What are the advantages of breakfast without carbohydrates
But what does a breakfast without carbohydrates actually do? Eating low-carbohydrate food after getting up can help you lose weight. A regular low carb breakfast stimulates the metabolism and fat burning.
People who reach for white bread in the morning are often unbearably hungry by 10 o'clock. This is known as a ravenous appetite. The "evil" carbohydrates in white flour cause our blood sugar levels to ride a roller coaster.
If you don't eat carbohydrates for breakfast, you reach for protein and healthy fats instead. And that keeps you full for a long time.
What does carbohydrates of which sugar actually mean?
Breakfast without carbohydrates or rather low carb?
However, you should make one tiny exception to your no-carb breakfast.
Because you need a few carbs after getting up. They help you to quickly fill the energy stores.
However, these should not be "bad" but the "good" carbohydrates. That means whole grain products. They keep you full longer and are much healthier.
That's why you should never permanently give up complex carbohydrates!
These good carbs take much longer to be digested by the body. So we feel fuller for longer. Typical healthy representatives that should not be missing on the breakfast table are whole grains, nuts, banana or oatmeal.
We'll have to rethink our eating habits a little. Because in Germany, white rolls very often end up at the breakfast table.
However, the secret to success is already hidden in the word eating habit. Because a high-carbohydrate breakfast is really nothing more than pure habit.
Tip: Take a look at the book "Schlank mit Low-Carb". You can get it at Order Amazon. :)
That's why we often can't imagine starting the day with a breakfast without carbohydrates.
What is the difference between no-carb and low carb?
In low carb recipes there are carbohydrates. However, very few and not inferior ones. A low carb breakfast is about making the meal low in carbs. So not completely free of carbs.
And carb-free recipes are really about ideas for breakfast without carbs.
The most important thing, however, is that we become aware of what our eating behavior looks like in the morning. Very often, it's the full load of carbs right after getting up: cornflakes, toast, white bread.
Before you go for the shock of toast with honey (watch out for high carb!), let's focus on what you're allowed to eat. Because bans don't make anyone happy in the long run.
