" It all has to do with insulin—meaning the diet sweetener still caused insulin release, while the lactose and fat in the milk didn’t. Plus the fat was satiating, so people ate less. "

I trained my friends to have cream with dessert, naming it Pancreatic Buffer. The fat slows the release of insulin so the sugar spike / high is modulated.

Exactly! When I wake in the morning, instead of coffee and it’s stressors, I sip a bit of orange juice and a piece of cheese to get my blood sugar up after the night fast. The cheese moderates the sugar spike. Then coffee (maybe with cream) and a breakfast. If I wake around 3 am (cortisol spike when blood sugar goes down) and can’t go back to sleep, I swig an orange juice and salt shot. I can usually go back to sleep then. 3 meals a day again after a decade of IF has calmed spikes and I have no cravings anymore. More energy. Cheers, Jayne.
