Eat your protein first

When eating a meal, start with the protein source and go to the carbs later. Peptide YY (PYY), a gut hormone that helps you feel full and satisfied, is increased by protein.

Furthermore, a high protein diet lowers ghrelin levels, the "hunger hormone", and raises metabolic rate after eating and during sleeping. Furthermore, eating protein first can help keep blood sugar and insulin levels from rising after a meal. In order to manage insulin levels, one study suggested eating vegetables and protein before carbs. According to a study published in the Diabetes Care journal, the order in which food is consumed on the plate plays a significant role in determining the post-meal glucose and insulin levels in obese people. Another study is conducted on people with type 2 diabetes who were given similar meals on different days in a short trial. When they ate protein and vegetables before consuming high-carb foods, blood sugar and insulin levels were much lower than when the order was reversed.
