Why?

Because it's going to set you off for the day in terms of...

your base levels of how you can control your blood sugar in your body.

And one of the reasons why you might find it difficult to stick to eating healthily, so to speak, or have cravings and so on is because we might have a bit of a sugar dip.

So we might think, oh, what's going to give me sugar?

The brain is thinking, give me some sugar so I can function.

And you're going to think, you know, like a chocolate bar or a snack, you know, it could be like a healthy looking snack, but it's got a lot of sugar added to it.

You might think, you know, quick pasta or, you know, rice or bread.

And there's nothing wrong with any of those things, but ideally you should be thinking protein in the day, early in the day, is going to allow you to stick to your

your kind of, how should I say this, to your best intentions, so to speak, and mix this with fiber as well.

So where are you going to get fiber?

Fruits, vegetables?

Am I going to give you a list of better fruits and a list of better vegetables?

I could do, but I think think color as opposed to anything else, because the more colorful the vegetable, the more it's going to have not only just the fiber, but these things called polyphenols, which are antioxidants.

They also nourish the gut microbes in your intestines.

And those are going to then by metabolizing, by digesting those colors and fiber are going to make substances that nourish not only your gut, but your brain as well.

So I would think protein, fiber, and also some healthy fats.

So healthy fats.

So if you eat fish, tinned fish is super easy.

It's accessible.
