7 high glycemic carbs to stay away from

[Music] hitless but are they all created equally so back with the great carb debate is dr. Joey and I can talk carbs all day long really carbs so there's some that we maybe should be consuming more and others that we want to consume less so let's talk about the carb and what we're looking at here so carbs are sugar molecules and this is a key concept a sugar molecule enters your bloodstream there's a there's a ranking called the glycemic index now it has numbers associated with it the higher the number it's a fast car it's zooms into your bloodstream and so when it zooms into your bloodstream what goes up must come down if you eat those fast high glycemic index carbohydrates too much yeah you will gain weight right so your body wants a slow curb it wants a slow car it just wants to trickle into your bloodstream yes and when you do that you have sustained energy you feel good and you don't gain weight so the glycemic index is what we're gonna talk about today it is the impact on on your blood sugar right so but it's tricky because it's not a measurement of health which we're about to see mm-hmm so anything that is about a 70 ish that's too high got it anything that's like a thirty or forty ranking thumbs to thumbs up for that cuz it's gonna take a slow time going through your system it's gonna keep you steady and the dr. Shulman method is a lot about your hormonal balance your blood sugar being even right and if I were to give you a piece of white bread for example yeah and I through what I fly through what I call PFF protein fat or fiber on top of that white bread yes I've just put a break on the white bread you slowed it down it's loaded I slowed it down you just got I slowed it down and that is I'm all about blood sugar control yes and that's how I'm getting people to lose the weight naturally got it okay that was so good you should be a teacher I could see you're just the light bulb went off okay so that's the difference between a fast carb and a slow carb what are the health issues that can be associated with having too much of the fast car we know weight gain and anything else weight gain diabetes heart disease fatigue a food fog so remember what goes up must come down when you have that crash at 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. that's not a coincidence I want you to reflect on what you just ate so if you eat something and it makes you tired you've either had too many high glycemic index carbohydrates or you've eaten too much and your body is working very hard to digest it or you might have a food sensitivity but that's a whole other show totally and we will we will dedicate some time to that a little bit later I'm just say I'm packaging what the glycemic index and now the food is it does not so we sort of have to have this lexicon in our head and and generally know which ones to stay away from and which ones are gonna be slow moving through our system and it's very easy I'm actually gonna post a glycemic index list on our website on the web so people can get ideas of what's good what's it actually goes slow medium fast yeah so if I could get people to stick to slow and medium and the fast just for when you're at a party or when you're having fun that is ideal okay I like that idea we do need grains in our diet though don't we do we we do do well that it's tip I mean yes we do we do people do have grains in their diet so I'm about eating healthy whole grains minimal grains I don't think we need tons and tons of grains but if you're having high fiber if you're having whole grains if you're having things like quinoa or brown rice yeah certainly kids need them as we get older we need less grains in my opinion especially in the evening so if you want to have your grains at breakfast or at lunch fantastic but as the light goes down your metabolism slows down a little bit so we don't want heavy heavy grains at that time we want low glycemic index carbohydrates it's the same information getting repeated again and again to us throughout the entire show but I think that we can't hear it enough the light the Sun Goes Down no more food no more greens and no more grains that's it when your nerves are shot or you're tired at night and Netflix is on you want to eat you want to eat yeah we try not to do that okay well let's do the great carb debate why don't you test me so I'm gonna test you a little bit higher so we have a cornflakes or brand cereal and we have two numbers here we have a 70 and we have a 30 so we want to be staying in the 30 range I'm going to go for this brand base cereal being 30 and the flakes being 70 correct I talked about is that PFF this has fiber protein fat fiber so the fiber in the bran cereal lowers it so that's fantastic great okay so it's just gonna go through your system slower so go for that it trickles into your bloodstream it is a slow car it's a slow car it's a slow car got it so now I mean this is an obvious one but this is a piece of white bread which Mike wanted to I could roll into a ball because I'm in so refined yeah or whole-grain bread right so we have here 45 71 so we're gonna put the 71 with the white bread and the 45 with is it a sprouted grain bread it's a sprouted grain CD bread with chia seeds okay so all that means is fat fiber it's gonna trickle into your bloodstream so people say to me can I eat bread and lose weight mm-hmm yes you can yes you can it's just the right type of bread and you know what the other thing that you're gonna notice with all of the things that probably have a high glycemic index is that they you you eat them fast you just like Nang Nang yeah they're chewy you want more of it like a doughnut a white bread any of that stuff should be a telltale that's right that's a good mouthfeel that's right okay let's talk about race okay so we have white rice brown rice these are these ones are pretty obvious of course but okay so 87 for the white rice 15 for the brown so not big a difference but it's still better it's 87 is pretty high though okay so sushi rice is the highest white sticky rice is the highest so you can get your sushi with brown rice euthanasia she would throw rice yeah yeah don't be sad yeah you got it what's wrong rice it's an interesting one I'm not gonna tell you what the answers are here but we have a 40 and a 71 and what am i comparing here so you're comparing so apples and berries are in one category yeah watermelons in the other what I'm gonna put the watermelon at 71 oh you're doing well yeah I just I don't know why is that because of the sugar content but this is a really important point for me to highlight it is not an indicator of health so I do not have one client in my clinic present because they're eaten too much watermelon right nobody's gaining weight or leading to much watermelon so here's where you'll see my explanation when I posted on the website it is not a measurement of health okay only speed we're only measuring speed so you can eat your watermelon but things like dates tropical fruits they're higher glycemic index lower GI fruits are berries and apples and oranges are and oranges and cherries are actually the lowest orange is really yeah but cherries are 22 they're the lowest so cherries have a ton of fiber in them or what is it that cherries have fiber in the driver yeah I wouldn't have thought that they're like fabulously sweet so I want to see if you get this one right so here we have a 33 and an 83 I guess the pretzels are only 33 so actually the candy filled with the peanut is 33 and the pretzels are 83 this is the but the takeaway from this segment no I'm dealing with here typically is not go home and eat peanut fil candy and lose weight okay fortunately I'm sorry alright it is because it has the peanut so you see it's not an indicator of health that fat from the peanut is lowering it's the break okay a bunch of sugar and fake colors but if I put a peanut in there it's slowly slow so it has a load you might do with that information just forget it okay should I just erase that this is my brain yes okay that's an email between you and I so 3:00 in the morning potatoes we have the sweet potatoes versus the regular what kind of potato is that like a regular so that's an instant mashed potato Oh an instant mashed potato so that'll be the 80 and the sweet potato will be the 30 35 so some potatoes are fantastic I can't say enough about the sweet potato good it's so good for you and you know what it's so good for your kids it's filled with fiber it's filled with vitamin C and so I the whole take home from this is if you make some simple swaps you've lowered your blood sugar so every decision I'm trying to help viewers make is how does it impact my blood sugar really good less down there thank you
