I remember when I used to run out the door with coffee in my to-go mug and Belvita breakfast biscuits in my bag 😳😂 (that I wouldn’t eat until I was already usually at my work desk).
I ALWAYS felt tired (even after 8 hours of sleep), and wondered where all the energy I used to have “back in the day” went…
This was also back when my periods sucked (terrible cramps and PMS that always had me getting into arguments with my husband, Darius).
SO GLAD that’s no longer the case LOL…
SO GLAD I now know that breakfasts like these will spike your blood sugar, negatively impact your hormones, f*ck with your mood and your energy, reduce your ability to focus, be productive, and be satiated until your next meal (which should be at least like 3-4 hours later) 😳🫣
Knowing how to properly time my meals and compose them (with protein, carbs, fat, and fiber) to keep my blood sugar stable is ONE of the simple nutrition principles that has been GAME-CHANGING for me.
It has supported me through balancing my hormones after coming off the pill, trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, and still TO THIS DAY.
This is why I’m breaking it down further for you inside The Wellfed Mama Masterclass (for free) this Wednesday…
Craving a little taste? 😉
Let’s break down a day of eating from a client’s food record real quick:
8:00 AM Breakfast
Bowl of Kashi cereal w/ whole milk and blueberries
11:50 AM Snack
Cheez-its
12:00 PM Lunch
Homemade salad w/ chicken — kale & arugula, dill, hummus, goat cheese, chicken thigh (meal prepped ahead)
8:00 PM Dinner
5 Trader Joe’s pork gyoza w/ coconut aminos, small amount of remaining leftover white rice w/ 1 serving of Taylor Farms Organic Citrus chopped kit salad
The Problem:
Her blood sugar is fluctuating all day because…
She’s not having nearly enough protein for breakfast (causing her to be hungry before lunch)
She’s having refined carbs (alone) for snack (Cheez-its)
She’s going long periods of time without food (over 5 hours)
Holisticaited Solutions:
Add in more protein and fat (especially at breakfast)
Adjust meal timing & portions — larger breakfast portion, earlier lunch, afternoon snack, & dinner (no more than 4-5 hours without eating)
Adjust afternoon snack so it’s larger and add in protein and fat
Pretty simple right?
