A new study shows that how you metabolize calories determines whether you get hungry within just a few hours of eating, according to a new study just released in the journal
Nature Metabolism. Âre you a big dipper or a little dipper? Meaning does your blood sugar fall like a rock, or stay steady? The answer may reveal why some of us might be driven to eat more than others, especially within hours of having our last meal, causing us to be more prone to gain weight or not be able to lose it.
A big dipper is someone whose blood sugar dips shortly after eating, so they feel hungry all over again, even if their cells are adequately fed. A little dipper keeps their blood sugar from dropping so fast or far, meaning their body gets the message: All good here. No reason to eat again for hours, so they end up not overeating throughout the day.

Already recognised as a hero ingredient in plant-based food, soy is the most used plant-based protein for food formulations globally and in the UK. As well as a multitude of nutritional benefits with its complete protein source, essential amino acids, and low levels of saturated fat, something that draws producers to the product is its versatility.
Soy performs well in the manufacturing process, withstanding high cooking temperatures without breaking down. It is able to be moulded into new shapes, making it the go-to product for brands looking to create nuggets, chunks, strips and flake-like textures.
Food manufacturers will face continued pressure to lower salt levels in their products in response to a growing ‘health crisis’, according to Andrew Ashby, managing director of ingredients supplier Brusco Food Group.
Ashby, whose company recently announced a partnership with sodium reduction system Smart Salt, told
Food Manufacture:
“In the UK we have over 16 million people with high blood pressure and that is one of the main risk factors for stroke, heart failure and kidney disease.
“Regularly eating too much salt puts increased risk of developing high blood pressure because of excess sodium in the body. Ultimately, too much sodium is driving a health crisis in the UK, which is why we should be looking at it from a food manufacturing perspective.”
