Fried rice is healthier than the rest especially when we do it like the owners of fried rice. We do not know how to eat rice at all. Watch Nigerian movie and actors. Everybody is obese there.

Fried rice Jollof White rice n stew But some ppl cook stew without oil..

Exciting yes, when prepared well with lots of veggies, the veggies and oil help reduce the effect of the carbs in Fried Rice, it's the best of them all in terms of spikes in blood sugar levels.

Nelly yes that's the order. When it comes to reducing the effect of the carbs in rice, oil is good. White rice is bare and has the potential to cause the most spike in blood sugar. Jollof Rice is better because the oil and other ingredients are cooked with the rice hence these have been absorbed into the rice. Fried Rice is the best due to the oil and vegetables used in the preparation. 👍 These days when I have white rice for dinner, I wake up with stomach ache and I need to pee a lot during the night and I am not a night pee'er.

Fried rice because of the veggies and we should aim to reduce oil . White rice and stew , again reduce oil . Jelloff rice

It's mind blowing how something that nourishes can also be harmful to our body, right? Your body will thank you for your healthy choices in your later years. Kudos!

You probably made this comment before you finished the video. Watch the video in full and you will see that the crux is about this part of your comment "vegetables contain fibre that slows down the rate of sugar release/absorption from the food, decreases the amount of fat absorbed, keeps you full longer" not about what you said you are not sure about. In fact I repeated spikes in sugar levels, diabetes and weight gain, pointing to my head/brain so many times during the video it freaked me out while editing but I left a good number of them in there for emphasis. Like I said in my opening sentence, what we eat (a.k.a. balanced diet and totally avoiding toxic stuff) is important, that's well established so this video is not about that. On top of what we eat is the order we eat it so we don't make ourselves sick either now or on the long run which is what this video is about.

Research has shown that eating veggies first, then protein and fats and oil before carbs help check blood sugar spikes. They also help with satiety so you don't over eat

Hi Dorcas, how are you doing? That bowel movement is very VERY important because without the vegetables, the carbs will sit there and be flowing into the blood stream like a drain pipe. That's an interesting practice, I will look her up. But veggies one hour before the rest of the meal? Wouldn't the stomach be empty by the time the carbs land there? I'm just trying to imagine it. It's very important that we pay attention to what is happening to our bodies so we can fix that with a change of routine before it's too late. Lately, I found that boiled white rice gave me stomach ache. This happened for a while, i started paying attention and was able to pin it down to boiled white rice. So my only ways to eat rice now is one pot rice dishes with Fried Rice being the best due to the veggies and oil.

Thank you. ❤ Winter is good to my skin but I hate the cold! 😂🙈 Nne eh, I don't have the discipline to stick to a specific diet. I will fail one way or the other. Abstinence and these basic practices I can do. They are not that strict so I have room to fail once in a while without falling off a "wagon". It's my pleasure. :)

I agree, winter has a way of making the skin feel and look smooth. Sadly, it’s not my favorite season.😆

Your skin is skinning. I am just laughing my arse off here. Girl, you are a comedian.

😂😂😂

Sometimes you will even receive beating on top 😢of

😅😅😅

❤❤❤

Ok. Ada don fully join the train. 😂

❤❤❤

Yes, it helps with that and bloating. 🌹

lol @ diet ke. For real, I don't have the energy and strict disipline that specific diets require. Thankfully we can set up our own healthy practices while eating everything. And I see you've got everything covered in your healthy eating journey. 🙌🙌🙌 Yes, oat fufu is good, I even have the recipe on my channel. But be careful with oat fufu. Oat is still high in carbs, its saving grace is the low GI because of the plenty fiber. But once you grind the oats into powder, the GI increased sharply putting it on about the same level as wheat flour. So moderation is seriously key when eating oat fufu. You may know this already but I need to mention it for other people reading the comments.

Glad to read that. :)))

I love and enjoyed this video so much! Thank you aunty Flo! I do some of them but not being consistent has always been the problem 🙃 😕

The world set their standards that dunking bread in milk is not socially acceptable but it's the healthier practice. 😂 Yes o, with our busy lives, we may not always be consistent with these practices as a lot of work goes to meal planning too. We just try as much as we can. :)))

@@FloChinyere Perfectly said! 👌

My pleasure Kelechi.

It was pregnancy that made me start eating bread. Never used to like it. Now, I can literally feel the sugar spike when I eat it and but it's hard to stop completely. 😞

Oh ok, you are ranking them based on how you enjoy them, right?

🌹

But back in the day when these recipes were formulated, people were mainly farmers so what to eat was not a problem. Those who live inland may have lacked meat and fish because they were neither fishermen nor hunters, but farm produce was in abundance. Igbos who live in riveriine areas have mostly fish and other seafood based recipes because they were mainly fishermen hence that influenced the recipes.

My pleasure Sebastian. :)

Yes, I even have a recipe for that on my channel. But remember that the only major advantage oats (whole or rolled oats) have over other carbs is its relatively low glycaemic index. But oats is still high in carbs and once you grind it into powder the GI rises sharply hence can be quickly absorbed. So we have to be careful with oats. It's not always better case in point when used for fufu and as a thickener.

Yes, Fried Rice with the vegetables and oil has the least effect on blood sugar compared to the rest.

😂😂😂 Sharon please apply moderation biko ooo. You will look back and thank yourself for the practice. Water first is good then by feeding that rinsed stomach the foods in the healthy order you will see an improvement. 👍🙌

Thanks very much sis

I know you were going for that saturated salad cream, right? 😂 That coleslaw and chicken combo is very filling for real so I don't understand why some people must add a mountain of rice to it every single time.

@@FloChinyere Yes, ma'am 😂

I have several videos on cooking different types of vegetable soups with alternative ingredients. Video 1: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7GbgcuZz7ytaJc.html Video 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdCpmdZnqrHGhqs.html Video 3: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d66XhdaTp5qmloE.html Video 4: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMBlga9itNTFY2w.html

Rice does spike sugar so high. We may not notice this when we are younger but later in life, it becomes very evident. These days I totally avoid boiled white rice because it gives me stomach ache and makes me pee a lot. Fried Rice is better for me because of the preparation process. Glad that you are eating a small size of oat fufu. Ground oats is a tricky one because though oat has a low GI, once ground into powder, the GI increases sharply and it's still high in carbs. But lots of people don't take this into account when eating a mountain of oat fufu. 😂 Moderation should still be practiced every step of the way.

🌹

Thank you nwanne m. :)

Yes, it makes salads taste great. Mayonnaise is made with raw eggs and lots of oil, I mean plenty oil compared to the eggs. So unless you are on a diet or have a health condition that says to stay away from these two, you are good to go. In everything moderation is key.

The elders themselves may not necessarily follow the order i mentioned but they break this rule on the regular with their esuru, esuru anu practice. 😂🤣😂 The rule is only for children. These elders eh.

You will be lucky if you are only called disrespectful. Some kind of resetting must follow. 😂 My pleasure Ruth. :)

@@FloChinyere like the resetting of medulla oblongata with a heavy knock on the head 🤣🤣

Yes o! 👏👏👏

😂😂😂 They will tell you that all the home training poured into you is in vain!

hehehe the things we have to endure to eat healthy. Sorry ooo 😂

Me too, I wish everything can be converted to juice or smoothie so I don't have to chew but be careful with juicing. Juicing increases absorption of the the sugars, oxalates and everything the fruits and vegetables contain. Steaming/Blanching/Sauteeing reduced the effect of oxalates (which can give kidney stones) so cooking vegetables is not bad. Oxalates is one of the reasons I throw away the water from spinach.

@@FloChinyere thank you for the information. I really appreciate.

😂😂😂 Nne biko don't starve ooo. While too much can make us sick, we still need it for nourishment. :)
