By activating an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), berberine helps your cells use glucose more efficiently and improves insulin sensitivity
Here's what works better: Animal proteins - dense and efficient: Greek yogurt (individual cup, not a large bowl) - 15-20g per serving Cottage cheese - 14g per half cup Eggs - 6g each, easy to eat in small quantities Deli turkey or chicken - 10-12g per 2oz, easy to eat without cooking String cheese or cheese stick - 6-8g, very low volume Canned tuna or salmon - 20-25g per can, requires no preparation Protein shake - 20-30g, liquid form is often easier when solid food feels unappealing Plant-based options: Edamame - 17g per cup, easy to snack on Tempeh - 15g per half cup Tofu - 10g per half cup, absorbs flavors well in small portions Protein powder blended into smoothies - 20-30g, easy to consume when not hungry The general rule: prioritize protein that takes minimal preparation and can be eaten in small quantities
