I learned so much from watching Justin's videos. I got a CGM myself and was shocked at what would spiked my glucose level. What I found for myself is that I have to eat carnivore diet. I losing weight now and have reduced my CGM level. I also found that if I eat food that does spike my glucose level it takes a day to return back to my baseline. I now understand that A1C is a 3 month reading that remembers all the time you ate the wrong food. Thank you both for educating me on how to reduce my glucose with only 6 hour eating window and the carnivore diet. What Justin said about flour and rice does negatively effect me too. What I have found that anything processed and sold at stores is bad for me. Any type of sugar no matter what it is called, is still sugar including honey and I have tested this with my CGM. Thanks for talking about sleep and how it effects my level. I noticed my morning fasting glucose is higher then in the afternoon after a noon breakfast of bacon and eggs. I have two torn rotator cuffs that wakes me up in the middle of the night to move around to reduce the pain from the tears. I thought that eating plain popcorn was a good snack until I ate popcorn and saw my glucose level to increase. My doctor had me see his dietitian 10 years ago who had me on the government pyramid and my A1C kept going up. I tried the carnivore diet since I was not making progress on lowering my A1C. Six months later my A1C was below 5.8 and my doctor was shocked when I told him what I did and now he is recommending carnivore to some of his other patients. Thanks for informing us about your experiences with your glucose monitor. I check it out.

The late night eating/6 hour blood spike part freaked me out, because so many of us have done this and just think of all the DAMAGE that high blood glucose is doing to our eyesight, capillaries, nerves, and other organs over those hours! Also, I 100% agree with all his blood glucose/energy level findings. I too grew up eating the carby breakfast, not just cereals, but so-called “healthy” breakfasts of meat, eggs, orange juice, whole wheat toast, oatmeal, etc., and would drag through the day feeling washed out, headachy, and what we call “logey” all day. I went low-carb back in 2004 after several friends lost significant weight converting to it, and within two weeks my migraines were gone, my daytime energy level was off the charts, and I felt like “everything worked properly”.

My next move is to purchase a CGM✌🏾❤

And here I was thinking that I am in ketosis 😢

Great Video, I enjoyed this so much. I have a similar story, I purchased a CGM and found out I was going in the 180's and 200's after eating fruit and smoothies and potatoes. All things I thought were healthy. I cut back the carbs and am feeling so much better. I was having diabetes symptoms. Constant urination, tingling and numbness in arms and legs, trouble sleeping, constant hunger and many other diabetic symptoms. I also ordered an A1c test which said 6.3. After going low carb for 3 months, my A1c is now 5.7 and I am doing much better. My moods are alot better too. I was so cranky before. Anyway, lets do more of these shows. Keep up the great work! xoxo Donna

Justin is constantly demonstrating that glucose is glucose no matter what form it takes. Here is the thing: your liver makes all the glucose you need. Any you eat is extra whether it spikes your blood glucose or not and represents a problem of storage and disposal by the body. It has to be burned or stored before any fat burning can begin. If you constantly eat carbs, you never burn fat.

At the beginning of my Diabetic Journey a Chiropractor said to me "if you look at food your glucose will rise" A hard boil egg w/ noting on it will make my Glucose rise. CGM are not always 100% correct, they can fluctuate. I am so in tune with my body/gut, I can tell when the CGM is off. I prick my finger to check, and reset the Dexcom 6 CGM I am 100% sure it is all the Sugar, Processed Foods, Chemicals, Dyes that is damaging people. I believe that all people react different to one food or liquid than another person. A lot of us (like me) won't be diagnosed until it is too late then get the wrong information from a Western Dr. For example... actually had a Dr. tell me "When you eat pizza, make sure you have pepperoni on it" Why I asked. "Because the pepperoni will counter-act the Carbs" What he should have told me was EAT VERY LITTLE CARBS because carbs convert to Glucose and your Glucose will always be High if you aren't careful. After a conversation w/ a Nutritionist about Oatmeal, she says to me: "You can eat Oatmeal just don't eat as much" WRONG a table\ spoon of cooked Oatmeal will shoot my Glucose HIGH. Each on of us needs to figure out what is best for our Body, Gut and Mind. I stopped snacking. I eat two times a day. When I get hungry. There's is a difference between hunger pains and glucose pains!!! If your stomach is not feeling EMPTY and feel like it is in knots then you shouldn't eat. I no longer have Brain Fog, I have not developed Neuropathy because I am CAREFUL of Fog/Nerve Foods that fry the brain and veins. Careful of what Western Drs. tell you. Research Research Research and figure out what is best for you BEFORE it's too late. BTW Daves Bread - seed breads is my choice. Read the labels find the ones that have the least amount of Carbs and Sugar. One slice at a time and only when my craving for bread takes over. I love toast. :-)

I love sugar and sweets, a problem I inherited from my family. My late parents were both diabetic, and suffered greatly from complications. I used to binge on sweets, especially chocolate. I'm definitely an addict. My best solution is to toss every crumb of it out of my house, everything. I tell myself constantly that I refuse to be a slave to my tastebuds. The fake food industry is worse than the old cigarette peddlers. They will never control me. As I listen more, motivation to quit junk food completely can come from many sources. In my case, I developed seizures from a brain tumor. The tumor had likely been there many years without affecting me. But despite my low carb diet, I was extremely stressed due to family problems and only 4 or 5 hours of sleep every night, thus the seizures. The tumor needed to come out. For three months before the removal surgery, I didn't cheat on low carb at all. I was highly motivated. The surgery went well, and I am now recovering. The keto lifestyle doesn't fix everything, but it is still worth the effort.

I’m currently pregnant and instead of taking the one time glucose tolerance test for pregnancy, I opted to monitor my blood sugar at home and I’m so glad I did! It really showed me what type of foods affected me, which is worse and when I’m most sensitive to sugar/carbs (which is in morning/lunch time, usually dinner I do better with carbs). Though I ended up not being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I still continue to eat healthy, limit carbs in the morning and I feel so much better. I’m not as tired during my pregnancy and my sciatic/piriformis pain went away after a month of eating better. I totally recommend pregnant ladies no matter if they have gestational diabetes or not to monitor their blood sugar and make better choices for there’s and their baby

Prediabetes of 5.8 about a year and a half ago. Dr.'s advice was to check my feet for foot sores . . . as if she was waiting to put me on meds rather than solving the problem. It took me a YEAR to bring it from 5.8 to 5.6 ("normal"). Got a Freestyle Libre CGM and I was quickly able to see what was spiking blood sugar. Brought down A1c down to my goal of 5.3 within a couple of months. Now I'm down to 5.1 and my ultimate A1c goal is 4.7. I should accomplish this within a just a few more months as I fine-tune routines such as more sleep, late brunch, early supper, plus little tweaks such as a pickle slice (apple cider vinegar brine) if I want a late night snack, have veggies before proteins and starch. CGM is a game-changer.

When I went full keto in 2020, my biggest concern was knowing what to eat in place of bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. Basically I was fearful of getting hungry. However, I learned (on KZbin) how to make a flatbread using coconut flour and almond flour. That was a major breakthrough for me and a perfect addition to my plate. I've maintained a constant weight during the last 4 years, after having lost 103 pounds during the first 10 months.

Mix dry ingredients. Add a melted knob of butter and or coconut oil...I use both. Add warm/hot water and mix. Begin tossing until it forms a sticky dough. Place in an oiled frying pan and flatten. Fry on low/med heat for 3 or more minutes. Flip over and 3 minutes again. Keep flipping until browned. Serve and enjoy. The flax seed and nutritional yeast are optional, but I add them for added taste and extra nutrition. Try experimenting with different gas settings to get a softer bread, or a crispier bread. Try baking in the oven to make a crispy pizza base. I think I need to upload a video of this to my channel lol.

Great session! Justin spoke about something very important: the cravings, the temptation and the gratification from junk and sugary foods. I would add that finding nutritional foods that satisfy you without that feeling of "I'm being deprived" of something that makes you happy, is crucial and equally important. I used to bake my own bread, croissants, focaccia, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, brownies and I ended up pre-diabetic. Now instead of grabbing a croissant, my breakfast (after fasting) is something like an omelet with veggies, mushrooms and avocado, or breakfast bites with bacon (uncured), spinach and mozzarella, and dessert is something like cottage cheese or chia seeds pudding with various berries, chopped walnuts or pecans and cinnamon. Equally satisfying... for me =). When the sugar spikes and crashes stop, your energy levels improve, your digestive system quiets down and recuperates from all the past abuse, the cravings stop too.

Beginning here with this thought the guy being interviewed is beginning to get down to truth regarding what is driving his desire to eat/overeat irresponsibly in the first place. This is the real root of the problem. Inevitably it will be having accepted fear or shame as a heart-level belief, followed by a second, 'fix it' response, commonly a performance-based idea. This is unsustainable. It is a mouse wheel which leads to burnout. The way to complete freedom is to continue seeking truth. This guy appears to be on a journey. Admirable!

I also do better with 2 workout s day- 1 hard weight training and 1 light cardo / stretching 8-10 hrs later by far helps me the most and light fasting in between. - I Do good on whole foods salads, proteins, meats, snack on nuts, diet drinks /water - unsweet tea - Having a fruit whey shake everyday keeps me feeling full till time to eat.

Sharing Dr Berg notes: Find out about the food that causes the most significant blood sugar spike in this fascinating interview with Justin Richard. 0:00 Welcome, Justin Richard! 1:56 Justin’s health history 4:58 Which food’s effect on blood sugar surprised you the most? 13:26 Other factors that affect blood sugar 16:57 Buffering the insulin response 20:14 Tips to avoid junk food 22:30 Impactful dietary changes 33:28 Highly processed foods 35:16 Choosing a continuous glucose monitor Justin Richard has collected a wealth of information using a continuous glucose monitor to experiment with different foods and their effect on his blood sugar. He explains how monitoring your glucose can help you stay healthy, too! Justin has a family history of type 2 diabetes, so he wanted to learn more about insulin resistance to prevent the same fate. He noticed his energy levels diminishing in his late 40s, especially after eating certain foods, so he began using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) to investigate. When he first experimented with the CGM, Justin followed his typical diet, which consisted of many highly processed foods. These foods elevated his blood sugar, and it remained elevated for quite some time. Anytime you eat, especially carbs, your blood sugar rises. Depending on the type of food, you'll experience either a slight or dramatic rise. Justin was surprised by the effect white flour, bread, and whole wheat bread had on his blood sugar. He explains that there is a minimal difference between white bread and whole wheat products when it comes to blood sugar. Ezekiel bread has the lowest impact on Justin’s blood sugar. Justin explains that stress and lack of sleep significantly increase his fasting blood glucose. Eating close to bedtime leaves his blood sugar high for 6 to 7 hours. Justin recommends eating carbs with protein, fat, and fiber. This slows down the rate of digestion, lowering the blood sugar spike after eating. Apple cider vinegar mixed in water also slows digestion and significantly lowers a blood sugar spike. Justin suggests these tips to eliminate bad food choices and bad eating habits: 1. Don’t go to the grocery store hungry 2. Say no to junk food at the grocery store 3. Go for a walk after a large meal 4. Don’t consume sweets after a meal or when you wake up Justin uses a Signos continuous glucose monitoring device and highly recommends it! Thank you Dr Berg and Justin! 🐱👍🏿

I'm so glad that I have self-control, I don't have to eat any kind of bread, I don't have to eat grains, I don't have to eat potatoes, when I'm in ketosis I don't have cravings.

Nobody ever talks about how much the cgm cost or how long it last and how any times can you use it before it needs replaced

CGMs usually by prescription only and may be covered by insurance. Needs to change every 7-14 days depending on model. Recently Dexcom stelo approved by FDA for OTC sales Hope this helps a little 😊

Not cheap!! About $430/month!! Needs changing every 10 days! Can stick and be painful to take off! Surprisingly there’s no pain putting the new one in!!(Although it makes a loud noise and you think it’s going to hurt!!)👍

Thank you Doctor Berg! We don't need a glucose monitor, we just need to do Keto diet with discipline. It was good for him, but that is not a lifestyle I want to have.

I watched Justin a lot! I'm glad you had him on the program today. For me, sweets are the treat. They're not the staple. If I go to the store and buy one or two chocolate bars, those chocolate bars will last me all week. I do have a small bag of chocolate at work. I may have a piece of chocolate twice a week... Because I don't want it to be a crutch. I just want it to be the treat

I changed the sugary treat I go to... Now I eat dates whenever I crave sweets - they have lots of fiber and have long-chain sugars instead of short -chain.

@@ShineOnBenevolentSun I eat Two-Figs every morning... I found that postmenopause those are one of the best things a woman can have in her diet. The magnesium, the potassium, The manganese for bones the fiber... It's perfect... I also will eat two or three tablespoons of pumpkin seeds... Which are also very necessary in perimenopause or post-menopause.

I love chocolate.... I don't care about cookies, cakes or gummies. I don't think I will ever be able to cut it out. I don't want to)).
