(And, on a separate note, what kind of snacks do you keep in your desk drawer at work?)
My sugar cravings used to be so strong in the afternoon …until I changed my breakfast!
If you’re grabbing a muffin, a croissant🥐 , one slice of toast, or even a loaded overnight oats, you’re setting yourself up for a blood sugar roller coaster.
Instead, build breakfasts around:
🥚 Protein (~25 grams (you knew I was going to say that didn’t you 😉))
🍎 Fiber (1 fruit or unlimited veg; and whole grains, like barley, buckwheat, quinoa (yes, even for breakfast)
🥑 Healthy fats (This is a wild card. If you add, stick to ~1/4 avocado)
This formula keeps you satisfied and keeps your blood sugar even keeled so those counter regulatory hormones aren’t churning at 3pm telling you to get the donut with your coffee 😉
Now, this isn’t the only reason you’re craving sweets midday - cortisol has a lot to do with it as well.
