Thanks for the idea 💡. No carbs for breakfast?
Ideally your breakfast should be your biggest protein meal.
So high animal proteins, moderate animal fats and low carbs (50g or less from fruits).
Eating this kind of breafast is better for you than skipping it and fasting all morning.
2 meals per day is ideal (maybe 3 meals at the beginning until your Leptin signaling is improved).
Mainly when it’s not winter you could have your 2nd meal with a bit more carbs in the form of fruits and some root vegetables).
At my work, pre-COVID, we used to have monthly breakfast meetings with a catered continental breakfast (danishes, bagels, muffins, fruit, etc.). I had figured out many years ago that I would crash if I ate anything but protein for breakfast, so I offered to bring hard boiled eggs. The person who ordered the catering thought that was the weirdest thing. I bought the already boiled and peeled eggs – at least one for everyone – and put them in a bowl with tongs. They were completely gone in minutes! Yep, given the option, I think most would prefer protein for breakfast, if not exclusively then at least as part of their breakfast.
I eat hard boiled eggs every day for breakfast too. The best breakfast.
@iot577 I agree! Thank goodness for chickens! 😊
Protein for breakfast is the best option
It is. For me, a protein breakfast lasted me just over five hours. There is no need for tea breaks or refreshments between meals.
This Great information 💫✨👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
eggs and gunpowder green tea with lemon, Everyday for years. eat your breakfast while basking in the morning sun for 30minutes. i swear nothing can get me down when my day starts like this.
Mr.Berg ..your VERY AMAZING to listen to always
Truly appreciated, thank you for the support!
I found out as a teenager.
Nobody listened, they are not around anymore.
I have tried in many places in the years to no use, and still not.
I think sugar addiction is a very severe habit.
Thanks alot dr Berg ❤
Thanks guys ❤🦘🙏
Organic pasture raised eggs for the WIN!
Eggs 🥚 🥚 exactly 💯 🏆 ‼️
I always intuitively ate protein for breakfast. Last year I read that Clint Eastwood had salmon & asparagus for breakfast every morning for YEARS…I tried it and was SO amazed at how much energy I had, clear-minded and satiated for HOURS!!!! I added an egg. 😂
Would canned salmon work? Except for the salt content maybe it would.
I’ve always disliked carb type breakfast foods, especially on an empty stomach. After I’ve been up a while, I eat some form of broth (homemade) based soup with protein and veggies, plus a couple tablespoons of flaxseed meal. It works.
One of my dietitians recommended it when she knew my past included keto, and success with weight loss. That was 9 years ago, and no regrets! Manageable blood sugars to date, not perfect, but manageable.
In parts of Turkey, people eat beef or lamb soup with lots of boiled bones, including the marrow for breakfast. But most Turkish people have the trafitional breakfast like fetta cheese, eggs, salami, sucuk (spiced meat you fry or use in toasted sandwiches), honey with cream, cucumbers, tomatoes and most importantly black olives.
However if I’m doing intermittent fasting, then I wouldn’t have any protein for breakfast but rather for lunch
I love fish for breakfast with eggs
Years ago, before work I was standing in line ready to order some breakfast item at Carl’s Jr. (on the West Coast). Noting that the guy in front of me ordered a burger at 7 a.m., I decided to give that a try. My first “breakfast burger.” I couldn’t believe how focused my mind was at work all morning, right up until noon.
Love Dr Berg ❤
Insulin education will be the most important thing you learn relating to health
I’ve been cutting as much sugar as I can out of my diet, I’m 59, always done weight training, I knew I shouldn’t eat sugary stuff, but I was addicted. I’m going heavy in my weight training now, with very little sugar in my diet, and more into protein oriented meals and snacks. I’m really starting to see big gains, more than I ever have before
