Oh this is all so helpful and relatable! I always have gluten-free oatmeal with a banana at breakfast - I am also often super sluggish after breakfast and I’m now thinking it could be the carbs from the oatmeal, even though it’s gluten-free I hadn’t thought about how it’s still packed with carbs. I’m wondering if no sugar at breakfast is just added sugar or also sugar from fruit?
Thanks again for sharing this! Excited to start incorporating some of these into my daily practices.
i think if you had something like full fat greek yogurt with some berries, that would be fine. most of us aren't getting enough fat and protein at breakfast, so i'd focus on trying that out! play around with it, and keep observing the impact on energy it might have for you - you'll figure out what's best and right for you over time.
Great tips, thanks Catherine. So relevant, as I am wide awake at 3 am...at least I'm not doom scrolling.😄
tee hee!! hopefully some of the info in here will help with those 3am wakeups!
