all right in this video we’re going to talk about  how many carbs should a diabetic consume on a  

daily basis now for the answer it make perfect  logical sense to go to the experts right the  

people that are certified in this condition you  know someone who has the mainstream credentials  

let’s take a look at what the experts say they  recommend that 45 to 60 of your calories should  

be from carbohydrates no i’m not kidding so  if your daily calories are 1800 divided by two  

they’re recommending 900 calories be carbohydrates  that comes out to 225 grams of carbohydrates  

per day now they also say that there’s no magical  exact number of carbs you should take appetite and  

hunger does play a role in this condition but  i don’t know about you but this is completely  

an utter insanity now why in the world would you  ever want to give someone who has too many carbs  

in their blood more carbs i mean if your house is  burned down are you going to dump more gasoline  

in the house it just makes no logical sense  here’s an example of what’s being recommended  

for breakfast one half cup of oats one cup of  low-fat milk two-thirds of a banana not a whole  

banana but two-thirds of a banana because these  calories do count one-fourth cup of walnuts lunch  

two slices of whole wheat bread four ounces  of lean turkey one slice of low-fat cheese one  

half of a tomato eight baby carrots  dinner one skinless chicken breast  

one cup of brown rice two tablespoons of margarine  don’t forget the snack at night with the fruit or  

nuts and the snack between lunch and dinner this  is a recipe for disaster if you are a diabetic  

and you’re new to my channel you need to  click down below at the end of this video  

to get more information on what you should be  eating because if you follow this recommendation  

you’re going to have a heck of a time ever coming  off your medications now i do want to make a  

disclaimer check with your doctor before taking  my advice okay this is just my opinion usually  

a diabetic type 2 is not on insulin but sometimes  they are and so they may use this mealtime insulin  

formula where you have this carb gram dose formula  which is based on the insulin the carb ratio so if  

you’re eating more carbs you’ll take so much  more insulin i mean here’s my thought where  

do you think the carbs are going when you take  the insulin or you take any medication are they  

magically evaporating now they’re being taken  from one place and moved to another place in  

your body so you’re just basically taking this  one problem and giving your body another problem  

all right what can you do the most scientific  thing is to reduce your carbs down to  

less than 50 grams per day preferably lower  than that maybe 20 grams per day that would be a  

very smart thing to do because now the need for  insulin goes way down and guess what else goes  

down your appetite and your hunger if you don’t  reduce your carbs you’re always going to be hungry  

and you’re going to have a large appetite you’re  going to be craving carbs making it really hard  

to stick to any program to help you lose  weight number two very important stop  

snacking we’re not stopping snacking to  reduce calories we’re stopping snacking  

to do intermittent fasting because eating  triggers insulin apply intermittent fasting  

by arranging your meals so you’re only doing  two meals a day do not worry about calories  

actually add more fat to the meal so you  can go longer and fast and that’s going to  

greatly help you increase more healthy fats to  allow you to fast longer i just mentioned that  

and stop the so called healthy carbs and that  would be the fruits and the whole grain bread  

and of course the brown rice now one other point  that you should know when you go low-fat milk or  

protein or lean turkey or skinless chicken breast  you’re increasing the concentration of protein  

and based on the insulin index which is a  scale of all the non-carbohydrate foods in  

relationship to stimulating insulin you’re going  to get a much higher spike when you go low-fat  

protein than if you consume the food in the whole  form where it originally came with a certain  

amount of fat all right number six salt when you  actually start restricting your salt you increase  

the risk of insulin resistance you actually worsen  your blood sugar so don’t be afraid to take some  

sea salt himalayan sea salt is the best because  himalayan sea salt doesn’t have the microplastics  

that are in some of the other sea salts and then  your fat you want to make sure you avoid omega-6  

fat and that would be avoiding the soy oil the  canola the corn oil which is highly inflammatory  

and that alone can increase the risk of diabetes  instead increase your omega-3 fatty acids  

fatty fish like salmon is a real good alternative  all right that was a very long answer to this  

question but keep your carbs between 20 and  50 grams and your body will be very very happy
