At night, when you sleep, you’re fasting! Your liver releases stored glucose and enters a repair mode called autophagy while you sleep, and when you eat breakfast, you interrupt this process. Your insulin levels are lowest in the morning, and fat-burning is directly linked to low insulin levels. Eggs and bacon are a good breakfast, but most people consume more carbs, which stimulates insulin production. Breakfast for most people includes foods such as sweetened yogurt, juice, cereal, pancakes, waffles, muffins, toast, jelly, hash browns, and more! This creates a massive blood sugar spike, setting you up for a day full of blood sugar swings. Many people eat eggs and bacon with their carbs and assume it’s fine as long as they’re getting protein. Although protein can help lower blood sugar, it does not reduce insulin levels. Chronic high insulin can have the following effects on your liver and overall health: • Inability to burn fat • Keeps the body in fat-storing mode • Sodium retention • Increased hunger • Inflammation • Visceral fat • Iron retention • Halts ketosis • Fibrosis of the liver • Increased androgens • Fatigue • Nighttime urination • Increased cortisol The best breakfast is no breakfast! Eating two meals per day with no snacks and following a keto diet forces your body to use ketones for energy, so you can easily go from one meal to the next without being hungry. When I stopped eating breakfast, I noticed improved mental capacity and mood, and I immediately lost weight! Try eliminating carbs from your breakfast and diet, and don’t eat in the morning if you’re not hungry. Keep pushing your first meal closer to lunch time until your body adjusts. This will be incredibly beneficial for your liver health. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

I quit sugar after watching your videos. Now I have this never ending energy all day, and I don't get up to pee at night anymore.

I have never felt hungry on a morning so this makes a ton of sense. My parents literally had to force me to have breakfast growing up
