    Calories In, Calories Out with Professor Tim Spector

    We discussed new PREDICT study findings published this week in Nature Metabolism Journal. The study found large variations between individuals in how their blood sugar levels respond to various foods. People whose blood sugar levels dip significantly 2-4 hours after eating (‘big dippers') are more likely to feel hungry sooner and consume an average of around 300 more calories over the course of the day than people with the smallest dips (‘little dippers'). Whether you're a big or little dipper is likely to be a combination of your unique biology, meal choices and activity levels. Previous studies have only looked at how blood sugar rises and falls in the first two hours after eating affect hunger (blood sugar peaks), not the dips afterwards.
