have a savory breakfast. So, are you saying people shouldn't be eating sugar
00:00:03
for breakfast? >> Correct. So, the concept of a savory breakfast comes from the simple
00:00:08
realization that if you have a breakfast that creates a big glucose spike, you're
00:00:13
affecting your body in many bad ways. First of all, you're leading to your brain not functioning too well during
00:00:20
that day. It's leading to brain fog. It can make you a bit confused. Second, it
00:00:24
makes you tired. It increases cravings throughout the day. And it also deregulates your glucose levels for the
00:00:30
rest of the day. Your breakfast is very powerful. If you have a glucose spike at
00:00:34
breakfast, your whole day is a glucose roller coaster. So what you want to do, Stephen, is always have a savory
00:00:40
breakfast that keeps your glucose levels steady. A savory breakfast is what? It's
00:00:44
based around protein. Then you add some healthy fats, olive oil, butter, avocado, and then if you want for taste,
00:00:51
you can add a bit of starch like a piece of bread for example or some potatoes. Importantly, a savory breakfast contains
00:00:59
nothing sweet. No cereal, no muffins, no orange juice, no granola, no fruit puree, none of that. It's really key.
