People With Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Should Eat Food in Certain Order
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College found that eating protein and vegetables before carbohydrates could be very beneficial to people suffering from both type 2 diabetes and obesity.
"Carbohydrates raise blood sugar, but if you tell someone not to eat them -- or to drastically cut back -- it´s hard for them to comply. This study points to an easier way that patients might lower their blood sugar and insulin levels," they say.
The study showed that after eating carbs last, the participants´ blood sugar levels were about 29 percent lower after 30 minutes, 37 percent lower after 60 minutes and 17 percent lower after two hours.
