🥩 The “First Meal Anchor” Trick (Even If You’re Not Carnivore)
One of the fastest ways to calm cravings and mood swings
has nothing to do with willpower…
and everything to do with how you eat your first real meal of the day.
Most people start the day with:
  • Toast, cereal, fruit, “healthy” granola
  • Or worse: just coffee and vibes ☕️
Then by afternoon they’re:
  • Irritable
  • Craving sugar
  • Raiding the pantry
Here’s a simple experiment that works whether you’re carnivore, low carb, or just “trying to do better”:
For the next 3–5 days:
  1. Make your first real meal mostly protein and fat.
Examples:
  • Eggs + bacon
  • Ground beef with a bit of cheese
  • Salmon and eggs
  • Leftover steak with butter
2. Skip the big hit of carbs in that first meal.
  • No toast, cereal, juice, pastries, big fruit bowls
  • If you must have carbs, keep it small and eat it after your protein
3. Watch what happens to:
  • Your 10-11 am. snack urge
  • Your afternoon energy
  • Your mood in the evening
Why this works:
Starting the day with protein and fat keeps blood sugar steadier and gives your brain the amino acids it needs to function. That means fewer crashes → fewer “I have no self-control” moments.
This is one of the quiet levers we use in carnivore: win the first meal, and the rest of the day gets easier by default.
