Episode 244: Can't Lose Weight? Top Breakfast Foods to Eat

 

If you’ve been told to skip breakfast or fast until noon to lose weight, this episode is for you. Research actually shows the opposite. Women who eat breakfast have better blood sugar, lower inflammation, fewer cravings, and a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome. But here’s the catch: what you eat for breakfast will make or break your hormones, appetite, and weight loss results for the entire day.

In this episode I’m sharing:

  • Why eating breakfast is one of the easiest ways to support weight loss and hormone balance

  • The exact protein target you need to hit for stable energy, cravings, and metabolism

  • My go-to breakfast proteins: eggs, chicken sausage, salmon, Greek yogurt, and more

  • Why fiber is essential for blood sugar balance, and the best morning sources of fiber

  • How to build a satiating breakfast bowl with reheated resistant-starch potatoes, veggies, and protein

  • The low-glycemic carbs that keep cravings away

  • Why smoothies often fail women, and how to build one that’s blood-sugar friendly and actually filling

  • Whether you should drink coffee before breakfast

  • How to create 2–3 easy breakfasts you can rotate without feeling bored or overwhelmed

The first meal of your day sets your metabolism, mood, and cravings in motion. This episode will show you how to build a breakfast that stabilizes blood sugar, supports hormones, and makes weight loss feel effortless, not punishing.
