Let’s talk breakfast, because how you start your day sets the tone for your energy, cravings, focus, and fat-burning potential.
Here’s a common mistake we see (even in “healthy” eaters):
☕ Oat milk latte + banana + toast = 🚨 GLUCOSE SPIKE CITY!
That combo is all carbs, even if it seems light or plant-based. It sends your glucose on a roller coaster 🎢, you spike, then crash, and the cravings begin by mid-morning. You’ll be reaching for more carbs, more caffeine, and wondering why you feel drained by 11 a.m.
🧬 What actually works?
A blood sugar-friendly breakfast should include:
✅ Protein (eggs, Greek yogurt, protein smoothie, leftover chicken)
✅ Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds)
✅ Fiber (veggies, chia, flax, sauerkraut, greens)
🥚 Example: Eggs cooked in olive oil, sliced avocado, and a scoop of sauerkraut or greens on the side.
This combo keeps your glucose stable → which keeps insulin low → which supports fat burning, mental clarity, and fewer cravings.
🧪 Your challenge today:
If you're using a CGM:
- Try a sweet breakfast one day (oat milk latte + banana toast), and a savoury one the next.
- Watch your glucose trend. What do you see?
If you’re not using a CGM:
- Compare how you feel after each version. Energy? Focus? Cravings by 10 a.m.?
- Track it in your journal—or just drop your observations below!
