Certainly at the bottom, it's probably not as bad as smoking or seed oils, but it's certainly not good. I mean, again, it's risk benefit. Are there nutrients in that? There's probably not a lot of healthy protein, probably not a healthy fats. There's a lot of carbs. It's going to disrupt your sleep. It's going to disrupt your sleep. So what do you think, a D?

I don't eat breakfast, but I know people who do. If you're going to eat breakfast, a high-protein, quality-fat breakfast is the best. The worst thing you can do for breakfast is eat pancakes and drink milk and things like that. Bacon, it's high-quality protein. It's good fat. And so if you're going to break your fast, then bacon is the way to go. Okay, you like bacon. I like bacon.

No, but it's probably not promoting nitric oxide. So separate from nitric oxide. Okay. Yeah, bacon for breakfast. I think an intermittent fast every day and not breaking your fast in the morning is kind of the best prescription. But if you're going to eat breakfast, bacon for breakfast would probably be a B. Okay, great.

Me too. That's my preference.

No, I agree. But not a high carb breakfast. If you, if you have good metabolic flexibility, the body is designed to maintain optimal blood sugar. We need glucose. We need sugar to fuel cells, especially in the brain. That's a primary energy source for the brain is glucose. If you fast, the body then starts to break down glycogen stores primarily in the muscle and mobilize that as glucose.

So even if you're not consuming it, your body is making it through glycolysis and the breakdown of glycogen. So that's how our body maintains homeostasis.

But if you're not and you don't have a lot of glycogen stores, which a lot of people don't, you can do that through some impedance and figure out then you're going to get some low blood sugar and maybe feel lightheaded and dizziness and develop a little syncope and feel bad. Then I would recommend you probably have to eat. But again, it's the individual. It's the personalization.
