Blood Sugar Dips: Why Some People Are Hungry All The Time with Dr. Ana Valdes & Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

If you’re feeling hungry all the time and struggling to lose weight, the answer may lie in how your body is responding to the foods you’re eating. Our latest research, published in Nature Metabolism today, shows that people who experience big blood sugar dips after eating feel hungrier sooner and eat more calories during the day.

Jonathan Wolf, co-founder & CEO of ZOE, is joined by Dr. Ana Valdes and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to discuss our newest paper in detail. They cover some pretty astonishing findings, including answers to questions like:
• Are you eating food that actually makes you hungrier?
• Do you have big blood sugar dips?
• Could you lose weight without reducing calories, simply by swapping the food you eat?
