My parents think protein powder is “not for them,” so today I decided to test something – I secretly added protein to their daily chaas, increasing the protein from 4g to 17g (per glass). They drink chaas every day with lunch, so if they can’t tell the difference, this could become a great way they can add protein to their diet! The real question is: Will they realise something is different?

In this video, I’ve used unflavoured whey protein isolate from Truebasics.

Disclaimer: I’m not a diabetic. Results are different for each person, especially for diabetics. My own results vary a little each day. Glycemic load, calories, quality & quantity of food, all of these matter. Finally, I am not a doctor & this is not medical advice.
.
How to see my results: Best is to see trends & develop an intuition on how to eat different foods so that sugar spikes can be lowered. Don’t focus on absolute numbers. Ideally, you should do tests on yourself to get the most personalised results.
.
Why I’m doing this if I’m not a diabetic: Ever notice that lifestyle recommendations that doctors that give to diabetes & cardiac patients are actually applicable to all of us? That’s because doctors know that prevention is the best medicine! Research today shows that lower and fewer sugar spikes in a day reduces the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease & PCOS. Please see the work of Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Michael Snyder, Dr. Annette Bosworth & Dr Roshani Sanghani.

My personal aim (Source: Levels Health – What should my glucose levels be?)
1. Ideal post meal blood sugar increase = 30mg/dl or lower
2. Eat next meal when the previous increase has flattened
