Can CGMs be harmful? Continuous glucose monitors are big business these days, and for sure, they can be helpful. Especially for people with type 1 diabetes and anyone treated with insulin, they can be a godsend. 🙌 However, they are now also promoted as tools for anyone to "avoid blood sugar spikes" to improve health and weight loss. This obviously expands the market massively, but is this a good and helpful way to use them? I would argue a CGM can be a good tool, if you know how to use it right. However, there are a couple of concerning risks if you don't, as I discuss in this clip: 1. Adding fats on top of any food will lower your blood glucose spike, but it can also add tons of extra empty calories, which may be counterproductive for weight loss, etc. In effect, lowering your blood glucose spike this way may lead to weight gain, not weight loss. 2. Healthy people on strict low-carb diets tend to develop "Adaptive Glucose Sparing," a fancy way of saying their glucose levels become very sensitive to even small amounts of carbohydrates. Wearing a CGM in this situation may make people afraid of even tiny amounts of carbs, like a few blueberries, thinking that any carbs are dangerous. A couple days of eating slightly more carbs could remove this issue. Berries and similar foods are hardly dangerous for healthy people. With those two major caveats, I'm all for testing CGMs and learning about blood glucose reactions to food. What is your experience with CGMs? Please share in the comments.

What's the number one mistake that people make about satiety? Also, how can chicken breast and broccoli be high satiety per calorie (SPC), if people do not really feel full eating them? This may be the biggest misunderstanding that stops people from using satiety to lose weight and improve their metabolic health. As Ted ⚡️ Naiman shares in this clip, the fundamental misunderstanding is mixing up satiety with satiety per calorie. The best way to get a lot of satiety? Go to a buffet and eat a lot of everything you see. You'll get a lot of satiety, but at a cost of thousands and thousands of calories. Now, if you instead eat extremely high satiety per calorie foods, lets say egg whites and broccoli, you will likely not eat a lot of food. You'll probably end up eating quite few calories. So few, in fact, that you won't feel all that much satiety. In the latter case you ate super-high satiety per calorie foods, but very few calories. Therefore, the satiety you feel still isn't that high. Think of it like this. The higher the satiety per calorie number of the foods you eat, the fewer calories you're likely to end up eating. Period. However, the goal should not be to eat the very lowest number of calories you can. You can eat too little, and that won't make you feel your best. For example, eat only skinless chicken breast (76) and broccoli (89), and your average satiety per calorie may be 80. You'll eat very few calories and sure, you'll lose weight. But it will probably be fairly miserable. It's just too high, too effective. The goal should be to find a good balance for you. If you're looking for weight loss, that might be in the 50-70 range of average satiety per calorie. That's it for today. Don't mistake satiety and satiety per calorie. They are different ways of looking at things. Find the right balance for you. Not too high. Not too low. Just right. Or like we say in Sweden: Lagom. What's your favorite SPC range?
