“Omega-3s also alter the makeup of the gut microbiota, favoring butyrate-producing species. However, some of the studies on which these conclusions are based used processed oils and provided refined carbohydrates with the test meals, confounding the analysis.”

“Interestingly, the beneficial effects of a high fat diet were only observed with the ketogenic diet. Feeding the mice a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet or providing exogenous ketones in the diet had no beneficial effects against influenza virus.”

“These enzymes transfer electrons from carbohydrates and fats to the final enzyme in the chain that produces ATP. Electron transfer flavoprotein is an enzyme in this chain that transfers electrons from fats, specifically.”

“When participants experienced the short sleep condition, they tended to consume more carbohydrates, added sugars, and sweet drinks, and fewer fruits and vegetables than when they experienced the healthy sleep condition.”

“Of the entire human genome, approximately 15 percent of the genes display daily oscillations, or fluctuations, in their activity. Many of these genes participate in carbohydrate, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism.”

“Upon cold exposure, the gut microbiota composition in mice changes to support the activation of nonshivering thermogenesis by increasing the uptake of carbohydrates and lipoprotein-derived triglycerides.”

“By choosing low-glycemic, nutrient-rich carbohydrate sources, we can support stable blood glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity. Prioritize protein Adequate protein intake from quality sources—such as meat, dairy, and eggs—supports metabolic health by promoting satiety and muscle maintenance.”

“Small crossover studies in adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes found that eating vegetables and protein before carbohydrate reduced post-meal glucose exposure and lowered the glucose peak compared with eating carbohydrate first.”

“Carbohydrate Intake for Athletes and Exercisers "I do think it is helpful to modulate carbohydrate intake based on training intensity and volume. If you are not training hard today, you should not eat like you are. But if it is a big training day, fuel it like it."”

“Food order offers one practical lever. In a randomized crossover study of adults with prediabetes, eating vegetables and protein before carbohydrate reduced the post-meal glucose area under the curve by about 39% compared with eating carbohydrate first.”
