Low Carbohydrate and High Fat Breakfast

One easy way to reduce your weight is to control what you eat at breakfast.

Good News: Everyone can have better health, if you thoughtfully change just ONE thing at a time. Discover what works!

It's argued that because of our diet, we are all likely to develop Local Filemetabolic syndrome. The most obvious pointer to future health problems is a loss of weight control. That signals the danger of developing Local Filetype two diabetes.

Breakfast

This breakfast is 2gm Carbs,
35gm fat, and 30gm protein.

Your Weight is Hormone Controlled

Try to understand that your weight is controlled by your hormones, and that you can easily control your hormones by how you choose to eat. That, quite simple, new knowledge, makes the weight problem both understandable and repairable. What you eat and how you eat makes a big difference.

50 Years of Bad Advice

That's why what you have for breakfast is important. For 50 or 60 years we've been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that we should avoid fat for breakfast. So trying to be healthy, we eat cereals with low fat milk and margarine on toast. Local FileThe advice is wrong, and it's making us fat.

My breakfast is usually bacon and an egg plus something else, today it's black pudding, but it might be tomatoes or lambs fry, or liver, or ox kidney, or chicken livers.

Keeping Insulin OFF

When you awake in the morning, you are burning fat, having not eaten in several hours. If you don't eat breakfast, or you eat nothing sweet and no Local Filecarbohydrates, you will keep burning fat until next time you eat. You'll find that the fat in the breakfast I suggest takes away your hunger. There's no need to have anything for morning tea.

So now we come to lunch. Can you have lunch without creating a great insulin spike, and turning on glucose burning again? I find that very often that's possible. Here's a typical lunch for myself. Soup, made using real meat bones and vegetables as a stock. Saturated coffee and a piece of fruit.

Or, a little carbohydrate, one slice of bread and butter, or two rye-bread biscuits with butter and cheese. And a tin of sardines or tuna. Finish off with a piece of fruit and a cup of saturated tea.
