From what I've been learning with my glucose monitor, it's really important for me to start the day with a good breakfast. Here I've got some sprouted whole wheat toast, scrambled eggs, avocado, and some shredded cheddar cheese. And I've got a sliced tomato on the side. So this for me has a great balance of complex carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and fiber. All right, I'm really hungry. So let's give this a try. All right, so it's been two hours since I've eaten the breakfast. Let's have a look at the glucose monitor and see what happened here. So there's no dramatic blood sugar spike here. It's only gone up about one point, which happened about half an hour after I ate the breakfast. I was wondering what the toast was going to do because there's a lot of simple carbs there. But obviously there was enough protein, fat, and fiber in that meal to balance everything out. I'm noticing that if I spike my blood sugar early in the day, I end up craving sweets for the rest of the day. But that was definitely not the case here. Stay tuned for more.
