hey y'all welcome to what's cooking with
0:02
Paula Deen today I am back here with
0:05
Naomi Whittle and she is helping me to
0:11
understand duh to look for those good
0:15
fats get rid of those bad fats so I was
0:21
on the right track what and I know me
0:23
when I got rid of everything white for
0:26
me to lose that initial but now I need
0:29
to learn how to really take advantage of
0:34
all the good fats because our bodies are
0:38
a miraculous machine so miraculous and
0:44
what we were talking about is our bodies
0:47
either our burning sugar as the source
0:50
of our fuel or we're burning fat as a
0:54
source of our fuel and if you think
0:56
about it this way and and you could use
0:59
an analogy so if we have a fireplace and
1:02
we have wood on that fire and that's
1:04
like when that burns the fire makes
1:07
smoke and and it's a dirty burn that's
1:11
like what sugar is when we use it to
1:14
burn for our fuel and it creates
1:16
inflammation and it creates free radical
1:20
damage there's a lot of implication from
1:23
using sugar as our source of fuel and
1:25
plus it runs out very quickly so we have
1:27
to keep getting more rebate in it yes
1:30
when you use fat it's completely
1:33
different it burns very clean it's like
1:36
using a gas stove that has a clean fuel
1:39
it doesn't create the inflammation in
1:42
the body and it actually utilizes the
1:45
fat that's stored up inside of our body
1:48
we have a hundred thousand fat cells in
1:52
our body that just want to get tax
1:54
income mower no no no no just gonna use
1:58
that fat and that's what we do when we
2:01
use when our body gets used to saying
2:03
okay I'm gonna use fat and a fat bomb
2:06
helps us do that and versus sugar for
2:08
fuel so sugar really is bad for ya yeah
2:13
and it's and it's hard in our country
2:15
because when Eisenhower had his heart
2:19
attack in 1955 the entire country
2:23
associated that heart attack with with
2:26
saturated fats uh-huh and so the food
2:29
industry basically went to low fat and
2:32
no fat and replaced the fat the good
2:36
fats that we were cooking you know we
2:38
were cooking our eggs and butter in the
2:40
morning frying them up and eating bacon
2:42
and things like that is the average
2:44
American breakfast and we replaced all
2:46
of that fat with sugar and that's what
2:49
the food industry did and now we realize
2:52
you know more than half of our country
2:55
is either overweight or obese we have
2:58
our Simon diabetes half of our countries
3:00
either pre-diabetic we're like you're
3:02
saying right so what are we doing wrong
3:05
and it's all about we just didn't know
3:09
better it was all about the sugar and we
3:11
have to go back to the way your
3:13
grandmother taught us to do things you
3:16
know when my doctor when when I went to
3:19
the doctor I'd go every six months and
3:22
when I went in and she said Paula you're
3:25
diabetic I didn't believe right because
3:28
nobody in my family was diabetic
3:30
my grandmother's weren't my well my
3:33
mother and father died very young but
3:36
they weren't you know I have no weight
3:39
diabetic except for a great and so that
3:48
that was the only one and I I really got
3:51
a lot of heat yes for for getting
3:57
diabetes like I had a choice I didn't
3:59
want it but I understand there's many
4:02
other things that contribute to diabetes
4:05
like stress yes and age and genetics you
4:09
know there's a there's a lot of things
4:11
that can encourage diabetes and of
4:15
course lifestyle and your lack of
4:18
exercise
4:21
but I've been lucky I my body really
4:29
responded to my medication so I mean
4:33
like my a1c is like five point six now
4:38
mm-hmm I think I think that's what it
4:40
was so you know I'm fortunate there but
4:44
I feel like I could almost get it down
4:46
if I don't take that sugar away
4:49
absolutely and if you if you start your
4:53
day with fat versus carbohydrates and
4:58
that's the time of the day when our
5:00
insulin you know really can spike and
5:03
there can be so many more issues and
5:06
it's about timing and then you also
5:09
think what can happen to the blood sugar
5:11
when you feed your body the good fat as
5:14
fuel what that can do just by changing
5:18
timing around when you do things yes so
5:22
how about yogurts and things like that
5:24
I'm a huge fan of yogurts um of course
5:29
you want to look for you want to turn it
5:32
around and see how much sugars in there
5:35
because yogurt is a place where tons of
5:38
sugar is hidden but if you can get a
5:40
plain yogurt and use that no okay well
5:46
we got to take a quick break but when we
5:50
get back I want you to tell me how I can
5:52
fix up that plain yogurt you know what I
6:00
add to yogurt you want me so gross that
6:01
I have sauerkraut because I know I told
6:06
you I shouldn't have said it I do and I
6:09
know our crowd and yogurt because yogurt
6:12
is filled with so many prebiotics and
6:14
probiotics and sauerkraut is that the
6:17
main is that the plain yogurt yes
6:22
Oh cut it two days ago sorry
6:25
oh well so ok somebody's got a bob at

7:46
welcome back to what's cooking with
7:47
Paula Deen today naomi was just telling
7:51
me something she likes for breakfast
7:53
y'all a plain yogurt with sauerkraut
7:56
yeah you know I got to try and convince
8:00
myself that tastes like a baked potato
8:02
with sour cream in it yeah I think I can
8:05
do that but anyway I want to talk about
8:07
the fat bombs real quick like uh but
8:10
there's so much I want to talk about but
8:12
so tell me what's in those fat bombs so
8:15
people want yes understand so there are
8:19
a ton of varieties that we could make
8:22
together and I can't wait to do that
8:25
with you the ones that we ate yesterday
8:28
were filled with cream cheese coconut
8:32
oil coconut cream as well I'm not argue
8:37
with coconut cream so coconut cream I
8:41
grew up in England and we would get milk
8:44
delivered to the front of our door we
8:47
we don't ladies were little that's so
8:50
cool and and and we could get the silver
8:52
top the gold top the gold top would have
8:55
a big thing of cream on the top of it
8:58
from the milk and we would scoop that
9:00
and eat that cream up and coconuts the
9:03
same way
9:04
coconut actually if you if you take a
9:06
coconut and you make coconut milk there
9:09
is a section that's the cream and it's
9:12
so filled with all of the good fats in
9:15
it so you add coconut cream this this
9:18
recipe has some lemon zest some lemon as
9:21
well but you're really getting in all
9:23
Vidya is stevia is the sweetener
9:26
now we're sitting here in Savannah
9:29
Georgia where would we get coconut cream
9:32
here so I would have to look there are a
9:36
lot of brands that you could find it in
9:38
your grocery store like Kroger's where
9:41
you actually see it's like a small
9:44
creamer and it's called coconut cream so
9:46
I think so it would be like in the can
9:49
milk section doing it would be in the
9:52
section where the coconut milk is or the
9:55
regular milk or a fringe or a
9:57
refrigerated section okay and it's
10:00
called coconut cream exactly well I'm
10:02
gonna check that out alright those fat
10:05
moms y'all they are so good alright so
10:08
let's talk about cheating perfect you
10:13
know we're all gonna cheat and eat
10:17
something that we shouldn't and we know
10:18
that but what happens then I love that
10:25
you asked that question because we try
10:29
so hard in this country to do everything
10:32
right right and like we're told okay
10:34
take the salt out take the fat out do
10:37
this which reduce your calories you're
10:39
you know it's a constant situation where
10:44
we're always trying to improve and do
10:46
things in a better way and my belief is
10:50
none of that is what matters and if we
10:53
can just help our bodies and it could
10:56
take a couple of weeks to use fat as
11:00
the preferred fuel so you take out the
11:02
sugar and you start to increase the
11:05
amount of good fat in our diets where
11:08
you get it up to 60 70 % of our diet
11:11
from good fat mm-hmm then our body is
11:15
used to using that as fuel again it
11:17
takes several weeks and once we've
11:20
gotten there we can then start to cheat
11:22
and we can go back and forth one day
11:25
your body wants to cheat and you want to
11:28
use sugar as fuel and that's okay
11:30
because that's like moderation which is
11:32
what you always talking right right
11:33
moderation is so important y'all you
11:39
know you take a couple of bites okay you
11:41
found out what it tastes like so you
11:43
know what it tastes like
11:44
yeah so there's no need to eat the whole
11:46
cake right but when when I took
11:51
everything white out of my kitchen
11:53
I had one cheat day yeah that was some
11:56
Saturday yeah and there was a restaurant
11:59
out here on the island and they had the
12:01
most incredible cheeseburger round I
12:04
would go have me a cheeseburger wrap
12:07
every Saturday and do not interrupt me
12:10
while I'm eating it I loved Saturdays
12:13
y'all and that to me does not sound like
12:16
a cheat day it sounds like a day I had
12:20
that I had I had the rap but you know so
12:26
you know I'm all for having a day where
12:29
yeah he's just satisfy all those
12:32
cravings and that's the other thing I
12:35
love that you mentioned cravings because
12:37
for somebody like me I was so addicted
12:42
to sugar it didn't matter
12:45
I would always be going for that sugar
12:48
no matter what and it is it's it's like
12:50
a massive addiction yet most of us have
12:53
it absolutely is oh gosh I could talk to
12:58
you all day nail me and I hope y'all
13:00
have enjoyed getting to know Naomi
13:03
there's highly recommend this book glow
13:07
15 because it it explains so much
13:12
and I don't have a science mind so I
13:15
don't even know the right questions to
13:18
ask you
13:20
but y'all don't check it out
13:23
because I think I'm gonna be seeing a
13:26
lot of Miss Naomi oh it's such an honor
13:30
to know that everything you've been
13:33
teaching us all about the fat is just
13:36
exactly where we're learning the sign
13:39
I've got a lot of bruises on my back
13:41
from stones being thrown at me but
13:46
that's all right mm-hmm
13:48

13:51
