Whole-grain oats are commonly associated with lowering cholesterol, but you need over 4 servings to make just a small change. This causes a significant blood sugar spike.Whole wheat cereals made from modern wheat can raise blood sugar more than many people realize. Starting your day with a high-starch breakfast may contribute to blood sugar fluctuations, sugar cravings, and increased hunger later in the day.The best breakfast may be no breakfast at all! If you reduce sugar and starch intake and stop snacking, you may find you’re no longer hungry in the morning. Extending your overnight fast can help support metabolic health. Keep it simple: eat when you’re hungry, not because it’s breakfast time.Dr. Eric Berg, D.C. Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
