Jay’s Must-Listens: 5 Nutrition Experts on the Foods to Eat (and Avoid) to Improve Digestion and Stop Bloating (Ft. Dr. Casey Means & The Glucose Goddess)

And then you wonder why most of us feel so terrible throughout the day. Why it's 4 p.m. and we're exhausted and we need coffee or Red Bull. We have cravings all throughout the day and even at night. Your breakfast controls how you feel for the whole day. And I think switching from a sweet breakfast to a savory breakfast

And how does it cause those symptoms? I think what you're talking about is if somebody goes cold turkey and just completely cuts things out. And that's not actually something that I recommend. I think, again, like I don't have that kind of willpower and I want to help people improve their health without having to give up the sugar.

So even if you delay the sugar from breakfast to after lunch as dessert, you're not going to get all those withdrawal symptoms. You're still going to be able to enjoy it and get the dopamine, but with less impact on your glucose levels. And listen, sugar is addictive, right? And that dopamine... is very, very, very, very addictive.

And as human beings, eating something sweet is a very easy way to get a hit. Now, what you're talking about can also be due to if somebody completely cuts out carbs, so starches and sugars, completely. Let's say from today to tomorrow, you cut out all carbs.

That can cause issues because if you've been eating carbs your whole life, your body expects these carbs every two to three to four hours, and your body's actually just burning glucose for energy. So all of a sudden, you cut off its supply of glucose, and it becomes a little bit stressed out, especially if your body's not used to also burning fat for fuel.

In a healthy body, you can switch from burning glucose for energy to burning fat for energy easily. So either you eat glucose and your body gets energy that way, or you're not eating and your body's burning fat. And most of us, we're eating every two to three to four hours some carbs. And so our body doesn't know how to burn fat for fuel anymore. It doesn't have that muscle.

So the idea is to train it slowly to be able to do that, not to just cut out completely the glucose, you know, cut the grass under the foot too quickly. That's going to be difficult.
