Good news! We have got the exact news that "skipping lunch at noon" can really lower blood sugar, and the gospel for diabetics is coming.
The statement comes from a study from Union Medical College Hospital and published in the international journal "Nature Communications", the study pointed out the 16:8 fasting method, by testing dozens of subjects, eating between 6~15 o'clock, eating between 11~20 o'clock and not restricting eating, and finally persevering the vast majority of the population, followed up for 5 weeks and found that:
People who eat between 6~15 o'clock not only have a better weight loss effect, but also reduce insulin resistance, which is also beneficial to reduce fasting blood sugar. In other words, skipping lunch can help diabetics lower their blood sugar.
If you've seen this study, don't jump to conclusions. According to this study, not only are the subjects of the experiment limited, but the overall lack of rigor, and the multiple factors such as whether you have bad lifestyle habits or chronic diseases have not been taken into account.
Not only that, if it is really for a diabetic patient to skip dinner for a long time, and the stomach is a very regular organ, the stomach is in an empty and shriveled state for a long time, and the uncontrolled secretion of gastric acid will inevitably affect the gastrointestinal mucosa, thereby increasing the probability of gastrointestinal diseases.
This is a way for diabetics to lower blood sugar by skipping dinner, and some diabetics may skip dinner to lose weight, is there such an effect?
Unfortunately, after 12 months of weight observation, it was found that the weight loss effect of the group of people who ate less dinner evenly was the same as that of those who basically did not eat dinner.
In other words, skipping dinner will not make you lose weight, nor will it have the effect of lowering blood sugar. Of course, it's not about overeating and drinking too much at dinner, just eating less as the ultimate goal.
Eating less here means that the stomach has not yet felt bloated, there is no greater burden, even if you see the food you want to eat, you don't want to eat it so much, but you can eat a few bites casually, which means that you already have a certain sense of satiety, remember this feeling, and apply it to dinner.
As for the time to eat dinner, even if you eat meat, it is recommended that you choose steamed fish, boiled shrimp, sauced beef, stewed chicken, etc., low fat can also provide high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals for the body.
Other ingredients can choose vegetables that are not eaten enough that day, and meet the daily requirements of 350~500g of vegetables, and the next staple food is very beneficial to health multigrain rice, coarse grain porridge, or potatoes, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, taro, yam and other high-quality staple foods.
