Post Prandial Ghrelin Response

[Globetrotter 1,340]

Here is a link to a scientific research study showing that high Protein breakfasts lead to long term reduction in ghrelin response, that satiety lasts longer with pure Protein, and that ghrelin is glucose dependent, fascinating!!

This study only used men! Would it necessarily be the same for women? There are already studies showing that other things like intermittent fasting May in fact be bad for women and yet great for men, but because the initial studies included men only people assumed that it would be good for all. Also a study including only 15 people is a little disconcerting. Having said all that, it is still interesting and I hope more studies are done using more people of both sexes.

Nice to know and thanks for posting. What is surprising is that it is completely opposite to the saying/recommendation that we should eat our carbs early in the day.

I should get back on the wagon. Cheers !

Thanks! This info fits with my anecdotal evidence. If I eat enough Protein and calories earlier in the day, I don't get the bad after dinner cravings. Like many others, once I go down the sweet/carb road, it's hard to turn back.
