[@luisv007]

It’s too bad that CGM is not the right instrument to test foods with. Saying that, you wouldn’t see a reduction on a low GI steel cut porridge by adding the whey protein. He is adding calories he doesn’t need. His serve of porridge looks quite large, but the rise 1.8 and 1.7 mmol/L is low, say if you had fasting level of 5, it’s not a large increase. People always talk about spikes but that give food a negative effect. As long as the rise is within an appropriate level, you’re OK

yes exactly 👍

Whey isolate is terrible for blood sugar lvls in general, because all the fat has been taken out, which would actually lessen the glucose spike. Plus, it's highly processed, which has it's impact too

[@MissYalda]

Agreed! The best way to affect the sugar spike from eating carbs is to add some type of fat.

Or maybe vegan protein powder because it has fiber in it ?? Personnally i believe eggs and greek yoghurt are so satiating and so smart !!! Just like cottage cheese !!

Suggestions for testing: 1 Add some flax seeds (boil with oats) 2 Add some chia seeds (don't boil) 3 Add some butter. 4 Add some pumpkin seeds 5 Add some blueberries 6 Put in refrigerator for 12h or freeze in portions, then reheat. The cooling (supposedly) changes about 1/3 of the carbs into resistant starch (which is not absorbed by your body, but very good for gut microbiom). I'm very curious especially about number 6!!

Sometimes i prepare it plain without the flavourful ingrédients, and it goes well with curcuma powder (and cinammon if you want.)

Not going to mention that the second one trailed off way slower rather than a sharp drop with the first time...?

[@DefutesM]

This may be the reason. Anything made into a powder and then consumed will spike your blood sugar. Oatmeal, generally, does have a lowering affect when eaten with other foods that tend to spike blood sugar. Thus, when mixing the protein powder with the oatmeal, it dampens the spike that would have occurred with the powder alone (i.e.: protein shake). So the blood sugar of only 31 in the video may be the impact by the oatmeal on powder, which means the oatmeal dampened the protein sugar spike to 31.

[@Mary-cg1sl]

Make it the night before, put it in the fridge, then heat it up the next morning. The cold cause the starches to convert to resistant starch and should result in less of an insulin spike.
