Eat sugary foods like cookies or donuts after a meal, not on an empty stomach. Sugar on an empty stomach spikes blood glucose and crashes 90 minutes later, triggering cravings and a cycle that feels addictive. A savory breakfast followed by sweets after lunch maximizes pleasure while minimizing the metabolic hit.

If you really want to eat some sugar, let's say a cookie, a donut, or whatever, the best time to eat that sugar so that you have maximum dopamine from it, maximum pleasure and less impact on your body is going to be after a meal as dessert. You want to always avoid eating sugar on an empty stomach and always avoid eating sugar in the morning. Okay. Really? Yes. So breakfast should be savory. Okay. In the morning, nothing sweet. Really? Yeah,
man. Those pastries, though, with the chocolate inside and just. Oh, donut in the morning.
Keep them for dessert after lunch. Because if you have them in the morning, then what's happening in your body as you digest that sugar and those carbs, they turn into glucose molecules, and these arrive into your bloodstream really quickly and cause what's called a glucose spike. So a blood sugar spike. And then about 90 minutes later, Louis, your glucose levels are going to drop. You're going to feel a crash. And now it's 10am, 11am and all of a sudden you feel more cravings for sweet food. You're like, I need a cookie, I need some chocolate. I need a snack.
I need that spike again.
And then you spike again. And then all day you're on a roller coaster where you feel addicted to sug sugar.
