Low Carb Bites with a low glycemic impact

High in protein, low in carbohydrates and containing selected dietary fibers

Enjoy healthy snacking without sacrificing flavor: With 88% chicken, natural fiber, and select herbs, our "Low Carb Bites" offer a protein-rich recipe for a low-carbohydrate diet with a low glycemic impact.

But what does “low glycemic impact” actually mean? It’s quite simple: During digestion, carbohydrates are converted into glucose, or sugar. The faster this happens, the faster blood sugar levels can rise. This becomes clear when comparing white bread and whole-grain bread: The carbohydrates in white bread are digested relatively quickly, causing glucose to enter the bloodstream rapidly. Whole-grain bread, on the other hand, contains more dietary fiber, which can slow down digestion. As a result, glucose is absorbed gradually and can provide the body with energy over a longer period of time.

Our "Low Carb Bites" dog food is based precisely on this principle. The high 88% chicken content is combined with fiber-rich ingredients such as pumpkin flakes and psyllium husks, which can help slow the absorption of glucose. What matters here is not only the low proportion of digestible carbohydrates, but also the careful selection and combination of the individual ingredients.

And it is precisely this combination that makes the snack particularly interesting: the focus is primarily on psyllium husks and fenugreek seeds. The soluble dietary fiber in psyllium can moderate the rise in blood glucose after a meal and has been shown in studies to have positive effects on glycemic control.¹ Fenugreek seeds also play an interesting role here: The galactomannans they contain are a type of soluble dietary fiber and have also been shown in scientific studies to have positive effects on various markers of glucose metabolism.²
