I take all this with a pinch of salt. I've been told I have elevated blood sugar and get a test every six months. This is a blood test for hba1c and the nurse usually tickles my feet to make sure I'm not losing sensation, and I have an eye test. The hba1c has been a little on the high side but not excessively so. The tickle test finds no problem and my eyesight is spot on except for needing reading glasses which is hardly a surprise at 70. I have exceptionally good low light vision and peripheral vision. For quite a while I religiously tested my blood sugar morning and evening. It's a bit on the high side, but not exceptional. I decided to try a CGM for two weeks to see what that revealed and it was extremely interesting. What I noted regularly, most days in fact, was that my blood sugar rose in the morning - before breakfast, as soon as I woke up. After having eaten nothing for usually about 12 hours. That made me question the usefulness of finger pricking every morning so I stopped doing it. The other main thing I found was that I certainly had glucose spikes after eating but I could not always connect it with what I had eaten. Sometimes I'd get a spike after innocuous foods, sometimes I would not get a spike when I would have expected one. In all cases when I had a spike it soon went down again. I spent my two weeks trying things out to see what difference they made and kept a food diary. I did a pretty rigorous job. I have a science degree and a masters, and all the data went into spreadsheets, after the CGM data was parsed using a Python script I wrote to convert it to CSV. I don't take any supplements and eat much the same as I have done for many years. I've been vegetarian for about 40 years, I think. I don't eat junk and we buy locally grown food from our market as much as possible. I exercise every day and track everything with my watch and Apple Health. At 70 I feel at least as good as I did at 50, although I don't have quite the same stamina. I usually cycle two or three times a week, not for long distances but vigorously, and I walk almost everywhere - usually getting on for 3 million steps a year since I've been using a counter. I think Zoe is on the whole a good thing as at the very least they've got people thinking about this, but Tim Spector has come up with some bizarre pronouncements. He apparently doesn't know the difference between yeast extract and nutritional yeast, and seemed to recommend yeast extract as a good source of potassium, which it is. It's higher than just about everything else per 100g. What he didn't seem to realise was that it would be well nigh impossible getting a day's potassium from yeast extract without throwing up. We eat Marmite regularly, mostly for the B vitamins, and a 100g jar probably lasts a couple of weeks.

Like I said, I think Zoe is a good thing if it gets people thinking about this subject, but they do need to think about it *themselves*. I've been thinking about the whole connection between diet, health (both mental & physical), exercise, environment, agriculture and anything remotely connected for quite a while. Before I ever came across Zoe. I don't think I'm particularly obsessed with this - I think about lots of other things too. My wife is always telling me I should do a bit less thinking and a bit more doing. I think she has a point 🙂 May you live long and prosper too.

As I said elsewhere I used a CGM for two weeks to get a better picture of what's going on. Sometimes I had spikes after eating, sometimes I didn't when eating the same thing. Every time they went down again. It seems totally counterintuitive that you would expect not to have spikes after eating. After all, isn't insulin secreted in response to heightened blood sugar? To the best of my knowledge it's not just waiting there for the sugar to appear, is it? Having said that the most interesting thing I found with the CGM was that my glucose levels rose in the morning as soon as I woke up, despite having had nothing to eat for about 12 hours. There is something called the dawn effect when glucose levels rise between 0300 and 0800, but this was definitely not what was happening. It was specifically between waking up and getting out of bed, as if some background process had decided 'he's woken up - he's going to start wanting energy'. It didn't stay up for long. Has anyone else come across this specific phenomenon?

Zoe is so on the right track, so much good science. i've had type 2 diabetes (DM2) for 2 years. Five months in i reversed it on a whole food plant based diet (WFPBD), but was unable to sustain that restrictive diet, and only ate about 85% WFPB and my blood glucose and A1c went back up. In April '24 i got an A1c of 8.2 % and went for the Zoe diet because it's less restrictive and the individualized component of the gut microbiome made sense to. i also found it very helpful to pair the diet with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)... i'm a critical care nurse, so i understand how to read and use that device. On my WFPBD i thought i was eating super healthy, i made my own home made granola that had 4 whole grains, dates, nuts. A cup of that and a cup of blueberries. The Zoe tests and the CGM were a wake up call, that breakfast was spiking my BG like crazy. i Followed the Zoe and Dr Inchauspe' advice, and started eating an omelet with avocado, mushrooms, peppers, onions and tomatoes in it. Also pretty much eliminated processed food/especially carbs. 21 days later, my A1c is normal 5.5%. i was able to watch the progress daily using the CGM (i used Signos). i'm learning how to eat fruit and berries again with just a short spike that clears within 2 hours, and my fasting BG is under 100... which it has not been for 2 years. Thanks for sharing your awesome science gifts.

I used to like Jessie until she started selling things (about the time she changed her hair colour).... Why use hacks for avoiding glucose spikes after eating added sugar, and things like croissants, chocolate cake etc. made of refined flour devoid of fibers? These are still unhealthy, and they'll still keep you addicted. Just replace these things with healthy stuff and you'll basically tackle most 'modern times' health risks. The 'food' industry is selling sickness to us through 90%+ of the stuff found in supermarkets, and we so willingly pay for it.... They won't stop producing it, they make too much profit! Governments are unwilling to regulate anything (by taxing added sugar like they do cigarettes, alcohol for instance), as lobbies are so powerful and have them in their pocket.... The only (tiny) chance for something to change (at least for ourselves and our families) is if we stop buying the crappy stuff.

Oats aren’t the devil’s food but like all these things there’s nuance - for example a big difference between steel cut oats you have to properly chew and instant oats you can almost drink with a straw. Guess which one is worse for blood sugar spikes 😉and which are classed as ultra processed? The only way to know how these foods affect you as an individual is to listen to your body as talked about in this interview. If you can get a CGM and like to geek out on the science that’s another way, as long as it’s guided so you can correctly interpret the results.

@@helendennis7662 Anyone doing steel cut oats should just go all the way to whole oat groats. They are great. I still often eat rolled grains (oats, rye, barley, wheat, triticale) so I don't have to cook them. I just soak them for 15 min. I add ground flax, berries, grapes, watercress and cocoa. I fortunately have never had problems with sugar spikes. I can easily go from 8 am to 6 pm without food and with no afternoon lull. However, I typically "force" myself to have lunch (without being hungry) so I don't lose weight. And lunch gives me more energy when I hit the gym at 5 pm.

How can Jess be a self-confessed chocolate addict if she says she eats a savoury breakfast ? I thought her method was supposed to stop cravings I’m thinking her way is too simplistic and appeals to those who think they can still have junky carbs after eating food in the order she’s described Not saying that some of the things she recommends don’t work but there’s just so much to it and she simply doesn’t go into depth

Thx for the tips. I like the start the meal with veggies/fibre. Since my dietitian recommended psyllium for my high ldl, that can easily be my pre meal fibre❤ and a reminder to take my psyllium. Win win.

Important message overall, but the fact that she offers supplements that are barely baked by scientific research is frankly quite shady. Check the episode where this is discussed in detail on the Unbiased Science podcast.
@helendennis766221 күн бұрын
Her website where the supplements are sold (not mentioned in this interview at all) lists a load of double blind clinical studies to back up the choice of ingredients. I’m not a fan of supplements, they are also often highly processed and any benefit is lost. But after reading a couple of links to studies I’m going to try using my white mulberry tree to make some kind of tea to help my blood sugar.

I need to make an irish coffee BUT in order to get the double cream to float on the (decaf!) coffee I need to add 3 tsp sucrose, which I don't want to add. I find if I don't put enough sugar in the coffee the density is wrong and the cream just mixes into the coffee instead of floating on top. Is there anything I can use instead of sugar (and not a sweetener)?
@michaelstreeter312521 күн бұрын
OK thanks everybody. I just decided to plug that question into GPT-4o and got "To help the cream float without adding sugar, you can try these alternatives: 1. Chill the Coffee: Cool your coffee slightly before adding the cream. A cooler temperature can help the cream float better. 2. Use Heavy Cream: Ensure the cream is whipped slightly to thicken it. This increases its buoyancy. 3. Gelatin: Dissolve a small amount of gelatin in hot water and mix it into the coffee. This can increase the density without adding sweetness. 4. Egg Whites: Whip a small amount of egg white and fold it into the cream for more stability. 5. Milk Froth: Froth a little milk and add it to the cream to make it less likely to sink. Try these methods to see which works best for your Irish coffee!" Pretty sure it should be "irish" because it doesn't come from Ireland.
@jennugent395720 күн бұрын
From my summer of making coffees including Irish coffees in the 90s 1. Heat cup, add in a teaspoon of sugar and hot coffee and stir to dissolve sugar. 2. Add in 1 measure of whiskey. 3. Heat a teaspoon in boiling water, hold this at surface of drink. Using another spoon, add on whipped cream (not from a can). Using the heated spoon will give you more controll of cream. It will still mix, but far less. Can't comment on you changing the default by removing sugar.

That's completely wrong. Lol the type of food protein is sourced from is the issue. The type of fat and the type of carbs are the issue. Saturated (above 20 g) and transfat (above 1.5-2 g) are an issue. Simple carbs are an issue. Processed meats are an issue. Healthy fats are needed and people are underconsuming them. Complex carbs (fiber) are healthy. Protein from whole foods is healthy.
