NOTE

Savory breakfast to prevent insulin rollercoaster

Having a savory breakfast is crucial for maintaining stable glucose levels throughout the day. Consuming sugar in the morning leads to significant glucose spikes that can impair brain function, cause fatigue, increase cravings, and disrupt glucose regulation for the entire day. A savory breakfast emphasizes protein sources such as eggs, fish, meat, tofu, nuts, and dairy, complemented by healthy fats like olive oil, butter, or avocado, while minimizing or eliminating sweet foods and sugars. Introducing sugar at this time catalyzes a cycle of rapid glucose highs and lows, prompting increased hunger and cravings. In contrast, enjoying sweet treats after meals, when digestion is already active, has a lesser impact on glucose levels. Thus, opting for a savory breakfast can effectively prevent an insulin rollercoaster, promoting better overall health.
