A recent scientific study has revealed a simple yet effective method to lose weight without eliminating your favorite foods.
Researchers from Stanford University have discovered that changing the order in which you eat your food can have a significant impact on weight management.
Published in the medical journal Nature Medicine, the study suggests that the secret to staying slim is not avoiding carbohydrates, but eating them later in the meal. Scientists found that beginning your meal with fiber- or protein-rich foods — such as vegetables or eggs — can help control blood sugar spikes, which in turn reduces the tendency to overeat.
Lead researcher Professor Michael Snyder emphasized that the key factor is not just what is on your plate, but how you eat it. “Start with proteins and fiber-rich items, and then move to carbohydrates,” he advised.
The research further explains that consuming carbs first can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, which often leads to excessive eating and weight gain.
On the other hand, eating fiber and protein before carbs helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and supports weight control.
