Dear ,
Did you know that most people consume more carbohydrates and sugar at breakfast than what you'll find in the average dessert?
Pancakes drenched in syrup...
Donuts and cinnamon rolls...
Sweetened cereal...
Some people even think you NEED these kind of foods for "energy" in the morning.
But nothing could be further from the truth...
In a study conducted by MIT researchers, two groups of people were analyzed.
Both groups started out with
similar levels of the sleep-inducing compound tryptophan in their blood.
After this measurement was recorded, one group consumed a "high-protein" breakfast.
The other group consumed a "high-carbohydrate" breakfast.
Not
surprisingly, the researchers discovered that two hours later, those who ate the high-carb breakfast had more than FOUR times the level of tryptophan in their blood than those who consumed the protein-rich breakfast.
As you can imagine, those people in first group were much more likely to feel tired and sluggish.
So, if you want that "all-day" energy and the ability to
power through your afternoon without tired eyes and a nodding head...
Then focus on consuming protein and healthy fats at breakfast (think meats, eggs, protein smoothies, avocado, coconut oil).
These are the foods that will give you sustained energy and alertness to get through your day...
Without that dreaded carbohydrate crash around 10AM or mid-day.
And if you’re over 50, it’s even more important.
A high-quality protein powder can make it easier to meet your daily needs.
But many formulas are filled with artificial sweeteners, fillers, and low-grade
protein sources that your body struggles to absorb…
Leaving your muscles starved for the nutrients they need.
One of them is the worst offender… And it might be in your pantry right now.

To Your Health,
