Ideal macros – More about macronutrient preload
By ingesting a smaller amount of specific macronutrients (in most studies approximately 30 minutes before a meal), one is stimulating these nutrients to reach the small intestine more quickly, triggering the release of hormones that control digestion (like GLP-1 and GIP) at an earlier stage. This process slows down gastric emptying, leading to a preemptive release of hormones (e.g., insulin) and an earlier sensation of satiety before the main meal. As a result, the postprandial (“after-meal”) blood sugar response is better regulated, reducing sudden glucose spikes.
What are recommended macros, and how does preloading help?
Recommended macros refer to the ideal balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates needed for energy and metabolic health. These ratios vary based on factors such as weight, age, activity level, and individual health goals. For example, an endurance athlete may require a higher carbohydrate intake, while someone focusing on fat loss may benefit from a protein-rich diet. Determining and maintaining the right macronutrient balance can be challenging, but Indevex simplifies this process.
With scientifically formulated macronutrient preloading, Indevex’s Preload® Balance helps individuals optimize their recommended macros by enhancing satiety, stabilizing blood sugar, and regulating appetite. By incorporating preloading into a structured dietary plan, users can achieve better portion control, maximize nutrient absorption, and sustain their ideal macros for long-term metabolic health.
How does preloading help determine ideal macros?
Determining ideal macros depends on how the body processes nutrients. Preloading stabilizes blood sugar, controls hunger, and improves metabolic efficiency, helping individuals fine-tune their macro balance.
Can preloading aid weight loss while maintaining recommended macros?
Yes! Preloading with protein or fiber before meals reduces calorie intake while preserving recommended macros. It supports weight management without nutrient deficiencies.
Is there scientific proof that preloading improves ideal macros?
Absolutely! Studies, including Indevex’s research, show that preloading enhances satiety, controls glucose spikes, and supports adherence to ideal macros.
How do I use preloading to determine macros for my diet?
Consume a targeted preload—30 minutes before meals to help structure your macros. This supports digestion, metabolism, and balanced nutrition.
