Episode notes
Dom's Typical Carb Pattern
- Dom typically eats around 70 grams of carbs per day, many from fruit and fiber-rich veg.
- He often stays under 50g net carbs and uses electrolytes and supplemental ketones some days.
Ripe Mangoes Spike Glucose
- Dom compared glucose responses between ripe and tart mangoes and saw huge differences.
- A ripe mango shot his glucose to ~170–180 while a tart one produced almost no response.
Pair Carbs With Fat And Protein
- Pair fruit with fat and protein to blunt glucose spikes.
- Combining blueberries with sour cream, chocolate collagen, and cinnamon eliminated Dom's spike.
