The effect of consuming low- versus high-glycemic index meals after exercise on postprandial blood lipid response following a next-day high-fat meal.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Exercise performed shortly before (that is, within half a day of) a high-fat meal is beneficial for stimulating fat oxidation after the meal and reducing postprandial triglycerides (TG). This benefit of exercise is unfortunately negated if the after-exercise food choice to replace the calories expended during exercise is one containing high-glycemic index (HGI) carbohydrates. We determined the effect of consuming low-glycemic index (LGI) carbohydrates after an exercise session on fat oxidation and TG after a subsequent high-fat meal.

Subjects/methods

Using a randomized, counterbalanced crossover design, 23 overweight or obese individuals (body mass index ⩾25 kg m(-2)) performed: walking exercise (90 min) at 1800 h followed by no meal (EX); exercise foll
