That first moment you wake up holds powerful clues about your overnight metabolism.
🔍 Pay attention to how you feel when you wake up:
- Do you feel groggy or lightheaded?
- Craving carbs or sugar right away?
- Or are you steady and energized?
Try this experiment: Tonight, stop eating 3 hours before bed, and tomorrow morning ask yourself:
👉 “How do I feel before breakfast?”
(Advanced: Using a CGM: Check your fasting glucose (your lowest or stable value just before eating).
A higher morning reading can reflect:
- A cortisol spike from stress
- Poor sleep quality
- Late-night eating (especially carbs or alcohol)
Try this experiment: Again, stop eating 3 hours before bed. Then check your morning glucose and compare.
