Tag: Fat first approach

Recent studies suggest that the order in which you consume macronutrients, including prioritizing healthy fats, can significantly impact your body’s metabolic response. This practice, known as meal sequencing, directly addresses the question: should I eat fat first to manage blood sugar and feel more satiated?

According to a study reported by the Mayo Clinic, avoiding a large carbohydrate intake early in the day can help stabilize blood sugar levels. This principle underpins the approach of consuming fat first in the morning, a strategy gaining traction for its potential benefits to energy and satiety.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that a high-fat, lower-carbohydrate breakfast can affect 24-hour substrate utilization in older adults, potentially improving metabolic health. This has led many to wonder: should you start your day with fat?
