• What are the best foods to eat for stabilizing blood sugar levels?

    Short answer: Fats. Fats do not raise blood sugar at all. Any other food does, carbs
    much more so than protein. A diet rich in healthy fats, like olive, coconut and avocado
    oil and animal fats inherently keeps blood sugar low, and helps slow the digestion of
    carbs and the corresponding blood sugar spikes.

    Eating fiber with carbs helps slow blood sugar spikes; that is why a bowl of steel cut
    oats, which contains fiber, spikes blood sugar less than a bowl of instant oats, which do
    not, despite both being high carb foods. That is also why a whole orange raise blood
    sugar less than an ounce of OJ despite both containing equivalent sugar. The orange has
    fiber and the OJ does not.

    Drinking an ounce of vinegar diluted in a glass of water prior to eating slows absorption
    of glucose. The order in which you consume your foods also impacts the absorption of
    glucose. Fibrous green veg first, fats and protein second, and high carb foods last slows
    glucose absorption.

    For blood sugar control the rules are:
    1. No ultra-processed foods. The sodas, Pringles, Cheetos, Hot pockets and Ho-hos, etc.
    need to go.
    2. Limited processed carbs (polished rice, bread, mashed potatoes)
    3. Plentiful healthy fat and protein (animal fats, olive, avocado and coconut oil)
    4. When you eat carbs, eat carbs that contain fiber
    5. Limited consumption of sweet foods (even fruit) (e.g., once or twice a week) 6. High carb foods, especially sweet ones, at the end of the meal only
    7. Vinegar before meals
