Red meat and fish cause insulin spikes

Just a quick note today as I have come across some new research which has significant implications for people concerned about the fat retaining effect of insulin spikes after eating.
Some Australian research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has suggested that red meat and fish eaten in the evening cause insulin output to spike in the same way as carbohydrates (like bread and pasta). This means that it would be best to avoid these proteins late in the day if you are trying to lose weight or wanting to keep your blood sugar and insulin levels stable. I will post further information when I know more.
