This suggestion has been of real interest to me lately.
Research has indicated that when fat added to a carb meals impairs gastric emptying and impairs enzyme carbohydrate interaction. It results in a rise of blood glucose concentration when fats and carbohydrates are combined, this should be avoided if you intend to minimize insulin levels.
However, nutrient storage/utilization is not instantaneous thus immediately after consumption fats and carbohydrates don’t appear in your bloodstream. Furthermore fat goes though a different pathway to reach the bloodstream then protein and carbohydrates. Hence combining C+P+F, is acceptable
Could anyone shed some light on this issue or perhaps some recent studies which confirm either one of these claims?
