The ONE Meal to Fix

Transcript

Josh

If you're going to change one meal, change breakfast. What you eat at breakfast still shapes your hunger at lunch and dinner. I mean this is one thing I've told my patients for years. If you eat a good breakfast, you go high protein, you go high fiber, you go high nutrients, like in polyphenols and vitamins and minerals, your body's really smart in saying, "Okay, wow, we got some polyphenols from blueberries, right? We've got some fiber from flaxseeds. We got some healthy fats here from this piece of salmon I just ate." And your body is saying, in your gut, your gut is saying, your second brain, "Wow, okay. We've just got what we've been looking for. This is exactly what we needed. Now we can tell the brain, now we can tell the metabolism, hey, we're good now." So your appetite drops, your insulin goes to where it should be, your blood sugar becomes steady. Your body, it sets the stage to where now you have less cravings for lunch and for dinner. Your blood sugar is more steady, your insulin's more balanced, if you eat a good breakfast.
