Top 5 Foods That SPIKE GLUCOSE…And What To Eat Instead

Get Levels App & Glucose Monitors: levels.link/flavcity
After wearing a continuous glucose monitor off and on for one year now, I have bee able to identify foods that tend to raise my glucose levels. Here are some of the worst offedners and the better for you swaps.

[@saras.2173]

1. Fruit juice 2. Bagels 3. Pasta 4. Potatoes/sweet potatoes 5. Chocolate Mitigate blood sugar spikes by going on a walk after meals, or pairing carbs with fiber (vegetables/roughage) and protein.

[@tedh3427]

Great video Bobby. Speaking of dark Chocolate. Did you see the Consumer Report story on the toxins in most Dark Chocolates? Can you do a video on which Dark Chocolates are cleaner? Thanks. Keep up the great vids.

[@hippiegirl5167]

This is one of the best videos you have done. Do more like this please. I am pre-diabetic and I am trying to find out what to buy to keep my blood sugar low.

[@VeronikaCheb]

Do keto diet and you will loose weight and you won’t be pregnant-diabetic any more, also check Dr.Berg

[@malloriesmith1]

Maybe check it Dr berg too? He's helped a ton of people reverse their pre diabetes and I really like him. He's not for everyone but he gives great science backed advice like Bobby.

[@angelapolly1]

While the regular bagels certainly didn't help, the glucose spike from Bobby's breakfast was mostly attributed to the OJ he drank - immediate blood absorption all at once. Everyone should read Dr. Peter Attia's Outlive book if you're interested in learning more from a doctor who really understands biochemistry from foods. Dr. Attia also did a great podcast with Dr. Robert Lustig on this subject.

[@betsyulbrich7362]

Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day…that’s an old wives tale started by the cereal manufacturers to get us to eat corn flakes!

[@elizabethwilk9615]

For me it is maybe not for others but if I don’t have breakfast I just don’t feel well

[@leeann317]

I love eggs. I'll eat my 4 eggs whites with spinach and a sprinkle of cheese as my lunch.

[@FLP90]

I fast through breakfast. I eat lunch and dinner but sometimes if it’s a bigger lunch I don’t eat even dinner because I’m simply not hungry

[@AprilShowers1955]

Appreciate the diabetic video! Would like more videos like this one! Whether diabetic or not, blood sugar is good to watch. I’ve figured out the carb/sweet potato, steak, & salad. Have refrigerated my sweet potatoes for a half week at a time. This really does work! ❤

[@NemoEUC]

These continuous glucose monitors are around $200/month if you are not diabetic. Its not affordable if you are not type 1, type 2, or insulin dependent.

[@redsparrow8640]

Everytime I buy something from the grocery store 1st thing I'll check is the sugar content.

[@SnoopyReads]

I've been eating 3 large chocolate bars for breakfast, lunch and dinner this week. I'm bloated and much more achy than when I was doing zero sugar

[@user-ow6qy9km8w]

Me too 😅

[@yordanpopov]

I check trans fat because that's the worst of the worst.

[@vanamarkarian]

@@SnoopyReadswow how come ur eating that much chocolate ??

[@Hippy2021]

​@@SnoopyReadsyou're overdose on caffeine from chocolate, not sugar causing aches and itch

[@juancechevarriacortes752]

Man your content is so educational, keep it up. You have helped me to keep expanding on which ingredients to avoid. I usually do 18-23 hours of fasting, do cardio, resistance training and hard labor in a fasted state. While i break my fast with dinner which will feed from Plant-Based, Fruits, Roots, Fats, Nuts and the only animal protein i eat are just eggs. Please keep it up.

[@MericaWakeUp]

Thank you for this video that talks of controlling your sugar. It’s so important.

I'd really love to see more of this content! This was awesome. Thanks for doing this.

[@arianed6121]

I love these glucose experiments videos, it is so clear and helpful thank you Bobby!

[@taylore22]

This was so helpful Bobby! I am trying to really rethink how I look at food instead of as just comfort but rather as fuel and nourishment.

[@Tammy-zr9zw]

Fantastic information! It was so helpful to know the specific foods you consumed and to see the graphs. Thank you!

[@anndebaldo7381]

LOVE Levels and my Freestyle Libre! I'm learning so much...thanks!

[@jujujustme]

Very interesting information! I hope you can do more of these. I am very very curious about sprouted grain bread. That would be a really great test. Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford your/or one of these glucose monitoring subs/devices as I am battling the Pre-d and have autoimmune thyroiditis.

[@Metaphysics-for-life]

The way you present this information is so clear, easy to understand and take action upon... thank you so much !!!

[@michellegornish3099]

Thank you. Gave me a lot to think about ... One of your best videos. Concise and to the point, relatively short, and a smaller sales pitch. Appreciate that!

[@yosoykibbles]

Thank You! This helped me see a very different view on how I should mindfully plan my food and not just binge on whatever. Thank You!

im binge watching since i discovered you recently and YES i used your app today when shopping at walmart and costco. 😊

[@allisonbradshaw8166]

Excellent video! Thank you! I would LOVE to see more videos geared to diabetics.

[@alimueller2514]

I have gestational diabetes while pregnant and have learned a lot about blood sugar spikes. Tricky thing about GD is my carb needs are fairly high for baby so I can’t go keto. The only way for me to meet my carb needs while avoiding spikes is eating only whole wheat grains, and pairing them with fat, proteins, and fiber. Insulin resistance is worse in the morning so breakfast and lunch tend to be tougher than dinner. Exercise or any movement after eating helps mitigate blood sugar spikes too. Fruit is usually a no for me but I do tolerate berries very well (high in fiber).

[@huitrecouture]

Just read end of diabetes by Dr. Fuhrman chapter 10 and you’ll learn everything you need to know about what to eat and how to control your gestational diabetes.

[@VeronikaCheb]

You should listen to Dr. Berry’s wife, Naisha, she was on Keto diet while pregnant

[@alsalas326]

Great video sir. Being we are all different It's up to each individual to do their own research and experimenting which food groups spike insulin levels. I have been doing this keeping my sugar level low and have lost over 40 lbs. I am not diabetic but I have been following Frank Suarez in the Spanish community. Frank's contribution was the impact of insulin spikes and the effects of metabolism.

[@neelaprakaashd9436]

Thank you Bobby 😊 A triangular lemon squeezer-since you cook a lot. It squeezes out a lot more efficiently and catches seeds too. Cool tool to have.

[@stephj4940]

This fascinating! I'd be curious to see more meals with your glucose meter testing results! I'd love to also see glucose results with common kid meals!!!

type 2 diabetic here. you never mentioned barley as an alternative to pasta and rice. It has a low glycemic index and is high in fiber. Thank you for telling me about the glucose monitor. It looks very handy. Thank you for the other tips, very helpful.

[@aprilcadwell108]

Thank you Bobby for this video! Being Type 2 Diabetes, this is helpful, especially since I follow you! My daughter also turned me on to the Glucose Goddess. A total game changer!

[@Kevin__Tate]

Another great video! It seems that we know most of this already, but Bobby does a wonderful job explaining it in terms we can all understand. And I love that he's willing to experiment with the CGM to show us the results.

[@theoryg]

Yeah but bits and pieces were a little hard to understand for me.

[@knowledgeseeker4116]

Sadly not me......Just 3 years ago I learned what a calorie was at 40 years old and then after immediately dropped close to 100 pounds from 290 to 185 and now I'm learning sugar and carbs moderation.........apparently I'm missing the post sticky notes and infomercials about my health or maybe it's common sense that I just don't have sadly but slowly and surely bits and pieces of health information is trickling down to me THANKFULLY 😊

[@darcya.9390]

@@knowledgeseeker4116congratulations on your weight loss and on gaining more and more knowledge all the time. It's ok to not know something - as they say, ignorance is curable! It's just sad when we stop learning new things. If you are learning, you are growing, and that's good! Keep on growing like the rest of us. I wish you continued success on your journey!

[@btoss1]

Hi Bobby, there are people like Dr. Paul Saladino and others saying a spike in your blood sugar is normal and good for the body. Especially if you workout. There's some interesting science behind it that he and others go into about it.

[@Trollollolollol]

The blood sugar spike is only ideal after a session of heavy lifting to force glycogen into the depleted muscle cell. Other than that it's certainly not good, just look around at the average American for the proof that it's not good

[@ytzpro]

Bobby always provide us with worthwhile information

[@marilyn48ful]

Thank-you for the info, I know we are all different but it’s nice to learn how your body responds to certain products. Not all of us could afford to wear one of those monitors, so thanks for the video, hope there is more.

[@davidp8791]

Great food glucose comparison. Much needed for all of us!

[@CesarGonzalez0981]

Great video. I’ve been watching your videos and also SugarMD who is a medical doctor who is also very knowledgeable about diabetes. If you look up his channel he said sweet potatoes are good for diabetics, but he said the best way to cook them is to boil the sweet potatoes so one doesn’t get a high spike in sugar.

[@travismason3486]

Have you experimented with Parboiled white rice? It's essentially regular white rice that undergoes a steaming process prior to drying. This method is believed to help it retain more nutrients and, even more importantly, avoid causing rapid spikes in your glucose levels. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you!

[@sauravlas]

Interested about this as well.

[@huitrecouture]

Rice is arsenic garbage.

[@jeffchoi73]

My belief is that rice is rice no matter how you cook it or chill it. It will most likely spike your blood sugar

[@silverado5469]

Hi Bobby, switch the monitor to your left arm and you will see your glucose levels will be different than on your right arm. Even finger pricks are different between your right hand and your left hand. In fact, it will change even between fingers. Only really accurate glucose test is a blood draw at a lab. I test the same fingers on both my right and left hand and rarely do they agree. One will be higher than the other hand. John in Ohio

[@candacerushing6882]

Good to know!

[@katteare2931]

I was testing multiple strips from the same finger blood and getting 3 different numbers. The lack of accuracy lost my confidence. maybe I'll try again.

[@jedaholmberg3211]

As a hospital RN I know that to be true.Interesting,huh?!

[@silverado5469]

Yea, first thing people say is ask your doctor, good luck with that. The dr will say hmmm here's a script pay the lady on your way out. John in Ohio ​@jedaholmberg3211

You never mentioned that following your results would help with weight loss. Is that just because that wasn’t your focus? Is it true that you can experience weight loss with fewer spikes in blood glucose. This was such an informative video. Thank you so much!

If you are diabetic I would recommend if you can have fruit have the whole fruit and then I would choose grapes. Red grapes have so much fiber. Also you can ration them better.

You may not have heard him in the video, but he said he is not diabetic.

[@shayalmasy101]

@@theoriginalbridgetconnors I did hear him and I watched the video through its entirety. I was speaking to those that are diabetic and found this video. I know not everything effects diabetics all the same way. Some can have fruit and others cannot. Some can have small amounts of carbs while others cannot. It was just a suggestion for those who can eat fruit. Be blessed always!! 🥰

Love your videoes! Have you tried drinking 1 tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar 20 min before eating? I've read that this helps the sugar absorb into your muscles faster instead of staying in your blood.

[@adi3806]

I recently switched to monk fruit-based sweeteners and started making desserts with them. I'm loving the taste and the fact that it's a low-calorie, natural alternative to sugar. It all feels too good to be true for me. Can you share your thoughts on the safety and best practices for using monk fruit sweeteners in everyday cooking baking ? I feel like im consuming it rather more than you would normally go about eating regular sweetners just because its low in calories?

[@earthzone85]

I tried it but I don’t like the alcohol after taste . I just use limited amounts of sugar cane

I don't think people usually add jelly to their bagels. I wonder what his blood sugar would have been with just the bagel and cream cheese (as well as the eggs) or even with a bagel and egg sandwich, no cream cheese. Also I wonder at what time after eating is blood sugar the highest usually?

[@Gypsy218]

I really enjoy your show and how you’re trying to educate. I have a couple of suggestions for this episode. In talking about the breakfasts you only mentioned the breads but a large part of your spike was probably due to the juice which you didn’t mention. A true experiment means you only vary one thing and then evaluate the difference. Also in talking about the pastas you claim that the complex carbohydrate ones are better for you without actually doing that experiment. They have more nutrients but if we’re talking about blood sugars I don’t know that they are better. I have type 1 diabetes snd have to take insulin and would not eat either of those pastas. I choose not to eat any kind of rice or pasta because of the spikes and can only eat a very small portion of actual chickpeas or hummus. Some diabetics think they can eat anything as long as they take enough insulin but your body does not benefit from high levels of insulin floating around either. Keep up the good work. Don’t know if I can find those brands in my area ( the bread looked good) but I’ll be checking. It is great that there are so many low carb choices because of keto popularity

[@shermapollonais9323]

Great info

[@user-od2qn7pn5x]

I'm in Australia, most of the products and brands you show I can't find. I have never been to a Costco (there are not many around) Locally I have a Woolworths grocery store and a Coles grocery store... can you show some items from stores like that they would be good swaps for the everyday foods?

[@govinda102000]

The chilling effect to lessen the spike in sugar for pasta works for bread if you toast previously frozen bread.

[@phillipsmom6252]

Works for potatoes too

[@SayCheeseM3dia]

I've been doing some research on eating... if i want to bulk should i eat every few hours or can i still eat 5000+ calories in a 6 hour window... i know IF is good for the recycling of cells but what would be the best way of bulking and getting longevity

[@stateniland]

4:12 .. what about your previous endorses of 'Daves Killer Sprouted Bread'? How does that compare to Keto bread?

[@leiarey3967]

I am diabetic. And what really sucks is I also have celiac disease, so all these lovely keto choices like bread , I still can’t have because they have wheat/gluten .. trying to figure out what to eat that doesn’t spike my sugar is a nightmare. The gluten free foods that are out there seem to really raise blood sugar
