You’ll want to avoid carbs late in the evening hours as they give rise to the storage hormone insulin, shutting down fat burning and increasing fat storage as your metabolism is slowing in the hours before bed. But what you may not know is that carbs aren’t the only foods that yield a
significant insulin response, and that some protein sources actually spike insulin even higher than white bread or pasta!
The 2 big insulin offenders are:
1. Red meat
2. Fish
In a study performed by Australian researchers and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers discovered that these 2 protein sources (and several others) spiked insulin levels to a degree similar to — or even GREATER than — bread or pasta.
Instead, you’ll want to choose protein sources that score low on the insulin index
