Resistance training alone won't make up for a sloppy diet - no matter if you do it before or after meals. I am not sure how feasible this is going to be for you, but if you are a type II diabetic or anyone concerned about the potential detrimental health effects of the rise in glucose and triglycerides after a meal, working out 45 minutes after dinner is the way to go. Abnormally elevated postprandial glucose and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations are strong risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type-2 diabetes. Therefore, scientists expect that interventions that reduce postprandial glucose and TAG concentrations should lower the risk of CVD (Krook. 2003; O'Gorman. 2008).

The power of GI calculations is limited and even with meals as simple as the one in the picture, the calculated glycemic index can be ~50% off! As a SuppVersity reader you've repeatedly read about macronutrient interactions, such as the insulin boosting effects of whey protein or dietary fat , studies that investigate the effects of the individual ingredients of a complete meal on the glycemic response healthy men and women, however, are scarce. Against that background the results of a recent study from the Clinical Nutrition Research Centre at the Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences are of particular interest. After all, the Lijun Sun et al. (2014) determined the effect of co-ingesting a high-protein food (breast chicken), a fat (ground nut oil), a leafy vegetable or all three on the glycaemic and insulinaemic responses of white rice in healthy adults and did thus produce results that could be practically relevant for all of us - more relevant than inaccurately calc...

Judged by the way they are looking at each other they don't care about their differential glucose / insulin response too coffee, but if you do, I suggest you scroll down and read the pertaining news item. 7.3% and 21.4%, those are the SuppVersity figures of the week. Figures that stand for the 2011 youth- and 2010 adult obesity rates in Colorado and they represent the nationwide "optimum" - at least according to CDC data from the respective years. Now, it was already hard to find US states with obesity rates below the nationwide average of 13% (youths) and 27.6% (adults). What is yet even harder or rather impossible is to dig up studies which try to elucidate why Colorado is the "leanest" of the 50 US states. Non-exhausting physical activity, for example, would be a candidate, but according to Wyatt et al. the "[e]ven in Colorado , one of the leanest states, very low levels of physical activity are seen in much of the population." (Wyatt. 2005). ...
