The same meal can raise blood sugar very differently depending on the order you eat it. In a crossover trial of 33 young women wearing continuous glucose monitors, eating vegetables, then protein, then carbohydrate lowered the early rise, the peak, and the overall swing compared with carbohydrate first. An earlier crossover trial in 18 healthy adults found about 41% less glucose exposure and about 32% less insulin exposure over two hours when vegetables and protein came first, with the same foods and calories. These were small, short-term studies in healthy adults, not proof of weight loss or diabetes prevention.
