ANECDOTE

Childhood Cereal Caused School Fatigue

David Jockers recalls eating skim milk cereal, a banana, and orange juice as a child and feeling exhausted two hours later.
That blood sugar crash made him sleepy in class and unable to focus.

ADVICE

Avoid High-Glycemic Breakfasts

Avoid ultra-processed cereals and single-food fruit breakfasts because they spike blood sugar and trigger reactive lows.
Combine protein and fat with any fruit to prevent cravings and energy crashes.

INSIGHT

Oatmeal Raises Glycemic Load

Oatmeal has a high glycemic load even if its index is moderate, so it raises blood sugar steadily.
Decorate oatmeal with protein and fats if you choose it to prevent prolonged insulin elevation.
