Dara Ladjevadian says eat sugar after meals, not on an empty stomach. Sugar alone causes a glucose spike and crash 90 minutes later, triggering cravings. A savory breakfast breaks the cycle and lets you enjoy sweets without the blood sugar rollercoaster.
If you really want to eat some sugar, let's say a cookie or 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. Breakfast should be Savory. Okay. In the morning, nothing sweet. Because if you have them in the morning, as you digest that sugar, they turn into glucose molecules, and these arrive into your bloodstream really quickly and cause what's called a glucose. spike. So 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 10 a.m. 11 a.m. and all of a sudden you feel more cravings for sweet foods. 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 sugar.
