The Claim

In adults with type 2 diabetes, consuming a very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat breakfast reduces pre-meal hunger before dinner compared to consuming a standard-carbohydrate breakfast.

Source: Restricting carbohydrates at breakfast is sufficient to reduce 24-hour exposure to postprandial hyperglycemia and improve glycemic variability.
