Start the Day off Right with a Savory Sugar- Free Breakfast

This simple delicious recipe is from one of my latest cookbook acquisitions, The Glucose Goddess Method by Jessie Inchauspe. The book is a 4-week guide to cutting cravings, getting your energy back and feeling amazing by taking steps to minimize blood sugar spikes.

Before You Eat Breakfast, Watch This! – Avoid These Foods To Live Longer | Jessie Inchauspé

The objective in the first week of the 4-week plan is to eat a savory breakfast every day. What is a savory breakfast? One built around protein and fat that includes nothing sweet except whole fruit. According to the author, a savory breakfast is the cornerstone of a day of steady glucose, which will allow your whole day to go much more smoothly than before. 

She claims that as your glucose levels steady with this approach to breakfast your cravings will naturally subside. That’s the benefit of fixing the glucose roller coaster triggered by a sweet sugar laden breakfast. 

Not only for breakfast, you can take this thin easy to make omelet in all kinds of directions, filling it with whatever suits your fancy.
