⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline
- 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body begins to digest the yogurt.
- 30–60 min: A moderate rise in blood sugar, depending on the sugar content of the yogurt.
- 2–3 hr: Blood sugar begins to stabilize, especially if the yogurt is high in protein and fat but low in carbs.
“Many in the low-carb community find that incorporating high-fat, moderate-protein yogurt options helps manage hunger and blood sugar levels more effectively than traditional low-fat, high-sugar yogurts.”
