Protein breakdown products stimulate GLP-1 through binding to calcium-sensing receptors on the guts L-cells. Foods high in good monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados and almonds, for instance) and those high in polyunsaturated fats (fatty fish like salmon, walnuts and tofu) are potent stimulators of GLP-1, Pines said, adding: In a study of people with Type 2 diabetes, there was a higher GLP-1 response following a meal that contained olive oil compared to butter - which is high in saturated fat and less healthy than monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. Dr Pines believes youre also best favouring polyphenol-rich foods, as some polyphenols can boost GLP-1 by either directly causing the L-cells to increase secretion or indirectly through gut bacteria
