1. Enjoy your protein sources first.
No matter the daytime, you should enjoy your protein sources first. This is particularly beneficial when you’re combining your protein sources with starches. Protein has the unique ability to let your gut know that you’re full and satisfied.
On top of that, following a high protein diet can also minimize the hunger hormone levels, known as ghrelin. In addition, it can also increase your metabolic rate after meals and during sleep hours. And if you thought that eating your protein first couldn’t be more beneficial, you were wrong.
It can even keep your insulin and blood sugar levels in check. A study confirmed it! In this study, type 2 diabetes patients ate the same meals on different days. Those who consumed their protein sources first experienced decreased insulin and blood sugar levels than those who consumed high-carb foods first.
