WHY DO YOU GET SO HUNGRY AT 11 AM?

Discover the secrets behind 11 am hunger and find solutions to keep you satisfied and energized.

Simple carbs and refined sugars, often found in breakfast cereals and pastries, cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels, followed by a crash. This rollercoaster ride leaves you feeling foggy, weak and drained of energy.

What typically is missing is fats, protein, and fiber. People especially miss the fat component. Eating more fats will sustain you much longer until lunchtime hits.

Simple carbs and refined sugars are the enemy of breakfast. It causes a sugar spike and the release of insulin first thing! As a result, you start to feel brain fog, weak, and low energy.

In the fat world, for me, AVOCADOS are KING! Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados provide a steady source of energy while keeping you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning. But that's not all – avocados are also packed with dietary fibers, which support digestive health and help regulate blood sugar levels, keeping those mid-morning cravings at bay.

Moreover, avocados contain a plethora of essential nutrients, including vitamins E, K, and B6, as well as folate and potassium, all of which contribute to overall health and well-being. Their creamy texture and mild flavor make them a versatile addition to any morning meal.

Whether mashed onto whole-grain toast, blended into a creamy smoothie, or sliced atop your favorite breakfast bowl, avocados offer a myriad of health benefits to fuel your day ahead. Plus, their high monounsaturated fat content helps promote heart health and can aid in reducing cholesterol levels.
