I am sorry but there is no way in hell some "herbs and spices" have any impact on anything.
Thank you for making it very clear that you are running a scam and that everything you say is a lie.
Nutrition scientist unaware white bread & chocolate bad for breakfast … so she's an idiot?
This is just an advertorial for Zoe. The headline is COMPLETELY MISLEADING 😡
The background music is really annoying
Loving the terminology 'nutrabollocks '😂 Go Sarah time to out the big 'food fibbers who have taken away the joy of food so they can sit on piles of profit.
Can you do a special on Lumen please!?????
I’m pretty sure that’s Jonathan’s voice modulated to change it to a female voice, asking the questions.
I love Zoe and am.following the advice and feeling bettrr, however like many others have said I find the music on this and other podcasts to be very annoying and dustractinf.
What a useless video like so many of Zoe’s videos …these people are clueless or in someone’s pocket
Saturated fat is not good! This is the fact, based on strong scientific evidence!
Nutrinbollocks had me in stitches 😂😂😂
I usually love Zoe content but this video was frustrating. Music, constant talking with short views of the food.
‘ what I eat in a day’ would be good, so people can see and be inspired. This felt like another podcast.
Aren’t crackers processed food?!
Arrrgh, that music!
Let’s see you guys vs Paul Saladino
25 yrs in nutritional research and you are still peddling the things you learned back then. Keep up!! There is no credible research which proves red meat and saturated fat are bad for us or increase the chance of heart attack yet you say this in nearly all of your videos
Sara is beautiful!!!!
Thank you.
So basically Zoe is a continuous glucose monitor. I want to try one and see what causes my blood sugar to spike. I’ve always had a varied diet and probably the last 10 years been mindful of sugar so have a lot of eggs and protein for breakfast sometimes with tomatoes or spinach, always cook fresh meals maybe a takeaway 1-2 times a month active job as a crash technician but always struggle with my weight but only around my mid section, scan revealed fat in my liver so really want to sort it out before I’m 50 ideally
I have had to postpone twice the start of my Zoe program due to a glitch with the blood sugar monitor, so I have the entire kit sitting on a table in the living room, the muffins in the freezer and I'm not due to start the program until the 30th June '23 having received all the above around the 16th June '23. Beyond frustrating! I hope as I type this (25th June '23) that the problem with the blood sugar monitor has finally been resolved as I will positively explode with frustration if I get a message on the 30th June that I need to postpone for a third time!
I wonder if my breakfast is okay for glucose spikes. Virtually every morning, I have steel cut oats with a big topping of a mix of the following: shiitake mushrooms, kale, collards, broccoli, artichoke hearts and olive oil, pumpkin seeds. Very delicious –
WTF is YT playing at? These "new" features are complete shite
What difference to the study does the fact that the group is self selected?
That's not a snack, that's lunch!
I'm doing the ZOE blood sugar tests at the moment. Very surprised how just having a bowl of plain Greek Yoghurt with a banana levelled out my blood glucose spike. Thank you Dr Sarah Berry and the ZOE Team, you're helping me to improve my diet, so hopefully I will live a long and healthy life. 🤗
Great advice, especially if I have the urge to snack. 😊
Agree that the music is annoying and distracting.
Absolutely – please get rid of the music
These videos are very interesting but far too long….who has time to listen to one hour of howto eat more healthily. Too much like one scientist talking to another .too much information in them. I just want to know how to eat more healthily. 20 to 30mins would suffice. I tend to switch off after about 40 mins. I just get bored with all the scientific talk.
Sarah says she never realised why her energy levels went up and down like a yo-yo until she wore a continuous glucose monitor. And this, despite being a nutritionist! I worked out that this glucose spike thing and drop in energy was related to high refined carbs in the early 90s before she even started her career and changed my diet then. Several relatives thought me weird and obsessed for doing what is (slowly) becoming standard practice 30 years later. Clinical research was in place to support lowering carbs/buffering with protein and fat in the early 2000s. It’s been the mainstay of the paleo/keto diet for decades and established lore among gym bros (but based on the studies).
So where on Earth has she been her whole career? To need a continuous glucose monitor to realise that white bread and pain au chocolat causes glucose spikes and energy drops is nothing short of astounding!
And yet all of the above pales in comparison with the following: she says she realised she had a poor glucose response after using the CGM and therefore reduced/buffered her carbs to lessen the glucose spikes. She talks as if she was born with this problem of poor glucose tolerance, implying its innate, genetic but it’s precisely because of eating the diet she has done for years that she’s developed poor glucose tolerance. The constant glucose spikes trigger constant insulin responses until the body becomes insulin resistant. In other words, she was mildly pre-diabetic i.e. had mild meatabolic disease like most people have after decades of eating badly. This is a disease and is reversible, not an innate problem you have to live with!
Reducing the glucose spikes by doing what she’s now doing isn’t managing some idiosyncratic medical problem that some people just happen to have (poor glucose tolerance). The fact Tim Spector wore a CGM and had exactly the same result should be a clue that this is really common: insulin resistance caused by high refined carb diet. Tim said exactly the same thing, implying it was just his lot in life as if it’s innate!
So the message is that what she and Tim are now doing is just eating in a more evolutionarily appropriate manner which will gradually decrease their insulin intolerance (increase insulin sensitivity) over time. Eventually, they will be where they would’ve been if they’d never gone down the road of decades of high refined carb meals. That’s what caused the damage and stopping eating that way will slowly reverse the damage. If they repeat the CGM test in a couple of years, their glucose spikes will be lower, for the same foods, because their insulin response will be better- they’ll be insulin sensitive and thus the insulin will effectively lower the sugar spike for that same food. Nothing to do with an innate problem- it’s all driven by decades of refined carbs and is reversible.
This myopia on something so ludicrously simple is because ZOE and many other nutritionists have wilfully ignored the high refined carb= poor insulin sensitivity axis as a result of being captured by the Harvard School of Nutrition
mantra on veganism and meat being terrible for us. Even the gym bros are way ahead of them on understanding how this works: cutting refined carbs/sugar and eating healthy carbs for pure natural energy, not coma inducing glucose spikes.
Interesting! But the background music makes it quite difficult to hear what she's saying – better without it.
I get so fed up when people talk about eating healthy foods without considering people who cannot eat a lot of these foods because of allergies or chronic disease. I have migraines that are triggered by foods high in tyramine. Restricting these foods lowers the intensity of the migraines. I can’t eat cheese, nuts any fermented foods including soya and some fruits. I am also dairy free because of milk protein intolerance. Is there an alternative way that I can replace the good microbes? Also I can’t fast because it triggers my migraines.
Great information and good to hear a personal perspective from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. That background music is truly awful though and I say that as someone who loves music and has it playing a lot of my day.
Don’t play music
Love Zoe films but agree music is too loud and preferably should be removed
Sorry, I cannot focus on what Dr Berry is saying for the intrusive music. Turn it down please!
Too much salt in the olives, saturated fat and salt in the cheese. Crackers are processed and probably too much salt. Just for a snack? "The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day and an ideal limit of less than 1,500 mg per day for most adults, especially for those with high blood pressure. Even cutting back by 1,000 mg a day can improve blood pressure and heart health".
Thought all cheese was loaded with saturated fat and therefore bad for the heart, should anyone with high cholesterol be eating it 🤔
Yes. I stopped listening because of sound track. Information shouldn’t need jazz background.
5:02 … asked about the future of nutritional science: “… exciting … excited… we can give advice to people that’s personalised” AKA “We’ll ask you to send us your poo samples, then charge you for our analysis and tell you to eat more yoghurt and fermented foods.” And a “snack lunch” in February including fresh raspberries & blueberries, with Comté cheese: high cost, high airmiles. Let’s see a video explaining how to eat healthily when you’re having to rely on a food bank.
3:30+ “If a food is too healthy to be enjoyed, it’s just not healthy at all.” What does that cute-sounding slogan actually mean? Please give us some examples of “too healthy” foods!
I find it refreshing to see/hear snacking is not bad as such. As someone with GI problems and struggling with an ED I find I need to eat little and often but it’s so easy to feel bad about this when we are bombarded with IF and TRE being the way to go.
