How hungry are you when you wake up?
Your morning appetite is a strong indicator of your metabolic health.
How?
Well, a healthy liver can hold enough stored glucose for about 8-10 hours until it has to rely on stress hormones to raise blood sugars.
Waking up without an appetite means that your body is running on stress hormones, which are suppressing your hunger cues.
🤯
So, if you skip breakfast, your body will continue relying on stress hormones for a few more hours to convert glucose from amino acids and fats.
The constant presence of stress hormones can take a toll on your overall health, but specifically your digestion, thyroid function, detoxification, sleep, and ... you got it ... fertility.
So, imma ask you again—
How hungry are you when you wake up?
If you're 𝘯𝘰𝘵 hungry, we've got to build up your morning hunger by starting slowly.
First thing you're gonna do upon waking is drink 32 ounces of clean, filtered water.
Second thing you're gonna do is eat something small within 30 minutes of waking—try coconut yogurt with a handful of berries.
As you start eating more regularly in the morning, your blood sugars are going to be happy 'n balanced, and your appetite will start increasing.
AND 👏 ALL 👏 OF 👏 THIS 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 GOOD 👏 THING 👏
It's a sign that your metabolism is firing and that it's happy!
What's your go-to breakfast to fire up your metabolism?
Here's mine: scramble 2 eggs + 1 banana in coconut oil until eggs are lightly cooked. Top with berries, peanut butter, chia seeds, and coconut butter. Bon appétit!
