Two months ago I saw this and started eating food in the order explained here. After eating the same food, but in the order recommended, I have lost 2 inches from my waist. Just a few days ago I started including some vegan meals, but that was less than a week ago. I am applying the same principles to vegan eating. It really works! It is clear,and simple to do and really works. Loosing belly fat is a big deal! Thank you Zoe.

How inspiring. I will try this too. How soon did you see results?

Summary: Simple hacks or shortcuts to maintain stable blood sugar glucose 1. In general, reduce foods with sugar, carb and starch (and drink more water too). 2. Eat vegetables and fiber first, then protein and healthy fats, then carbs and sugar. The more time between them the better. 3. Do any exercise for 10 minutes after any meal to burn off glucose. 4. Standard level vinegar in form of drinks, condiments or pills slow blood glucose.

I set up Jessie's meal order six months ago without knowing her own research on that subject. However, I always end up my savory breakfast with a wholemilk homemade yugourt. I also believe food supplements like chia, cinnamon and apple cider vinegar can help in controlling glucose spikes. Be aware not taking vinegar more than once a day. Sugar cravings are not an issue anymore thanks to a new way of eating foods which includes also nuts and mock meat.

The idea of eating vegetables first when we have a main meal is fascinating because when I visited a French family in the 1970s, this is exactly how they ate. I was very surprised to be given green beans or salad separately, then a portion of meat and potatoes. They were a middle class rural family eating a traditional way.

Jessie is a star! I loved listening to Sarah and her discuss all the details of how to manage your blood sugar spikes. A fantastic episode

Michael Mosley investigated vinegar in one of his bbc series. A recommendation was to drink a tablespoon a day possibly in a glass of water, or o add to the salad dressing. This had several benefits including weight loss, possibly because it counters a sweet craving. Cider vinegar was preferred.

I've been wearing a CGM for about 8 months as I am a type 1 IDD, diagnosed 40 years ago. I can't begin to count how many times since wearing the device, that I have been faced with an inexplicable spike or crash after meals, wailing "but its the same breakfast / meal I always have!". This podcast , I hope , will help me smooth out the worst of the spikes and troughs and improve my sleeping. Thank you all so much. Off to get my vinegar drink.

It wont do sht for you. These are healthy people, and they complaining about a glucose spike of 20% for a short period of time, just to have something to cry about, even tho that kind of spike wont do any harm to your body. Like, she talking about schizo type of sht, skin issues... Its all nonsense, high blood sugar wont cause any of that. For type1, there is only low carb that can maybe help, Dr. Richard K. Bernstein wrote a book on it, he is type1 endo, almost 90 years old by now. But its a very strict low carb diet.

I’m so glad I found you, I am going through a diabetic crisis. I’m trying to find a way to stop all the highs and spikes. This has helped me tremendously.

Cooked plants lose almost all of the oxalates and offer minerals, fiber and vitamins which are easily absorbed. These suggestions work, lower cortisol as opposed to your cult diet, and offer a very healthy way to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and thrive. When the human body makes glucose out of protein, not only dots that deprive your body of aminos to rebuild and repair tissues, it creates toxic residue which stresses the kidneys. Ketosis and gluconeogenesis are survival mechanisms, not ways in which to thrive.

Do report back on how & what works for you. I'm helping my husband manage his T2D, and, of course, wanting to prevent it in myself as well as to stop sugar cravings

This is very empowering, and what I like about it is the simplicity. As a child growing up in The Caribbean, we used to eat the meat first; the starchy part of the meal followed, often white rice, mixed heavily with peas or beans, along withgreen leafy vegetables steamed , and raw vegetables There was a spinach vine on every backyard fence.. Cracklin, butter and lard from animal fat was used instead of vegetable oil. The work was hard and involved a lot of manual labour. Diabetes, stroke and heart attack were very rare. The ancestors had a lot of wisdom, but we have moved away from it. I am glad that I can improve on that by applying this new information to that model, and make it even better. Thank you Johnathan Wolff, Dr. Sarah Berry and Jesse Inchauspe so much for presenting this very practical information.

I’ve watched a dozen or so ZOE videos in recent days, almost nonstop. Whilst all have been informative and useful and inspiring, THIS one has been the easiest to digest and apply by far. So pleased to have discovered ZOE. Thank you all.

This is the first time I have listened to your podcast. I don’t know how I tapped on it but I but Jessie’s audiobook few days ago and have listened to it about 30 times. Let me say this, thank you Jessie. This is the best book about glucose ever. The book is Glucose Revolution. This is a book everyone needs to read or listen to. Finally Ms Inchauspe, your beautiful as your book is. Thank you for sharing your experience.

A clue to why acetic acid might work -- it causes a release of serotonin when it contact the tongue. I'd be willing to guess it works even better without the straw. Someone once recommended vinegar diluted in water for my migraines. Sipping an ounce of any vinegar in a pint of water really took the edge off albeit only for a short time. You had to keep sipping.every few minutes to keep it going. It bothered me that it worked and I couldn't think why it would -- and then I found a study where someone found that putting acetic acid on a lamb's tongue caused a release of serotonin. Serotonin is involved in how many migraine meds work and also has a role in glucose metabolism. So maybe this is why the vinegar before eating moderates the glucose spike. New to Zoe and can't wait to get my test results back!.

I can highly recommend Jesse's book "Glucose Revolution" which goes into all the detail on this... it's accessible but the science is not dumbed-down at all (which I appreciated, especially as a type 2 diabetic... I learned a few new things about insulin response for example). If you get the audiobook she narrates it herself, but you don't get all the diagrams and graphs that are in the printed/ebook version.

This was the best information I've heard in the years of my diabetes. Thank you so very much! Love you guys

Brilliant episode. Certainly gives me lots to think about and try out for myself. Thanks!

I am doing the jesse protocol and getting very good blood sugar reading two hours after a meal.

I’d been itching for years and I didn’t realise this is when i have eaten any sugar. Consequently I’ve had to cut sugar for a few weeks. I record everything I eat or drink and when it causes the itching. Some fruits and veg trigger it. I’m wondering if once I’ve cleared my system of what has been an obvious overload ,whether the itching will stop and I can just eat sensibly again. I take ACVinegar. I know I’ve got to drink plenty of water.

About the same time this video was posted on KZread I stopped drinking apple juice and my fasting glucose level dropped about 30 points in a matter of weeks. I was in the habit of drinking watered down apple juice (about 25% juice to 75% water) but in fairly large quantities, a couple of liters a day. And my fasting glucose was running around 130. After I went to straight water, without changing anything else about my diet, it dropped to around 100. Sometimes I get readings in the low 90s, despite the fact that I've started to eat more carbs, including sweets, than I did before.

It's still sugar

40 years of being told to limit the amount of saturated fat in your diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, limit red meat has created a type 2 diabetic epidemic. Eating whole grains refined grains, root vegetables like potatoes carrots etc just unnecessary. Your body does not need carbohydrates in the diet. You are quite capable of making your own glucose. A few of the recommendations in this video are about the fact that your liver can make too much glucose and adrenaline and cortisol can speed that process up. My recommendation is simple limit the amount of fruit you eat to the Autumn or winter. Don't eat any root vegetables stick with leafy greens. And start eating bacon eggs ground beef steak pork chops. This will stabilize your blood sugar, and you may even lose weight.

Brilliant. At 70 and 76 we are trying hard to eat well and reduce sugar because my husband has recently been type 2 diagnosed. We were following some of the tips before but it is so helpful to hear all this information along with other helpful info in your podcasts. Thank you.

I’m not diabetic, I’m pre diabetic but I’m not comfortable with my Hb A1c sitting at 5.9. My desire is for my A1c to be lower. This is not any easy process by any stretch of the imagination, which is why I attempting to learn this whole thing on Blood sugars work, then develop a plan. Anyways, I really enjoyed this video, and I’m looking forward to watching others on your KZread channel.

It also explained to me why I had huge sweats from childhood, requiring to change my night clothes and bedding during the night, so breaking my sleep (not helpful) and discovered then, that if I don't eat many carbs at my evening meal I don't soak my bed 😄 I had a blood sugar review today with the nurse and she is happy with how things are going.

That ordering hack was fascinating; when I first travelled to Spain I remember having the order you describe. Good old Mediterranean 😊 A fascinating video, thank you.....so much food for thought

Vegetable first, protein second, starch and sugar third. I always stuffed all of these components all at once in my mouth to mix it well and always thought it's the best approach but obviously not👍

I used to eat a chocolate bar on the way to work every morning,then later on that morning I’d get the shakes,I thought my blood sugar level was low then I’d over eat ,now I know to eat as Jessie says something savoury first thing in the morning,it has helped me so much ,no cravings and no acid reflux ,thank you ❤

Great episode! Going to start this hack today and share with my clients! Thank you

The healthiest I've EVER been was when I followed THE HAY DIET..... Which is separating and eating foods in specific order, the timing of food order is important too.

Fab podcast. Rings very true to me. I spent my pre-menopausal life trying to eat really healthily and being very sporty, and struggling with a slowly increasing weight issue. When I became perimenopausal I started to gain weight faster, and also started to lose control of eating chocolate etc. Will power just went out of the window. Really demoralized, with hot flushes and mood changes. Then discovered intermediate fasting almost 3 years ago. Now my weight and eating feel controlled and no longer a big fight, for the first time in my life, and I have barely had a flicker of a menopausal symptom, unless I have too much sugar as a treat. And I'm 2 dress sizes smaller, no cravings, and happy as can be with a 2-8 hour eating window most days. I've dabbled with very low carb as well, but it doesn't really tick my boxes because very fatty food makes me feel a bit sick, and I adore my fresh veg! Thanks for all the great research and tips.

I have learned to intervene a hypo over the years, I don’t have much sugar in diet usually eat whole grains, but in my 30s saw and endocrinologist as symptoms also look like thyroid problems . I love porridge but about an hour 1/2 later terrible crash. Stay away from carbs was my diagnosis. Between Zoe and this podcast it makes everything a little more clearer, people are so different I am so delighted it wasn’t just in my head. I look forward to my results and will start including some of these hacks 😊

Loving the direct questions at the start.

Heard about the veggies first thing, but Jesse clarified it & made it doable with no effort. It is interesting that our customary meals in the Mideast serve salads and dips prior to main dish. But 21st Century culture is now rampant and soaked in carbs and sugar😏

I’m no medical professional but I would say so because they’re a fat with fibre... both of which slow down the spike. They’re always associated with the start of a meal or during a meal, never at the end so in my opinion they’re great to eat at the start as they don’t contain any carbs/sugar.

I modified my diet to reduce the amount of refined carbohydrates and caffeine and ate more vegetables, low carbs, and protein and my symptoms improved dramatically. I also stopped eating and giving into cravings during the night.

I arrived to similar conclusions concerning the order of foods and not having refined sugar while learning to manage my Long Covid. I've heared of others, too, who were successfully getting a handle on Long Covid by reducing sugar intake. Food for thought.

Or prevent the repeated insulin spikes from causing weight gain? Or some combination of the above?

In terms of insulin resistance, it's my understanding that eating fats and carbs in the same meal causes further resistance. as the insulin triggered by the carbs causes receptors to open but then the fat gets in them and blocks them, causing more insulin to be released. I thought the other tips were great, but as I want to increase my insulin sensitivity and regulate that, as well as my blood glucose, I will continue to try and keep them as separate as possible.

The general population is eating really badly (ultra processed, fast food for convenience) and it’s putting pressure on healthcare systems all over the world. More people are becoming diabetic or developing diseases that can reduced if not corrected completely just by lifestyle alone. I do believe we’ll reach a time when we go back to the practices of the 1950s and 60s, cook from scratch, slow down and savour our meal times and not even need to think about diet culture and calories. We can’t go on with the rate of obesity that’s occurring amongst pre-teens and will see parents outliving their offspring. High glucose spikes are bad because they increase inflammation in the body which makes us more prone to disease and ill health. They accelerate the aging process and can lead to insulin resistance (diabetes - which left uncontrolled can lead to blindness, limb amputation, comas etc). The spikes can lead to mood swings, tiredness and poor mental health which in turn can lead to emotional eating, further poor food choices and increased stress...and who wants to be around someone cranky and miserable all the time?!

Very interesting! At nearly 70 I have all but given up trying with my type 2 which I have had for about 10 years. Medication has not worked for me, it has made me feel unwell and some side effects I just cannot live with. It would be very interesting to know more about how age affects diabetes, does age make it harder to control? I don't have the gadgetry needed for monitoring and here in the UK general practitioners are not geared up to give you more than a 10 min appointment, there are nurses who go as diabetic nurses in practices, but again, 10 mins is all you get, so support is minimal and it is all about medication. The vinegar thing is wonderful for me, I have very little craving for sugar, but vinegar yes! So thank you for the information, lots to think about. x

Love this program very very good advice

I tried this hack with my lunch (salad, cooked mushrooms, scrambled egg, buttered toast). By the time I’d munched through the pile of veg, I was almost done! I ate the egg, but managed a mouthful of toast before I stopped because I was completely full. I haven’t tried the vinegar yet. It was very odd not mixing a bit of everything on my fork for full flavour profile, but I guess everything is alien until you get used to it. I’d certainly eat this way if I were having a dessert and I will carry on following Jessie and Sarah’s hacks and tips to see if they have an effect on my menopause symptoms. NB. I just used the Zoe app to look up my score for vinegar: Balsamic = 0, ACV = 79, Red Wine Vinegar, 87! I’ll give RWV a go, methinks.

I started using her suggestions a couple of weeks ago. I'm 53 and seemed to be almost through meno but this is rolling me back to pre peri meno days, it's wild. And it isn't taking long to adjust to enjoying each character of food one at a time. 😊

This is excellent, thank you. There is a lot of information about the supposed health benefits of eating a whole foods, plant based diet and I think your podcast raises some interesting points. Am I right in thinking that in the 1950s Walter Kempner successfully treated type 2 Diabetics using a rice and vegetable diet only? If fibre slows digestion and therefore reduces glucose spikes then non processed foods that also contain starch should not be a problem. I was part of a population study looking at diabetes. Testing involved a twelve hour fast followed by a glucose blood test and then a sugary drink. Another blood test was taken two hours later and if levels had returned to normal then there was no sign of diabetes. In other words spikes were expected but they were not expected to extend beyond two hours. Interestingly when in rural France many years ago a plate of lettuce was always served at the end a meal to aid digestion. Finally I understand that an increase in blood pressure as we age is not inevitable and a low BP has been found in communities who eat plant based. Thanks again for all your hard work on an important subject.

As a contrasting data point, at age 62 my blood pressure is typically 106/66, after eating lower-and-lower carb for ten years and leaning towards mostly meat in recent years, and it used to be about 150/90 when I was avoiding meat and eating a lot of carbs. I also weighed about 90 pounds more then than I do now, and I now have zero tendency to over-eat, often having to consciously eat more than I am hungry for. I can eat only 1500 calories during a day, and in the evening not be hungry enough to eat anything else, and I say to myself, "I will make up for it by eating more tomorrow", which I usually fail to do. So, as a former carb-addicted obese person, I am now eating mostly meat, staying lean, and have no addictive eating habits that could put me back on the path towards metabolic syndrome.

@@johnsheehy4192 I'm glad it worked out for you but it doesn't work that way for everyone. It was exactly the opposite experience for me. It's not about carbs for a number of folks but the type of carbs and the way it is sourced and cooked. For people whose ancestors ate a predominantly vegetarian whole foods diet they have inherited a different microbiome and reaction to various types of food.

Great episode. Can you define what a glucose spike is with respect to a percentage increase over your base glucose level prior to eating, exercising etc. Is a 10% increase a spike, or is it something more substantial such as 50%?

Thanks for taking time to provide such valuable content! So important to know this.

Can Hormonal changes in an aging male have effects comparable to those in menopausal females? As I get nearer to 80 years old I find bloating (inflamation?), brain fog and lethargy affect me rather too frequently for comfortable living. Another strand for React perhaps? Thanks for a very thought-provoking podcast. I'll follow up omo Jessie's book.

I am 71 and I found that the Keto diet was a great help for me in controlling both blood sugar and HbA1C and also bloating (inflammation), brain fog and lethargy, etc. The stricter the Keto the better to start off but if you lose wt then make sure you add in electrolytes to counteract the loses from the wt loss.

Jessie is so engaging & puts information over in an easy to understand way. I’ve started eating in order (mostly!) I used to always dive straight into potatoes at Sunday dinner, but now I generally have veg first, then meat, then potatoes, though I have also cut down a lot on things like potatoes, bread, rice & pasta anyway. I do like apple cider vinegar but often forget that hack! I don’t often eat breakfast these days after 60 years of cereal, (thinking it was healthy) as I try to have at least 14 hours with no food. I have found the changes much easier than I imagined & over the last year I’m down from 9st 10lb to 8st 6, so no longer overweight. 😊

I'm 9st 10lbs and would like to lose weight. Apart from cutting down on carbs and sugar and not eating 14 hours a day, what else did you do? Ignore the stuff on this video and exercise as I'm all good on that.

@@kathy4180 hi Kathy, I’ve cut down massively on ultra processed food, rarely eat biscuits now but have nuts & seeds plus 85% dark chocolate. Still love milk chocolate but only buy on rare occasions as once it’s open I’ll scoff the lot! After listening to Tim Spector I’ve increased plant diversity to about 30 different types a week which is much easier than I expected using herbs & spices I rarely used before so hopefully my gut is thanking me. Also I ditched all low fat stuff & now never use vegetable/seed oils, just Extra Virgin olive oil. As for exercise I really don’t do much, never have but trying a bit of Qigong. It’s just been about what I eat, when & how. I’m 63 & haven’t been this weight for 20 years. Interesting info about menopause & peri menopause which I wish I’d known back in the day!

Interesting discussions on subjects that matter for our daily lives! Thank you.

Very informative podcast; it just left me wondering whether the vegetables one eats at the beginning of the meal have to be raw or cooked or whether this does not matter. And what is the best stage of a meal to introduce fruits?

@katashley1031

Fruit is dessert, eaten last. For your pre meal veg, cooked or raw, up to you. We alternate salads and cooked veg.

Thanks for the information very helpful 👍🏼

Brilliant! Thank you all

It is more than just veggies first, if I eat an apple or a few cherries ~20 minutes prior to a meal I get smaller glucose spikes. Eating something to get the digestive process going just seems to help.

Fruit is packed with fibre so I can’t see why not. Apples, raspberries for instance. Fibre content of raspberries is huge!

What she fails to mention is the fact that vinegar makes you stink! I followed her instructions and after a while, someone close to me told me that my skin smelled like vinegar. I used a good vinegar 1 Tbs. before meals. Since stopping the vinegar, my skin smells good once again.

I found it disturbing that Dr Berry suggested people were taking recommendations way too literally. Does the approach have to be binary (ie either all or nothing, on or off)? Personally I only use the vinegar drink when I am going to eat a heavy refined carb meal (eg pasta which I simply love) to give my blood regulation system a helping hand. Also, I’m not entirely sure that Jessie was recommending that vinegar be taken with absolutely every meal/snack. This feels a bit extreme. Generally I tell people…rules are for wise people to treat as guidelines only…and to always listen to what one’s body is telling you regardless of the science, studies and theories, which often times can be a bit reductionist given all the nuances and complex epigenetics at play. Personally if I was a diabetic/pre diabetic and the vinegar worked wonders then I’d put up with the smells. If however the benefits of the vinegar were marginal then I’d probably prioritise getting rid of the bad smell by either reducing or eliminating consumption. Make sense?

I shall give it a try. I'm in phase 202 of Zoe but have purchased an additional CGM so I can keep monitoring. I will try having a gherkin before my meals (seeing as I like gherkins) and cleaning up the kitchen immediately after dinner instead of sprawling on the sofa and leaving the mess until bedtime.

Excellent video. Thank you so much.
