Does protein plus strength training protect muscle while dieting?
Probably yes — enough protein with resistance training preserves muscle in a calorie deficit, but protein alone won't substitute for the training.
high-protein intake + resistance training preserves lean mass during energy deficit
Does tailoring your diet with a glucose monitor improve blood sugar?
Yes — personalizing diet by your own glucose responses improves control, confirmed in independent trials.
personalized CGM-guided diet improves glycemic control
Does a short walk after eating really blunt the blood-sugar spike?
Yes — light post-meal activity reliably lowers the glucose spike, though the ~27-30% figure is an upper-end average, not a universal number.
post-meal movement decreases postprandial glucose
Does blood sugar after a meal differ person to person?
Yes, predicted by gut bacteria more than genes — which is why it's best measured individually.
postprandial glucose varies with individual and microbiome
Should healthy people wear a CGM to prevent disease?
No trial evidence shows glycemic or health benefit from CGM in metabolically healthy people; the "everyone should wear one" claim is unsupported.
continuous glucose monitoring improves metabolic outcomes in metabolically healthy people
