Utterly amazing! I so appreciate it. When both of you test it gives us a little bit bigger range to think about.
Greetings from Ethiopia. That was really inspiring. Thank you, Dennis and Bennedicta.
Thank you guys for sharing! I needed this joyful and fun video today! What a blessing you guys are. Thank you for sharing about the carbs and net carbs. 💗♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks, Sue!
🌟 A clever way to explain the different between net carbohydrates and total carbohydrates! What a coincidence; I had 3 avocado tacos al carbon for lunch yesterday!! 🌟 Den and Ben: A charming and powerful combination 🌟
One thing I notice is that the fiber in natural foods like veggies and the fiber added by manufacturers into “keto” food products like bread and tortillas acts very differently on Mike for me. Thanks for this video and for including Ben!
Differently, but “how” do you mean? Is there any processed keto product you use regularly? Do you like natural over processed or the other way around?
Same for me, I have to go by total carb. Those Mission tortilla spike my sugar.
I can deduct fiber from unprocessed foods. But processed foods that add all sorts of “fiber” (like those keto tortillas) affect my blood glucose level for a prolonged period. Sometimes as much as 24 hours of elevated levels. So the day following a “keto” tortilla, my blood glucose is elevated for ~15-20 points and only slowly returns to “normal”. So I avoid commercial keto breads.
@@kathym6603 I have tried a few keto bread and tortilla products with low net carbs but they all raise my glucose more than unprocessed foods with similar numbers. The only one I found that doesn’t is Unbelieveabuns wheich are shipped frozen and I keep in the freezer. They are a pricey and a pain, but blood sugar friendly. I use them very rarely.
@@TheLakeMum I have found a brand that worked for me Mr. Tortilla.
Gm Dennis. Happy to see Benedict in another video. I tried to explain this to my parents and they just can’t comprehend the fiber part. I just told them to eat fiber with there regular meals because they won’t listen. They say I lived this long I’m gonna eat the way I want till God takes me. I love them but I stopped trying. Their 79,76 and both severely overweight and pre diabetic. 🙏your channel ❤
I’m 73, and I changed… what you have to accept is that one has the ability to change. I also don’t want to be a “burden” on people. I exercise, eat low carb, high fat and keep my mind busy. I reversed 20plus years of Type 2 because I changed.

😳 Beautiful!
Good for you!!👍
Lovely video, and good info, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@beatdiabetes3 always do, thank you
Aha. There is the mystery… however, avocados are also a high fat food which also blunts a carbohydrate spike. I think its a combination of the fiber and fat
Agree.
Avocados are some of the best carbs ironically!! So delicious n so nutritious!! Hardly any spoiled for me n I spilled on most everything! Even low n no carb foods!!🥑❤️🥑❤️🥑
Thanks for sharing …A big Hi to Benadicta ..
I have been watching you two for years. Your wife is a jewel in your crown. Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks 👍
Sometimes its not just the carbs but the ingredients. A lot of the processed keto “foods” have ingredients (sometimes hidden) that despite the net carbs will spike your blood sugar. That’s why I recommend whole foods overall.
I wish Avocados were available all year around and cheep enough so that I eat them daily. All the fear mongering surrounding the high calorie intake surrounding avocados is baseless. An average avocado is around 250 calories which makes surviving a day on half a chicken, three avocados and some eggs quite a blessing. Thank you for this content. I once was buying some avocadoes when approached by an elderly man who right away said: “those are medicine. They lowered my blood sugar 30 points”. I imagined the man used to eat the usual high carb diet and when he ate avocadoes he deducted from the daily carb load which lowered his glucose. I never imagined I would see this experiment in which avocadoes literally lowered glucose.
Thank you both for your joyful video! You teach us so much. I appreciate you videos every week.
Thanks, Terry!
My doctor claims I should be eating more carbs than I do each meal!!! I have type two diabetes and try to keep my carb intake to less than 10 each meal, most of the time even zero carbs. Thanks to Beat Diabetes I’ve gotten my last A1C down to 5.7 from 9.5 six months ago. The doctor keeps telling me to eat 30 every meal!!!! She’s a great doctor, but my meter aka “George” tells me different. Last check she was very impressed with my results and commented “I knew you could do it if you tried”. Of course I didn’t tell her how I did it, as I didn’t want to hear the 30 carb minimum diet again. The amazing thing to me is most if not all meals taste better than when I use to eat ANYTHING I wanted. Thanks a million Dennis and Benedicta for your never ending informative videos! God bless you two!!🙏🙏🙏
Great report! Happy to hear of your success!
@@tompuckett9937 i think you should tell her for her own knowledge base going forward
A healed patient is a lost patient.
Congrats!!!👍
Your wife is so gentle and so pretty!
Suck Hole !
Excellent. Lesson.
That’s amazing ! I wish all foods had net carbs that worked like that.
Really good illustration. Thankyou.
New subscriber! ❤
