Protein in the Morning
The following was printed in the Dec ‘O8 issue of Diabetes Forcast Magazine: “Loading up on protein in the morning may make sticking to a diet easier, according to a small new study in men. Study participants who ate a high-protein breakfasts felt fuller and more satiated throughout the day, compared to those who are breakfasts with normal protrein content, about one third the amount in the high-protein breakfast. The researchers also tested high-protein lunches and dinners, but found the greatest satiety, as determined by self-reporting, came with a protein-laden breakfast.” (Remember to check with your health care provider before adding extra protein to your diet, as it can be a problem for some people with diabetes.)
One of the problems is finding a protein source that is also low in fat. click here for a soy protein source that may be of interest to you.
