As it turns out, Mom was right – You do have to eat your meal before you get dessert. But Mom didn’t fully understand how right she was until a group of people with type 2 diabetes were studied to see how the order in which they ate food affected their blood sugar levels. In this video, I share the results and show you how you can use this simple strategy to improve your insulin sensitivity at every meal.

I totally agree with this statement ❤
When I was a child my family were food insecure so my meal was eaten first no soft drink etc. this was my strategy for getting my meal in before everyone else.
Thank you Becky

Don’t succumb to the meme that you are “supposed to eat candy today” “because it’s Halloween”. It’s a meme used by the Multi National Sugar Companies to rake in Billions.

ACV 1/2 an hour before eating helps too😊
Thank you Dr. Becky. 😉 I often tell myself that I am not trash, so I eat better and I am in great shape when I stay focused and listen to your videos. 24 hours at a time. Have a good day.
I’m curious what the results had been if there had NOT been a full 15 minute pause between macros in the testing sessions. We don’t typically eat like that. Of course the blood sugar would rise with OJ and white bread that quickly. Really interesting study though, and I agree with your sage guidance. Funny, I knew this from personal experience, and often shared with clients that to mitigate sugar and alcohol’s negative impact (if they must have it) it really helps to have food/protein with it, and not indulge on an empty stomach. Now I see the science! Thank you! Wonderful!
I LOVE your generous sharing of so much helpful content. You are really helping us out here! THANKS Dr. Becky!!!! 🥰🎃🧡
Spectacular strategies. Thanks once again! 🥰👍
😬 I’ve been doing this all wrong! 🥴 Thanks for this important info, Dr. Becky!
Always informative! Thank you
Kids will be lining up to eat broccoli and chicken tonight!!!
3rd Halloween with no plans to eat any candy. Just not worth it to me. I eat till comfortable stuffed and find no need for dessert. The longer without carbs I go, the less I want any. Happy for anyone who eats those desserts and does fine with them, they are just not for me any more. Feeling good is far far better than any short term happiness from food. Best of luck to all!
Love burgers without buns, but this no/low carb stuff is difficult for those busy times. I like to keep a few frozen pre-made complete meals for those days I don’t have the time to prepare from scratch. I went to the frozen aisles and found almost nothing without some form of refined carbs (pasta, potatoes, etc). 🙁
Or, simply plan on some healthy chocolate tonight. Mine is the 90% Lindt bar (and not a whole bar, probably a couple of squares). If you indulge on candy tonight, sleep it off and climb back on the healthy eating train tomorrow morning.
