let’s see what this fresh watermelon does to my blood sugar this is 8 oz of fresh watermelon it’s got 60 calories 15 G of carbohydrates and 1 g of protein and there’s only 1 G of fiber in this watermelon so I’m wondering what it’s going to do to my blood sugar let’s give it a try to see what happens all right it’s been a couple of hours since I’ve had the watermelon let’s have a look at the glucose monitor to see what actually happened wow there’s quite a spike here this went up by 49 mg and that is quite high but you should notice here as well too that the spike went up very quickly and then back down quickly as well it was only a short spike because this watermelon is high in liquid and low in fiber it gets into your system rather quickly but that insulin kicks in and brings that blood sugar down so in the future I shouldn’t be eating this watermelon by itself I should have paired it with some additional proteins fats and fibers by having a meal beforehand and having the watermelon for dessert remember that individual results will vary especially

wow
I am not giving up my watermellon. 😂
Fat and animal protein clog your cells and will only lead to worsening insulin resistance
What if you eat this with chicken? Or a spoon of peanut butter??
Can you do egg drop soup
Thanks for showing…… I eat fresh seeded watermelon two to three times nearly everyday in summer. The insulin spike is np, its not too high. Do not eat fat with watermelon. What is he talking about .. Eat half a watermelon if you want.
Try eating close to the green rind next time to get more fiber from the watermelon and then text your bloodsugar to see if this made the difference. Most people onlybeat the red oart qhen they can also eat close down as possible to the green rind for more fiber.
Thank you 👍
Find a seeded watermelon. Compare to seedless
I would love to see the same test after you’ve had a healthy keto meal, because watermelon is my favorite fruit!
Watermelon or for that matter any juicy fruit should not be had just after major meal. It is just not conducive to digestion and it leads to undigested food. Over time this can clog the energy channels. This has been known for centuries in the east. Bad idea!
What would eating it with other things or after a meal for dessert do?
Wow, back before I knew better, I could eat half of a watermelon at a time.
What monitor do you use?
What are your thoughts about AUC – area under the curve? I’ve heard that a quick spike is better than a low one that lasts a long time.
I think eating it with the seeds woud make a difference too?
What great advice. Thank you!! I will definitely remember this and have watermelon after a good meal.
Wondering what non gmo watermelon would do? Watermelon without seeds isn’t real watermelon and there’s no nutritional value there only sugar.
Thanks! ❤
Are you a diet? Why do you do this? Are you a diabetic? I’m not sure what the purpose is unless you’re struggling with blood sugar because it seems like your insulin is working fine if it took down the sugar so quickly.
Do you have any evidence to prove that insulin spikes are a negative health effect?. All my research has shown me that sustained insulin spikes are concerning.
Because the body cannot assimilate the required glycogen into the cells via the insulin receptors. Besides that, who cares about short insulin spikes?
I saw a comment from someone with ibs who said they eat watermelon everyday to help their ibs .I replied that it was spiking their blood sugar ,but they didn't understand the problem .
This is misleading at its best. Propaganda videos.
Watermelon in season is the best❤
wow
Water Melon in greek yoghurt would be interesting
No naked carbs. That’s what I’ve learned from your channel. Pair everything, pay attention to macros.
So could you counter this by maybe blending it with 0 yogurt or something?
I had a boxing coach once who had me eat 6 oz of red meat and some watermelon after each training session. He knew what he was talking about.
I blend ginger with watermelon
All sugar
What about honeydew melon, and cantaloupe?
Add watermelon to Greek yoghurt and you're absolutely winning in life
Eat with cheese
This is not WATERMELON. This is SEEDLESS watermelon!
Looks seedless 🤔
Although it spikes it is way better than sugar itself does man
How about doing one with blueberries? I'm diabetic and I can't stop eating blueberries I pig out on them
How about dragon fruits?
There's a dietician girl who's stealing you videos man. She's annoying. Can you report her?
I want no spikes so goodbye water melon
My partner eats a half a watermelon nearly daily. He will not take his blood sugar and is a type 2 diabetic.
You need more fiber, some fats, and some protein.
