When young women ate yogurt with cereal for breakfast, their blood sugar stayed much lower after eating than when they ate a coconut-based cereal breakfast.

After eating yogurt with cereal, young women’s bodies released almost twice as much insulin as after eating coconut-based cereal, which likely helped lower their blood sugar without making them hungrier later.

Yogurt with cereal gave young women three times more protein and only a quarter of the fiber compared to coconut cereal — even though both meals had almost the same calories and carbs.
