing...

Love your sense of humour.very helpful tips

Curd rice - adding fermented stuff to rice. Alternatively lassi/chhaas included in meal.

[@selvimani4527]

Being a South Indian, having a low carb diet is very hard. Just trying to reduce the rice portion, decreasing the diameter of the dosas😂 and making the idlys smaller! But palaya soru is indispensable in our daily menu mainly for its pacifying taste.

I compulsorily include buttermilk and pickles. Mixing avakkai gravy to rice is yummy....fermented foods category. 😊

Hi Doctor, I am doing intermittent fasting. My eating windown varies between 6 to 8 hrs. Please let me know whether the eating window time should be consistent daily without variation slightly. I start my first bite around 11 am and end by 5 or 6 pm. I am taking Euthyrox in the morning after getting up around 7 am. Will this affect the intermittent fasting? I am taking glucophageXR 750 at 9 pm as I am prediabetic, though I end my eating window by 6 pm as I feel comfortable taking glucophage before going to bed. Does it affect the intermittent fasting window as you had said other than water we cannot take anything during the fasting window. Awaiting your reply. Thanks

[@aropanil]

Wow!! I now understand why I love lemon rice so much!!

[@Aditi_Chaudhury08]

We can also include curd/yoghurt in our diet to make it acidic and increase good gut bacteria and lower insulin spike...am I right Doc? Please reply

[@clashnfire_cricket]

Buttermilk would be better than curd cause i guess cause it has lactic acid.

Very informative video Doc👍Can you please tell how to calculate the carb intake of our daily foods ,like Rice ,chapati,Dal etc?

[@Verma4419]

In US food labels on dal, rice, flours, milk, yogurt etc. specify Grams of micro nutrients per serving , much easier for calculations. Hope this helps!

[@sandhyabr1490]

Sir, 2 lemons cut into pieces, put 2piece ginger, 1 green chilli boil directly with little water, put salt enjoy with curd rice like ingipuli

[@stevemaxwell6074]

Thank You. I have been using orange peel when cooking starchy food, rice, pasta,etc, only to stumble on this video. I was ecstatic, plus, i have been following your advice and the belly is getting smaller, and i am seeing more of my feet. Plus, i love your jokes.Thanks for your advice.

[@Ishaanforsure]

I made a diet which includes kidney beans and milk for breakfast and soybeans with curd and salad for lunch and repeat it these meals for snacks and dinner !

[@nirupamaraghavan8916]

Only citric acid in lemon juice and acetic acid in vinegar will reduce glycemic index?? The tartaric acid in our tamarind and lactic acid in curd/butter milk do not reduce glycemic index? Every meal is started with tamarind containing kulambu/ rasam and ended with lactic acid containing curd/ moru. We anyway do not eat naked carbohydrates in our meal i.e., eating vadichcha soru directly. For that matter, how pizza is naked carbohydrate? It too contains cheese, which is fermented. Contains tomato sauce which has acetic acid and citric acid. Pickled vegetables added to it like olives/ jalapenos are soaked in brine containing vinegar.

[@saranya2603]

makes sense

[@savisub8409]

Lemon Pickle!!! I love pickles. Add a few.drops of lemon in 1/2 cup of water and drink with food.

IF I have been practicing 16-8 hour cycle and feeling better and started loosing weight gradually over 2 weeks now. A Bangladesh doctor sitting next to me in an international flight told me about this as I am both HTN over 30 years and T2DM over 10 years. I hope in next 8-12 weeks things will look better, belly fat already started disappearing. Now I will practice adding bit of ACV or lime mix so as to derive the best possible long term solution of these two lifestyle diseases. Also make some video on the topic that Why DNA can't be your destiny-epigenome as published in Times magazine some years back.

[@dr.suchitrarao2756]

Loved the video. Very inspirational and informative. After retiring from govt service,weight loss is absolutely top priority ,coz I never found the time earlier. Better late than never. Will definitely pay extra attention to all your tips in this video🙏

Hi Doc, Please can you check this again. Salivary amylase breaks down starch (formed by multiple glucose molecules) into smaller chains (oligosaccharides and disaccharides). The pancreatic amylase further breaks these chains into monosaccharides (glucose) for absorption in the blood stream.

[@Neilsharma3940]

combine rice with Ghee. also decrease GI Load. have seen its effect on my continuous glucose meter reading.

[@amusingcooker8086]

When i drink apple cider vinegar, i get constipated. Plus drinking ACV can stain your teeth. So i completely avoid it.. i will definitely try this lemon juice and fermented foods technique. Thank you for all the valuable info you share😍

[@sheilamathew7972]

Buttermilk in summer is excellent. Lemon + water + ginger + black salt and few mint leaves/ cucumber pieces is very tasty.
