Nature Metabolism, from PREDICT, the largest ongoing nutritional research program in the world that looks at responses to food in real life settings, the research team from King s College London and health science company ZOE (including scientists from Harvard Medical School, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Nottingham, Leeds University, and Lund University in Sweden) found why some people struggle to lose weight, even on calorie-controlled diets, and highlight the importance of understanding personal metabolism when it comes to diet and health.
People who experience a dip in their blood sugar levels after eating end up feeling hungrier and so eat hundreds more calories than others, study reveals.
Researchers from King s College London collected data on blood sugar levels and other health markers from 1,070 people eating standard breakfast and other meals.
They found that the drop in blood sugar levels after eating is why some people struggle to lose weight, even on calorie-controlled diets.
People experiencing a big dip in blood sugar levels saw a nine per cent rise in hunger and waited half an hour less than others before having their next meal.
