Eating sweets on an empty stomach spikes your glucose and crashes it fast, triggering cravings. Lewis Howes shares how morning sugar led to mid-morning crashes and late-night binge ordering.
Eating something sweet when your stomach is empty, those glucose molecules arrive very quickly into your bloodstream, which means big glucose spike and big glucose crash. And we know that the crashes can activate the craving center in your brain. So I used to eat sweet stuff for breakfast all the time, and then at 10 AM I was like, I really need like some chocolate. What happens? Another spike and then another crash all day. And then it's 11 PM and I've just ordered on Uber Eats like 5 pints of ice cream. I'm like, how did I get here?
