It's pure sugar and starch.

I would say change breakfast tomorrow.

Either fast through breakfast, like a drink.

I like to drink a cup of yerba mate.

Fast, drink some coffee or tea, which is not going to break your fasted state.

Even if you put a little butter, I don't consider that as breaking a fasted state because I define fast as the endocrinology, the nutrients, rather than the calories.

But that's a topic for another time.

Or don't consume anything, but if you do, then if you do want to eat, then let it be

the low glycemic load vegetables and berries, and then more protein and fat.

So whatever you can do to keep your insulin in check for as long as possible until, say, lunch, the longer the insulin is low, the more you're improving your insulin sensitivity, and the more you are allowing that metabolic flexibility where the human hybrid, burning glucose or sugar burning or fat burning, it's insulin that dictates that fuel.

And most people are stuck in sugar burning mode because they never bring their insulin down long enough to shift over to fat burning.

So you get to get into this fat burning state, enhancing metabolic flexibility, and you're improving your insulin sensitivity.

So my one piece of advice, change breakfast and change it tomorrow.

Yes, that's right.

Yeah, okay.

Yep, yep.

That would be another way to do it.

It's just, I don't focus on dinner so much because it's just so complicated.

You know, you and I, we have families.

And so sometimes there are, for me, for me personally as a busy dad and husband, even though I'm home for breakfast, the fact that I'm not eating breakfast in the midst of the chaos- Mm-hmm.
