Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of advice about fat, which I know slows the digestion, and so in that sense is better for blood sugar control. However, too much fat is obviously not good either.
I was wondering specifically though about a yogurt. Would a low fat yogurt (e.g. 2% fat) actually be better for me than a zero fat yogurt? Assuming both had a similar amount of carbs and sugar in, then surely the yogurt with the bit of fat in it would be absorbed more slowly, and so be better for the blood sugar?
My cholesterol was a little high when diagnosed, but is fine now with statins, and I'm actually considered slightly underweight, so my challenge is not to lose any more weight whilst eating the right sort of diet.
Thanks for any advice
