Fats + Protein at Breakfast

Most people start their day with sugar, processed carbs, and caffeine. They spike their blood sugar, crash by mid-morning, and wonder why they feel depressed and anxious all the time.

If you want to build discipline, stay energized, and dominate your day, you need to fuel your body. That means protein and healthy fats for breakfast—no carbs.

Most traditional breakfasts (cereal, toast, bagels, pancakes) are loaded with refined carbs. This causes:

  • A rapid blood sugar spike → You feel great for an hour.
  • A blood sugar crash → You feel tired, sluggish, and hungry again.
  • Increased cravings → You eat more junk throughout the day.
  • Reduced focus and productivity → Your brain isn’t fueled properly.

END RESULT = DEPRESSION / ANXIETY
