You're welcome! THANK YOU for watching!

I agree with berries, prunes, apples, pear, peach’s .

[@anneallen3566]

I’m a diabetic2 and fruit does raise your blood sugar, some fruits can spike it. Stick to low or medium glycemic fruits. Anyone can learn about low, medium, and high glycemic foods for yourselves. Ceylon cinnamon is the only one you should use. I’d get it from a place like Penzey’s, Whole Foods, places that sell organic foods.

[@onedaybetter3547]

Diabetes is getting to be a bigger and bigger problem every day. Zonya really breaks it down to the very essential information in a very easy to understand and enjoyable way and gives you a few delicious recipes to try along the way. This is a great place to start making changes within your life, whether you’re pre-diabetic, just recently diagnosed, or already in the fight for your life, jump aboard and enjoy the ride. And not only with this, she’s got a whole plethora of programs given throughout the year which are very effective. If you say you’ve tried every “Diet” known to man and nothing has worked, you probably haven’t tried Zonya’s programs. Give them a try. You won’t be sorry.

I dont have diabetes but I am working toward a healthier lifestyle with food, exercise and other healthy habits. My Mum died of Pancreatic Cancer at 70 in 2010 and one of my sisters was diagnosed with diabetes along with her husband. They have since gotten into more exercise and healthier eating and have also lost some weight. They have 10-year-old twin daughters so they need to look after themselves.

Thank you for all of this GREAT and very doable information to DODGE /STOP diabetes in its tracks. Last year, I heard it was on the rise by 700% (maybe I am off a bit/ maybe it was obesity). As a teacher I see so much processed (carbs and high sugar) foods being packed in lunches, that it just makes me sad. I so appreciate you helping all of us understand the cause and effect of these foods. It can be so confusing with marketing and our fast paced lifestyles!

[@zonyafoco8122]

Thank you for being a teacher! You see the toxic food of our culture first hand. It really is hard to "stay healthy in a culture that's anything but" May we just keep it simple and eat REAL!

[@frogmouth]

My brother in law eats stacks of fruit a day during summer when the stone fruits and berries in his orchard ripen. Record 14 pieces . The sugar illustration is brilliant! None of his family are fat because they all eat fruit and veg all year round and only buy a bit of bread fish meat and dairy meaning cheese and butter and not sweetened yogurt icecream etc

My mother has high potassium, was told no flaxseed, but was stated can have up to 2000 potassium a day. If that's the case then why not at least 1 tsp of ground flaxseeds. Also, will I be able to add 1/4 of avocado? She doesn't have diabetes. I would love healthy breakfast and lunch menues. I am tired of fixing her the same breakfast most mornings (oatmeal). Now, I try to do bran oat hot cereal as well. I read about oats, wheat is not good. Heck, one minute you can get certain foods, then later you can't. My niece and two sister has diabetes of them use insulin.

Your comment is incorrect. All you’re helping people do is increase cholesterol.

[@Heidishereandthere]

@@IamParalegal Its the low cholesterol that causes dementia, and early death. "Low cholesterol is healthy" IS A LIE!! Please look up Dr. Ken Berry regarding these lying doctors that have done nothing to help people, but line their own pockets!! So many, like yourself, have been lied to for years regarding "diabetes"(not really a disease) and cholesterol (our brains, and organs depend on it for life and longevity!)

[@candy2428]

Everyone needs to test their blood sugar before and after eating any food for a true test of what your body can and cannot tolerate. Some fruit cause high sugar spikes because of how much fructose is in it. Mangoes, Pineapples, grapes , oranges are disastrous

[@scottjackson163]

Fruits fall along a spectrum regarding net fiber content & glycemic index. Some “good ones” are: blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, & avocados.

[@jackseve]

All cinnamon is not good cinnamon. The type makes a huge difference we need to educate that people only consume Ceylon/True cinnamon.

[@hphan7549]

Very correct! Only Ceylon, the rest being so detrimental to your liver, let alone destroying it 🥴🥹🙏🙏🙏 Unfortunately, most if not all bakery foods out there use non-Ceylon, for cheap cost, of course 🥴🥹🙏🙏🙏

Yep. That threw me for a loop. Anytime I I eat fruit and check my blood sugar goes up - unless I eat it with appropriate fat and protein.

Greens work well esp the bitter ones help digestion and reduce the carb content. Lentils are nice in salad or any meat if you like chicken or steak or fish. A favourite salad of mine is mushroom zucchini avocado and a bit of balsamic on a bed of mixed greens

I was diagnosed Type 2 last year thanks to all the weight I gained from chemotherapy. I have been so confused ever since. I have been listening to this video with interest. Will this amount of fruit prevent me losing weight?

[@zonyafoco8122]

@@yvonneclapham1660 Hi! three servings of fruit = 180 calories and 6 grams or more of fiber. Even if your metabolism is REALLY suppressed, you get at LEAST 1,200 calories a day (why would fruit put you over the top?) Fruit is NOT the cause of obesity or diabetes in America! Other processed sugars and crap? yes. Fruit? No. Keep fighting the good fight my friend.

@@holycow3355 sorry to disappoint you because I'm not yet a diabetic but I'm extremely close to it with the highest risk of becoming a diabetic, today I checked my fasting blood glucose it was 93 mg/DL but if i had become diabetic it would've been 126 mg/DL or above for your information hba1c of 6.4% which some say and certainly hba1c 6.5% is confirmed diabetes I'm sharing an extremely important life saving information especially for those who are suffering low end prediabetes and high end prediabetes My age is 37 I've been prediabetic for a very long time it was 5.7% with an estimated average glucose of 114 mg/DL now most recently when I checked it was up to a concerning high 6.23% with an estimated average glucose level of 132.12 mg/DL if it reaches 137 mg/DL then it's a permanent life long type 2 diabetes So everyone with prediabetes both at low end range and high end range follow these steps to reverse hba1c save yourselves from becoming permanently type 2 diabetics When someone's hba1c reaches high end range like 6% and above they'll notice frequent urination especially at night that'll disrupt sleep,there will be severe hair fall,there will be loss of bodyweight,there will be extreme inching in the genital region,people will also go through severe depression,anxiety,start having extremely low amount of calories because of fear of their condition worsening to diabetes soon Lose body weight as soon as possible maintain ideal body weight and BMI because visceral fat is major cause of diabetes and other major health problems losing body weight is very easy by following 18-6 intermittent fasting and with weight training Have breakfast,lunch,dinner with gaps for example there should be 4 hours to 6 hours gap between breakfast,lunch and dinner plz make sure to have dinner before 6 p.m instead of having later in the evening Build muscle because muscles metabolise glucose greatly and also they prevent cancer also if someone already has cancer by building muscles they can increase their survival rate Avoid all types of sugar both processed or natural but if consumed don't consume more than 36 grams per day Always eat in an order of fiber first,protein second and carbs thrid Keep total carbs per day 130 grams or below avoid refined carbs consume complex carbs Walk immediately after a meal because the cells are like sponges that soak up blood glucose but if someone doesn't walk then insulin spikes to reduce the blood glucose which if happens frequently causes insulin resistance and diabetes Take two table spoons of acv before meals which helps to prevent glucose raise Take suppliments like berberine,gymnema sylvestre,bitter melon,Probiotics all of these help to lower blood glucose Sleep is very important because those who don't sleep for 7 to 8 hours are five times at risk of developing diabetes Wear a cgm it will keep tracking the blood glucose throughout the day making us aware of it's levels I'm strictly following these because of which I'm seeing great improvement

Great video! Really interesting. Thanks for sharing. Before coming across your video, I figured it would be promoting some keto mumbo jumbo or carnivore lol

Glad it was helpful!

[@azdhan]

@@Zonyafoco Very much so! It is pretty consistent with the dietary approach I follow. Thanks again!

I have friends with estrogen driven cancer that cannot have SOY (I am on the fence about it with ALL the contradicting intel out there regarding SOY) but being a cancer survivor myself, I will just choose to AVOID SOY. But what is your take on COCONUT MILK ? (Not in a can for cooking.)

Wanna dodge it? BEEF, BACON, BUTTER and EGGS. Nothing she said will help any body "dodge diabetes!" It will contribute to it though!! FOR SURE!

@@somerset6646 Yes, thats what our brains and organs thrive on. Cholesterol. Low cholesterol is the cause for dementia and so many other ailments. Please look up Dr. KEN BERRY, on youtube, carnivore diet and cholesterol. Youll learn the truth, and hopefully, change to the Proper Human Diet for your own well being, and tell others about it. ❣️👍

@@HeidishereandthereWhat an idiotic comment on nutrition. If anyone follows what you indicated deserves a chronic disease. Another nobody that’s a clueless expert.

This smoothie seems like a good laxative. Enjoy it.

Great Information and great recipes . I love these foods Zonya . But for some of us in the Caribbean these greens , fruits & even cauliflower are pretty expensive . What other fruits instead of berries & apples , even greens such as lettuce & cabbage can be quite expensive .What other fruits & veggies can we swop out and still utilise to dodge type 2 diabetes ?
