Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins.
Peptides can increase insulin levels in the body. Therefore, it is important to control the consumption of peptide-rich foods.
However, peptides are also necessary to provide the body with an adequate amount of protein, especially during sports activities or physical activity on a keto diet. Therefore, completely giving up protein-rich foods is not advisable.
One interesting property of fats is that they can slow down the rate of insulin rise in the body and reduce the peak level.
Therefore, to reduce the impact of protein foods on insulin levels, it is advisable to consume protein foods with a higher amount of fat.
If a product does not contain fat, it should be added during preparation.
For example, if you are cooking chicken breast or lean fish, it is recommended to add mascarpone or other cheeses to increase the fat content and thereby reduce insulin spikes.
