@@luiscolon921 Thanks for the answer but if we look at it from the point of view of the definition of diabetes (one that I actually don't agree with) as A1C, then ACV does nothing to reduce A1C number as the average glucose is the same (area under the curve the same. One case higher glucuse, shorter time. Other case lower glucose for longer amount of time.). So technically speaking, it does not help with diabetes.

The book “The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet” reveals something bizarre about insulin levels. The first meal of the day becomes the insulin gauge your body uses for the rest of your meals. For instance the first meal, your body will determine how much insulin it will use for this meal alone. Next meal your body will make a new determination and also dump out the amount it remembered for the prior meal. Hence double the insulin and then the last meal the body remembers the full amount from the 2nd meal and will then dump this amount plus more from the new determination of the new meal, essentially triple the amount. Snacks are considered to be a meal by the body. The book is far better at explaining insulin levels. The almonds and apple cider vinegar worked extremely well and actually dropped your score very well considering how insulin works. Crazy cool.

It makes sense. Vinegar is the best by far. Point of Vinegar is to slowly keep glucose stable for longer period of time. This way you don't have huge drop. If you have huge drop, then your body will want more right away and you'd feel hungry and you'd eat again. Remember, you need glucose. Your brain runs on it, so sustained release of glucose is great for brain.

The slower swinging is because the Vinegar decreased the insulin level. This is my guess. It doesn’t reduce glucose, it reduces insulin, less insulin, longer lasting glucose in the blood. The problem is not glucose, the problem is insulin spikes and drops, which was decreased in the third experiment. As a result, you were longer fed by glucose. Which is maybe a positive result.

That's actually not correct. Because if the acv did reduce insulin, then the blood sugar spikes would be much greater. It's insulin that controls blood sugar, it's the hormone that pushes blood sugar where it needs to go. People who are insulin resistant have higher blood sugar levels because the insulin isn't able to do its job.....the cells don't respond to it. And saying that she was longer fed by by the Glucose in the blood is also wrong, because we only use glucose when it's pushed from the blood into the cells by insulin. We don't want it in our blood, we want it in our cells and muscles. The actual reason is that the acetic acid in acv slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in the stomach, and THIS is probably why there was a longer period of elevated blood sugar.....because it was being released more slowly. But even though blood sugar was elevated for longer, it still wasn't as elevated as with ice cream on its own.

The goal is to avoid the glucose spikes & drops and aim for a more flattened pattern…gradual climb and gradual drops. Just think of riding a roller coaster or flying in a plane. The quick increase & decrease in altitude. How does it make you feel? ACV and high fiber veggies before your sweets should help reduce the spikes. BTW, beans are high in fiber and they taste great with ice cream (think azuki / red beans).

I stumbled upon your video two years after its release, so I'm not sure if you're already aware of this. Nonetheless, I wanted to share some insights about apple cider vinegar (ACV) that might be useful. The benefit of ACV is that it helps release sugar into the bloodstream more slowly. Each time you ate the same amount of ice cream, your body had to process the same amount of sugar. The vinegar can't change this. So with ACV, you still process the same amount of sugar, BUT at a slower rate. This means your body needs less insulin to handle the sugar from the ice cream, which is good. Your CGM reads the glucose levels, not insulin levels. If there was a way to read your insulin, you would've seen that with almonds and ACV, your body needs less insulin to handle ice cream. Also, I noticed you didn't mention any heart palpitations when you had almonds or ACV, which is another sign that they're helping. Hope this is useful! Nice video. Glad I found it :)

This was interesting to watched Insulin resistance is quite complicated & our body reacts differently. Your blood sugar levels are very good. I guess apart from you eating healthy, your body metabolism is faster reacting to control better your insulin levels. The other thing I'm find fascinating is that the ice cream you ate is made with skinny milk, fat milk should be better because helps reducing the damage of the sugar in it. Actually ice cream itself it wouldn't be a problem for the body because the major ingredient is milk or cream ( full fat) some recipes also added eggs yoks. The problem is the amount of sugar added to it & if not home made artificial ingredients to give certain colours and flavours. That is why I used to eat vanilla, because usually they only use Vanilla extract that is not too bad. My body has a slow metabolism so I'm not confident enough to try any ice cream yet. Someone recommended Artic Zero Ice cream that has Monk fruit sugar instead of regular sugar, but I'm not ready to eat any ice cream yet. One think you mentioned is the level stress. I always say that level of stress & the lack of sleep affect your body no matter how healthy you are eating. I have very terrible levels of sleeping, although I have improved my sleep, yet I haven't reach 7 to 8 hours of sleep that affect my insulin levels. Apparently my level of magnesium is low, so I need to add Magnesium in my diet to help balance my sleep & digestive system. I use ACV when I cooking especially in my soups & curries meals I found helps slowing down my insulin. I do Interment fasting because works wonders for me. I exercise in the morning before a meal & walk for 45 mnts after a meal. I also drink green tea every morning. Anyway as long you keep a healthy style for time to time is good to satisfy your cravings. The body needs also those moments of satisfaction. You know your body, you know how much & what it can take. Thank you for sharing your experiences in a search of healthy life.

It seems to me that you cannot expect your blood glucose to be lower after eating icecream with vinegar, because the acetic acid of the vinegar is supposed to inhibit amylase, the starch cleaving enzyme. As icecream usually does not contain any starch but only sugar as a carbohydrate, inhibition of amylase is useless inthis case to inhibit blood sugar to go up.

I’ve been on the same journey, I can tell you for sure that it takes at least a week to be on the apple cider vinegar to finally see some results. Your body has to adjust to the new Apple cider vinegar diet. I can tell you for sure that my appetite has gone down and I don’t eat as much as I used to. So if you just started during this video, I’m not surprised you haven’t been seeing any immediate results.

@@thegoodenoughmama I started off by putting a spoon of ACV in my 1 gallon of water and started to drink that throughout the day and cut out all beverages. I also put “KAGED HYDRA-CHARGE” simply because I just need flavor in my water. My exercise was just basic walking for the first two weeks. Then I added two more spoons to my 1 gallon water. I started feeling less and less hungry. So my food intake went down. I wanted to see other benefits of ACV on the body and that’s when I ran into a video that said you can increase the potency of weight loss by adding cayenne pepper, ginger powder, lemon, organic honey, to doll the taste, add turmeric powder I bought from Costco. So in the morning I mix these ingredients together and drank it on an empty stomach with a straw. I also try to keep an active lifestyle just simple walking around the neighborhood. Then before I went to bed, I take my ACV mixture. They say to drink it with temperature water but I like it cold. Then I repeat the whole process all over again drink it on an empty stomach in the morning the second time before I go to bed. I still haven’t stop doing research on a ACV I recommend you continue to do your research. So when I switch to adding these ingredients, I stop using my 1 gallon and just use a simple glass of water to mix the ingredients and just take it in the morning and before bedtime.

Try drinking a glass of plain sugar free Psyllium husk at least 10 minutes before ice-cream. Start with a teaspoon, work up to a tablespoon over a week or so. The added fiber should help regulate the spikes. Not the best tasting but hey if it works.

Those watches that purport to measure blood glucose are very inaccurate and the reading process unreliable (how tight, position, your movement, etc.). Even repeatability is off by enough to nullify experimenting with them as you (and I) do. Either finger prick or wear a continuous monitor to make good comparisons. I love your experiments. You are helping us who struggle with A1c.

Really interesting and thanks for doing this, even if you got the side-benefit of a few servings of ice cream :). I am new to these hacks and the science but had just been listening to an interview ith GG and I think she said about it being important the trajectory of the spikes is slowed, using the analogy of tetris and it better for the blocks coming down slowly, i.e. your body doesn't want fast increase / decrease. Which also makes me wonder if you took the same serving of ice cream but spread it out over a few hours, how much better that could be.
@thegoodenoughmama
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for that input! I think spreading out the serving of ice cream might have some pros, but also cons. The most notable con to me would be that every time you eat another bite of ice cream after waiting for some time to pass, you are telling your body to create another insulin response. As opposed to if you eat it all at once, your body will have one big insulin response, come down from that, and then it'll have a few hours of rest/break time before your next meal forces another insulin response, if that makes sense.

Ice cream, depends on the kind, and the type of fatty acid it contains, can have an impact to delay the spiking. Things like alcohol also makes your blood sugar to be lowered till the next day too but makes it to spike at an unexpected timing which is why it is advised if you are to not consume alcohol or food like ice cream with high sugar and high cholesterol as they can make it really difficult to predict GL!

There are so many more variables that affect your blood sugar on a given day that its almost impossible to draw any conclusions from this. If you repeated the experiment at another time you could easily get completely different results. For example, how long it was since your last meal, what your hormones were doing, how much exercise you'd had that day and what you'd eaten the day before. If I eat a low carb / high fat evening meal I will be far less responsive to insulin and have raised glucose levels for most of the next day.

I think the problem is that ice cream is not a naked carb to begin with. Ice cream as the name suggests is frozen cream, aka fat, albeit with lots of sugar so that you already got the fat covered and the almonds wouldn't make a diff. Also the cider vinegar worked as it's said it would. It doesn't remove the glycemic load, it only blunts the spike.

I tested my blood sugar twice for black coffee spiking my blood sugar and once wasn't enough, it may have been an anomoly. But the 2nd test confirmed it. I had earlier tested my blood sugar (at the same time of day on two different occasions) before and after going on a 20 min walk. One reading was lower after the walk...the very next day, at the same time and with the same empty stomach, my reading was 2 points higher. So frustrating. I think maybe I ate too much the day before? Who knows how blood sugar readings are influenced?

I would say one of the best if not the best ways to minimize a sugar/insulin spike after eating sugars/carbs would be to do a low intensity workout to engage the muscles and make use of the insulin independent glucose uptake when the muscles soak up the glucose during movement. More muscle mass equals better glucose handling.

Without reading all the 500+ comments to check if anyone had referenced glycemic index (GI), I'm thinking in the ice cream + ACV experiment, the ACV appear to have lowered the GI of the ice cream, hence the spike was more gradual compared to ice cream alone or ice cream + almonds. I think sudden spikes are not really healthy for the pancreas.

Nuts will help slow a spike as they are high in fat. Possibly a quality-brand ice cream has a higher cream content that will slow absorption of the carbs. I got a big surprise how much flatter my spike is when drinking full cream milk (reduced fat) as compared to "lite" milk. Its only about 2% fat difference, but repeatedly my CGM tells the same story.
