An expert explains how the order in which you eat can change your metabolism: "It's no coincidence"

When it comes to talking about health and nutrition, one of the leading experts is Pablo Ojeda. The nutritionist, a regular contributor to Atresmedia television programs such as 'Mas Vale Tarde' on La Sexta, often shares with all his followers recommendations and advice for a healthier life.

In one of his latest posts on social media, the expert explained that the order in which you eat food is very important as "it can completely change your metabolism". "It's no coincidence. We've tested it, applied it and it makes perfect scientific sense," he said.

Pablo Ojeda has detailed that, according to some studies, such as the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2015, "if you start with vegetables, you reduce by up to 30% the glucose spike after eating".

Why does this happen? "Because the fibre in vegetables forms a barrier in the gut that slows down the absorption of sugar," said Pablo Ojeda in a reel shared on his official Instagram profile, where he has more than 180,000 followers.

Pablo Ojeda reveals the order in which we should eat certain foods

The nutritionist has detailed the order in which we should eat certain foods. "First the vegetables, energy and fiber, and then the fermented foods, microbiota ready," he explained. Then it's time for protein to "put a brake on hunger". Then fat, "which is going to give you emotional stability," and finally carbohydrates, "when you have everything regulated."

According to Pablo Ojeda, this order of food intake is very important because "it reduces those insulin spikes, avoids cravings and makes you store less fat." "You don't need to change what you eat, just the order and that little tweak can change your life," said the nutritionist.
