When I was not low carb / keto and truly metabolically dysfunctional, going to all you can eat Chinese Buffet places were the most deadly for my body and health. Those days are just a bad memory.
Congratulations! 🏆
🥀🥢🥀 At my last job, the Chinese buffet was down the street and
was a lunchtime staple 🥀🥢🥀
Simple low carb meals = good health.
Since starting the challenge A1c went from 7.2 to 6.6,,these guidelines DO work..
Good job!!…keep going it’ll get even better!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video! This lesson about simplicity rings true from my experience. Most of my meals consist of meat and some sugar free condiment. I buy whatever is on sale this week – usually beef, pork or occasionally chicken. I’ll cook up several days worth ahead of time and just heat it up when I get hungry. I eat the same thing for several days in a row. For example, I have several hamburger patties that I grilled yesterday in the fridge right now. I’ll eat them with SF BBQ, low carb spaghetti sauce, salsa, mayo or SF ketchup, depending on what sounds good at the time. I have gone from seeing food as a source of pleasure to simply a fuel for my body and this has allowed me to lose weight and correct my elevated blood sugars.
This sounds doable, simple and delicious. Good strategy keeping it an easy way to stay on track.
Simply follow your advice: low carb diet along with IF. Thank you for sharing another motivation video 🙏
I am staying relatively close to carnivore as possible until my sugar is under control. I eat almost the same things daily, just switch them up. I usually have bacon chips & guacamole (the only thing not carnivore and I only eat it in the morning) and eat until full. Other meals consist of sausage and eggs whichever way I like cooked in either bacon grease or butter or a thin sliced ribeye with butter. Sometimes I will make a carnivore friendly egg drop soup with a chicken thigh cut up in it or some chicken wings. I skip dinner as it’s the easiest for me to do. I cant do dairy but I am making it okay without it. I am also on day 3 of no diet soda. So far so good.
I love egg drop soup, but I don’t know how to make it. Hint, hint: )
@Eugenio Lopez It’s super easy!! I use a clean (or the cleanest I can find), usually Kettle and Fire chicken broth 32oz, add shredded chicken (optional) and bring it to a boil. While that’s heating up, I take 3 or 4 eggs and whisk them together, set aside. When the broth is boiling, remove from heat and slowly pour your egg mix in. Move it around the pot to make “ribbons”. You can season to taste how you want. I usually use a little garlic and onion powder and a tbsp or so of sesame oil. There are videos on here, just search keto or carnivore egg drop soup for visuals. I hope that helps 🙂 Edited to add: I generally get four 1 cup servings from this recipe.
Your are indeed a great and skilled communicator. Laymen can easily understand you.
🥀🤗🥀 Thanks, Dennis, from this simpleton, for the concept of simplicity! 🥀🤗🥀
While I agree about your talent with simplifying otherwise complex issues, I have followed you for other important characteristics you represent in your videos. Another characteristic that I appreciate in you is clarity about messaging (which is different from simplicity but related). Humility is another of your wonderful characteristic (you are clear and honest about what you bring to table and who you rely on for medical and nutritional inputs). Adaptability is yet another wonderful characteristic you exhibit (specifically how you brought in insulin to the glucose story). Finally, I love how you interview people and help them tell their story and by doing so help build a community of those of us that have struggled and are winning our fight.
Very well said and I agree completely.
Ditto! I concur!!
I appreciate those kind words.
I started at 2eggs and two bacon strips in the morning. I would get hungry 2 hours later.
I ended up with 4 eggs and 4 bacon, no hunger pains at all until lunch.
I once ate a lot of bacon. Probably half a pound with Brussels sprouts. Omg I was full all day and feeling awesome.
@Em H How do you eat know?
“When you keep things simple, you increase your chances of success.” So true. Great way to stay focused and to keep on track. Thank you!
I’ve been looking to avoid “spikes” of 120+, at least until the next time my doctor is willing to test my HBA1C next month, but I’ve been told that I’m too extreme for most.
I’m sure I’ve already beaten diabetes, but at least until I’ve gotten 3rd-party confirmation from my doctor, I’m not taking any chances. Here’s to boring meals and thanks for your inspiration!
In summary of your video:
1. Get full/eat to satiety!
2. Enjoy your meal! (It makes it easier to adopt as a lifestyle)
3. Utilize Mike the meter to veto and ban any meal that spikes glucose over 130 (or spikes relative to where you’re at)!
I’ve was a teacher as well, so I’m also used to breaking things down into their most simple form. So when I started doing this 4 years ago, I kept it simple without even knowing much about what I was doing. My meals consisted of two hamburgers. Then I branched out and added cheese. Then I went whole hog and added sugar free BBQ sauce and a pickle. I now eat lots of different low carb and almost zero carb foods, and I never go hungry. I keep a hardboiled egg in the fridge for emergencies, LOL. Thank you Ben and Den for teaching us so much, and God Bless.
Thanks for sharing. We are praying daily for Israel.
Yes and for Light to enter into protesters here in America!!
Not only simple but also engaging, the way you tell us stories and memories too.
More sound teaching from Pastor Dennis !!! Thank you.
So interesting when you say you eat a reduced variety of foods at any one meal now. I have been doing the same. I think simplicity is good and makes proper digestion and absorption of food easier for your body. I have come to my own conclusion that my own body is intolerant of carbohydrates and recently heard a doctor in Low Carb Down Under podcast say just that. Thank you for sharing all your own experiences with us to help us to metabolic health. I am truly grateful.
Hi Dennis, Thank you for this video, as it came out at just the right time 🙂 After the high blood sugars during a hot summer, I was getting pretty down on myself. Prior to the summer, my morning glucose readings were in the 4’s and low 5’s. When I saw mid-6’s, then 7’s and, finally, an 8.4 I determined I had to do something different. I recall that I’d been told I was super sensitive to carbs, when I attended Diabetes education classes at our local hospital. So, I watched a few carnivore videos and for the last 3 days, I’ve had just carnivore One Meal A Day and my morning numbers were at 5.2, 4.8 and 4.8! Hallelujah! The OMAD started by accident. I’d done a 19 hour fast and thought I’d just wait until dinner to eat again. So, I did about a 24 hour fast quite easily, then had a much bigger meal than I’m used to eating. And this is where I think I’d been erring. I did not really “fill up” at lunch or dinner and had been having to have late night snacks. So, on the 22nd, I ate salmon and steamed asparagus + 2 tortillas with Black Forest Ham and Asiago cheese. I felt full – but not overly so. I had no need of a snack that evening and didn’t even have bullet keto chai the next morning. On the 23rd, I had no breakfast, no lunch and at 1/2 pound of ground pork patties with melted cheese on top. I was almost uncomfortably full. Yet again, no need for a late night snack, breakfast tea or lunch. And last night, I had a fabulous meal (not quite as “simple” but incredibly “enjoyable” :-). From Laura Spath’s YT channel: I cooked 3 slices of bacon, then set it on paper towel, poured the fat into another small frying pan and popped in 2 tortillas to warm up – then, I crumbled a ring of feta cheese around the outer edge of my big frying pan, then cracked 3 eggs into the middle of the pan and topped them with 2 TBSP chopped parsley (as that’s the way I get my vitamin C). Oh, that was marvellous. So, I guess I’m going to go with mainly carnivore plus 1 or 2 keto meals a week, as I’ve been nervous about doing that. I’ll certainly do this until I have my lipid panel and A1c done in a month’s time. Bless you Dennis. You ‘re a gem of a teacher! Here’s to 3 simple goals per meal! Yours in Gratitude
Oh yeah i love Lauras videos too
Hello Dennis. Thank you for the valuable information you have been giving us. I have a question and I hope you can discuss it in your next video. I had been following a good diet in the last few years and I moved my a1c down from 12 to 5.8. But since then I kind of gave up and started to eat high carb food but I was very active in terms of walking and lifting weights. My a1c went up to 6.3 and I am not happy about it. I have to say it takes courage and determination to stick to a low carb diet. What approach do you recommend taking when it comes to sticking to a good diet for a long time? Any good ideas as far as reducing the danger of having higher a1c? Thanks a lot of what you do.
Your delivery and content are definitely God sent; i look forward to new informative messages because the messages help me to be hopeful and strengthens me, God sent messenger always right on time every week. God bless and continue to keep you and yours😊
Hi Dennis,
I heard you say in one of your videos that your sugar level should come back to normal after 2 hours. Well mine do the complete opposite.Before I ate it was 8.9, one hour after eating,it was 8.9 , 2 hours later 8.9 but on the 3rd hour it had risen to 12.9(yes I ate a little bowl of spaghetti bolanase). But These is a recurring thing with me. I have hardly any carbs when I don’t eat pasta(was a 1 off so I can see what mike the meter would say) i.e mostly protein and green salads, I am struggling to get my numbers down. I am eating 2 meals in a 6 hour window, fast from 7pm to 1pm the next day. I am on tablets like metformin and 24 units of insulin(after i suffered keatosis and was in ICU for 5 days).I know early days and it might take 6 months, not sure if I am the right track.
