with an estimated 23 million people
suffering from this illness in the US
alone this lifestyle related disorder is
reaching epidemic proportions hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re learning
more about how diabetes and obesity can
be controlled through diet what has
contributed to the rise in diabetes in
recent years very simple answer is
obesity there’s a direct correlation
between the increase in B City over the
last 25 years and the increase in
diabetes type 2 diabetes which is about
90 95 % of diabetes your previous book
the GI diet became wildly popular what
led to the success of this diet over
let’s say Atkins or the South Beach diet
I try to address the reasons why people
don’t stay on diets represents why has
been successful you know and there’s
usually three reasons first one is you
don’t go hungry on this program because
that’s a real diet killer if you want to
go off of that secondly it’s simple to
follow because everything all the foods
are color coded into traffic light
colors so there’s no counting calories
or points or weighing and measuring
things if you understand a traffic light
you can follow this diet and thirdly you
don’t feel lethargic you’re healthy as a
balanced diet is nutritious and lots of
energy so those are the three things
we’ve addressed and those three reasons
why people often can’t stay on their
diet so that’s I think the simple answer
could you explain the premise of this
diet to us the glycemic index measures
the speed at which foods digests or our
digestive system into glucose which of
course is our source of energy high GI
on the index status very quickly
unfortunately leave you hungry a few
minutes later sugar is 100 milliwatts
index of sugar low GI foods essentially
are more satiating they stay with you
longer therefore because you are because
you’ve been fuller for longer you eat
less and of course that’s why you lose
weight could you give us a few examples
of – classifies rice cakes
there’s no satiating feeling to them so
they’re high GI and really a waste of
time waste of calories most cold cereals
are hydrolyzed new ones coming in like
she without are more complex and have a
lot of protein and and fiber fibers key
to keeping a low GI so anything really
made from white flour where they’ve
stripped out all the five out all the
grain from it is usually high GI whole
wheat breads however our lower GI
because they retained a lot of the fiber
so always look for least three grams of
fiber per slice in your breads for
instance your book offers a week-by-week
guide to reversing diabetes now if it’s
that easy why aren’t more people doing
it what I think definitely people have
it is how I know which foods and how do
I remember to do one supposed to do I
think a lot of you have just ignorance
about this you know they’re not they
haven’t been taught at school I don’t
think the medical profession has time
perhaps on to deal with these issues so
what I’ve done is to color-code all the
right foods in the book all the maths
has been done for you there’s nothing to
count no calories and blocks points or
or GI ratings all that’s done for you
how important is exercise in terms of
your guide probably losing weight is 90
percent diet 10 percent exercise I’m not
downplaying exercise it’s essential for
good health and essential for
maintaining your new weight so my
suggestion is worry about your diet
first and exercise will follow quite
naturally what are some of the most
common misconceptions about diabetes
about your diet a lot of people rely
upon medication to bail them out and
what I’m trying to suggest to people is
you don’t have to go the medication
route if you can change your lifestyle
by the way this isn’t just a diet what
you’re going to do for thirty days or
thirty weeks this is a complete
lifestyle change this is the way you
rest your life and I think if people
have to realize that is this is this
lifestyle change that’s core to being
successful once you do it when you’re
used to this this becomes totally second
nature thank you very much my pleasure
