ZOE researchers link post-breakfast glucose “dip” to 320 extra calories daily

What was said

"That dip in circulating glucose, we know from our own Zoe research, causes people to consume their next meal sooner, causes people, if they have that dip, to consume about 320 calories more over day, which is huge. Causes people to feel less energetic, less alert, lower mood."

Professor Sarah Berry says ZOE’s research suggests that a rapid blood-glucose rise followed by a drop two to four hours later can drive earlier eating and higher daily calorie intake. She says the team observes an average increase of about 320 calories on days when people experience that post-meal dip, alongside reported effects on energy and mood.
