week when i post a new video on how to reverse insulin resistance lose weight and improve your health pre-diabetes diet tip number one what to eat forget about calories focus on macronutrients i've done a couple great trainings like this one over the past that has over a hundred and seventy thousand views on youtube i'll link to that below so you can watch it next in a nutshell you'll want to prioritize complete protein in your diet a starting point we recommend is 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day if you weigh 200 pounds that's 200 divided by 2.2 so 91 kilograms times 1.5 is 136 grams of protein if that seems like a lot a great starter goal is to get 30 grams of protein per meal this will make tip number two easier it's also important to eat healthy fats these would include omega-3 fatty acids from fish like salmon and tuna omega-9 fatty acids from olives and avocados in their oils and unprocessed omega-6 fatty acids from nuts seeds and their butters i consider saturated fat from healthy sources like grass-fed beef eggs and whole fat dairy healthy too because it's been it's been shown to raise hdl avoid or really limit processed seed and vegetable oils which are hiding in so many foods being marketed as healthy including many salad dressings which ruin the health of your salad canola corn cotton seed soybean sunflower safflower grape seed and rice bran are those oils to avoid these oils are very high in polyunsaturated fatty acids or pufas which promote inflammation and the accumulation of toxins in your body that contribute to insulin resistance next choose your carbs wisely there are three main types of carbs starch sugar and fiber starch and sugar will spike your blood glucose so stick with carb sources that are higher in fiber and lower in starch and sugar such as non-starchy veggies like broccoli cauliflower greens cucumbers peppers zucchini and low glycemic fruits like blackberries raspberries strawberries avocados coconuts and olives smaller portions of grains and legumes like brown rice quinoa beans and lentils are okay too but it's important to eat them at the right time in your meal to reduce the blood sugar response that brings me to tip number two pre-diabetes diet tip number two how to eat at any given meal your blood glucose response will be lower if you eat your protein first then your fat then your healthy carb a bonus tip is to have one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar 30 minutes before your meal or your main meal of the day this has been shown to lower the post-meal blood glucose response pre-diabetes diet tip 3 when to eat aim for a minimum of 12 hours of fasting a day like 7 p.m to 7 a.m to find the best window for you figure out when you want to be asleep like 10 p.m and backtrack three hours so stop eating three hours before bed or at 7 pm this allows you time to process your food and not store it right away as fat plus you're less insulin sensitive at night meaning your body won't process carbs as efficiently your best to have higher carb meals earlier in the day and lower carb at night you can progress to more intermittent fasting but each person's strategy for that is different based on their age menopausal status time and their menstrual cycle sex activity levels and so on it's also important to have two to three large meals a day and stop snacking and grazing that allows blood sugars to come back down between meals and lower your average blood sugar and insulin levels for the day pre-diabetes diet tip number four what not to drink drinking water is an underrated health habit moderate amounts of caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee are okay what you want to avoid is any added sugar and drinks from foo-foo coffee drinks or pop or sports drinks anything like that also avoid unhealthy artificial sweeteners like i talk about in this video while they are sugar-free they still raise blood sugar those are maltodextrin sucralose acelfane potassium saccharin and aspartame this usually involves giving up diet pop too you're harming your gut and its ability to process carbs stick with healthier sugar substitutes of stevia monk fruit and erythritol remember we're almost to tip number five but stay till the end to learn how to actually put these tips into practice and reverse your pre-diabetes in 12 weeks or less pre-diabetes diet tip number five
