In this video, I'll uncover the best carbs to be eaten when you have insulin resistance.
Now, if you have insulin resistance, one of the things that you've probably been told
is that you need to avoid carbs forever. And the truth is I've been able to help a lot
of people reverse insulin resistance, allowing them to have certain carbohydrates. And the
other truth is here is that not all carbs are created equal and so that's what we're
going to discuss in this video. I'm going to give you the parameters to look for in
a healthy carb. I'm also going to give you the carbs that you have to avoid if you want
to reverse insulin resistance. And then I'm also going to share with you the carbs that
you can have and at the end of the video have a special gift for you so stick around to
the end.
But before we get started, I'm Dr. Zyrowski and welcome to the channel. If you’re new

Now let's go ahead and dive right in. So, let's talk about the carbohydrate parameters
because this is so important. I remember when I was younger, being in the hospital with
my grandfather towards the end of his life, one of the things she had was really bad diabetes.
And so, the nurses would come in and they'd give him his insulin shots. And the thing
that drove me crazy is that even though at the time I really didn't know that much about
health and I probably wasn't eating even remotely healthy myself at the time, I knew that there's
something very wrong with the food that they were giving him. For lunch, they'd bring him
in a sandwich with white bread. They bring them in a flavored yogurt that's loaded with
sugar. They'd bring them in a bowl of fruit and they'd finish it off with a little snack
cookie of some sort.
So, here they are pumping them full of insulin, but also going and bringing him a whole bunch
of high sugar foods which was just crazy to me. Like I said, I didn't have much of an
understanding of food at the time, but I knew that something was wrong. So, when we look
at carbs, we have to make sure that if we're going to incorporate them in when we have
insulin resistance, they fall within these parameters. They're rich in fiber, they contain
protein, and they're nutrient dense. And the reason that this is important because these
will be absorbed and utilized in the body very different than the typical carbohydrates
that we see people eating today. And I'm going to get to those in just a moment. So we want
to make sure they fall into these parameters right here.
And then of course, what about fats? You know it's also good to have fats during this time.
Now typical in the medical model of nutrition, when we look at diabetics and diabetes, what
we see is that they just strip out all the fats. They want to have a no fat yogurt, they
want to have low fat cheeses, they want to take all the fats out of the whole diet. And
the thing is is that fats are very beneficial at this time. We just need good quality fats
- avocado, coconut oil, if you're going to do dairy, high quality dairy that's loaded
with all the different fats. So, fats are good at this time especially, you know a lot
of times is recommended for diabetics that have yogurt, but you want to make sure that
you're getting that full fat yogurt that is not flavored with a whole bunch of sweetener
in it.
So, let's go ahead now and talk about - now that we know the parameters - let's talk about
the carbs that you have to just stay away from completely. And these are the typical
carbs that are destroying people's lives. We're going to see things like pasta, donuts,
cookies, condiments, crackers, cereals, French fries. All these different carbohydrates have
something in common. They have no nutrient density to them. They are just going to be
absorbed in the body, skyrocket your blood sugar for hours, and cause complete metabolic
instability, raise your insulin levels cause havoc. We have to be avoiding these. These
are the typical carbohydrates that most people are waking up and eating every single day
throughout the day, so we have to make sure that we're avoiding this stuff during this
time. These are not the carbohydrates that you want to be eating. If you have insulin
resistance, you need to avoid these like the plague.
Now let's go ahead and talk about the different carbohydrates you can have. Now these are
some of the different carbohydrates that are great. They are high in fiber, they have protein
in them, they also have fats in them. There are different carbohydrates that are extremely
nutrient dense, so they're going to be absorbed completely different than those other ones
I just talked about and they also have nutritional benefit to them. So, things like yams, yellow
beans, turnips, tomatoes, squash, and all these different fruits, vegetables that we're
talking about here are very, very good. Though they are high in carbohydrates, it's a totally
different style carbohydrates and they act totally different on the body.
Now here's some of a lot of the great ones and one of the things I said I was going to
share with you is something that really set you up for success. In the description below,
I'm going to put a link to a download that's going to have all of these and more on it
so you can actually get that full list. So check that out.
The other thing you're going to want to check out too is I did a full video on how to reverse
insulin resistance. Be sure to check that video out because it's very beneficial in
order to really help us set you on the right path.
Now I want to talk about a few other things here too. Now when we look at things like
berries… Let's just talk about fruit. Let's talk about consuming fruit. When you have
insulin resistance, you want to make sure that you're consuming berries because berries
are high in antioxidants, they're low-glycemic, lots of nutritional benefit of decreasing
inflammation, making your insulin resistance reverse itself. Lots of benefits there. We
don't ever want to read over do it, but if we're going to have fruit, we want to be eating
berries. The other thing too here is that if you're going to have yogurt, like I mentioned
before, full fat, no sweetener, and make sure that you're doing the right thing when it
comes to eating different fatty foods. Stay away from the different vegetable oils, the
peanut oils, the fried foods. Those are not the kind of fats that you want. You want the
coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil. Those are the fats that you really want to stick
towards - full fat dairy.
So anyway, make sure that when you have insulin resistance, you are staying away from those
bad carbs, but you're able to utilize these good ones very successfully. If you have insulin
resistance, think no grains, no sugars, and also none of these bad, highly inflammatory,
highly blood sugar dysregulating carbohydrates.
