Interesting … I tried to have a small bowl of glutenfree cereal with milk for breakfast, or some greek yoghurt with a banana, tahini and a teaspoon of honey - instead of my usual bulletproof coffee. I have breakfast around 8 am. What I‘m noticing is: around 11 am I‘m very hungry and it seems to give me cravings for sweet things. Especially on cereal days. Green yoghurt last much longer and doesn’t give me the sweet tooth as much. If I have a bulletproof coffee (with a scoop of collagen protein), I don’t have any cravings at all and get hungry around 1 or 2 pm, and more for substantial food, like chicken and veggies. What does this want to teach me in terms of me being a Gaia?
