Research Suggests Eggs For Breakfast Are Great For Preventing Metabolic Disease

Research Suggests Eggs For Are Breakfast Great For Preventing Metabolic Disease.

EGG-CITING NEWS FOR METABOLIC DISEASE!

Scrambled, poached or sunny side up, eating eggs flips refined grains off the plate according to a recent randomised, controlled trial. Thirty-four type 2 diabetics were recommended to either consume two eggs daily or to avoid eggs for 12 weeks, while tracking daily dietary habits. Eating
eggs was found to reduce consumption of (higher glycaemic) refined grains and improve overall protein intake – a delicious way for patients to bolster nutrition, support healthy blood glucose levels and reap metabolic rewards.

This comes as no surprise. I have worked closely with client’s nutrition in clinic for close to 20 years and have that those who eat a hearty, protein based breakfast each day find it much easier to regulate their blood sugar levels throughout the day. The implications of being able to regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day include:

  • Less hunger throughout the day – including mid-late afternoon munchies.
  • Less cravings for sweet or savoury throughout the day – including those mid-late afternoon or post dinner.
  • More consistent energy levels throughout the day – and less or no slump mid-late afternoon.
  • Better mental clarity and moods ”   ”    ”    ”    ”    ”    ”    ”    “
  • Consumption of less refined carbohydrates and sugar.
  • Feeling fuller, for longer.
  • Weight, or more specifically, fat loss – and consistently.
  • Reduction of Type II diabetes symptoms.
  • Often reduction in the amount of insulin required by Type I diabetics.
  • Amongst other things.

And eggs are the easiest, and most simple to prepare way of having a hearty, protein based breakfast – or any other meal. But add vegetables, nuts and seeds of fresh fruit seasonal to your climate for carbohydrates, before, or rather than going crazy on the toast.
