In an era where diet trends are spreading rapidly on social media and quickly becoming a popular choice in real life, a simple sandwich made with butter, eggs and cheese is attracting attention thanks to its "hyperglycemic-friendly" claim.
Metabolic health expert Karan Sarin (India) has tried this dish and found that his blood sugar level did not spike after two hours.
The sandwiches Mr. Sarin uses include mashed butter, an egg, cheese and some lettuce. This is a low-carb, keto-friendly and protein-rich snack, Sarin said.
Sharing the same view, Dr. Birali Swetha, a nutritionist at Gleneagles aware Hospital (Hyderabad, India), said that this sponge has a positive impact on blood sugar levels, especially when compared to meals rich in starch.
According to Swetha, the combination of three main ingredients: butter, eggs and cheese has created a rich source of healthy fats, protein and fiber, which are important factors in stabilizing blood sugar.
Specifically, avocados contain monounsaturated fats and fiber, which help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce the risk of sudden increases in blood sugar.
Eggs, rich in high-quality protein, have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels and provide a feeling of fullness for a long time. Cheese also contributes to increasing satiety thanks to its protein and fat content, helping to maintain stable blood sugar.
However, Dr. Birali recommends paying attention to portion sizes and choosing supplements like whole-wheat balls to ensure the dish is not only healthy but also balanced.
Avocado, egg and cheese sandwiches can be a useful choice for people who want to control blood sugar, but should not ignore the overall yeu to of the meal.
