Don't eat fruit anytime... If you want to lose weight, "eat it at this time."
I like fruit, so I always bring fruit in the morning.
I need to eat the fruit first and then eat something else.
But... I always can't finish it all in the morning,
I ate half a piece of fruit before lunch... Hmm, so does that have the effect of eating only half a lunch? ^^;;;
Come to think of it, that’s why I always take only a small portion when I have lunch at work.
I'm full after breakfast
An hour or two later, I picked at a piece or two of fruit while working... so eating it before lunch really worked! Hahaha.
Even those with diabetes, unless they eat a lot of fruit,
They say that small amounts of fruit help regulate blood sugar.
I hope you make sure to eat it with a slice of cheese.

If your goal is weight loss, before meals
When trying to reduce excessive body fat, it is best to increase satiety with foods rich in protein and fiber. Protein and fiber slow down digestion, and cholecystokinin ( CCK ) and glucagon-like peptide ( GLP-1 It increases the secretion of satiety-related hormones such as ) to enhance satiety after meals. As satiety increases, overall calorie intake can also be reduced.
In particular, enjoying both nutrients together can further increase satiety. For example, if you thinly slice a fiber-rich apple and top it with protein-providing peanut butter to eat as a snack, you will feel much more full than if you ate just an apple.
According to some studies, Eating fruit before a meal is more effective in increasing satiety than eating it after. A small study of 17 men showed that eating an apple before a meal resulted in a much higher sense of satiety than eating one after a meal. When an apple was eaten before a meal, subsequent calorie intake decreased by 18.5% compared to when it was not eaten.
If your goal is blood sugar management, along with protein
The choice of carbohydrates is also important for blood sugar management. Fiber-rich carbohydrates like fruit are recommended over fast-digesting carbohydrates like white bread or cookies. Fiber can lower post-meal blood sugar by slowing down digestion and the rate at which sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream. Fiber-rich foods, such as fruit, also help reduce the risk of diabetes.
According to the results of a study involving approximately 80,000 people, consuming 100g more fruit was associated with a 2.8% lower risk of developing diabetes. Additionally, a review of 19 studies revealed that fruit consumption significantly lowers fasting blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.
however Since fruits are high in carbohydrates, it is best to consume them with protein for better blood sugar control. Studies have shown that eating carbohydrate-rich foods along with protein sources such as eggs, nuts, and cheese can help lower post-meal blood sugar levels compared to consuming carbohydrates alone.
There are also research findings indicating that consuming protein before carbohydrates during a meal significantly improves blood sugar control. For example, Eating a salad with chicken breast or a little cottage cheese before picking up a piece of fruit can be of greater help in managing blood sugar.
When it comes to blood sugar management, choosing the right type of fruit is also important. If possible, choose fresh fruit rather than dried or canned fruit. If fresh fruit is not readily available, choosing unsweetened frozen fruit is a good alternative. Also, Since fruits are high in natural sugars, it is best to enjoy them in small quantities to control blood sugar.
