Morning Carbs

Nutrition
1

Good morning maybe someone here will be able to help. When I eat carbs, oatmeal,bread,bagels in the morning for breakfast, I get really flushed, out of breath and feel like I ate a balloon all morning.

I am just curious as to what may cause this? Although I can tend to feel full if I eat the same thing later in the day, it is never to the extent as first thing in the morning.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Google ‘metabolic flexibility’ - JM follows some of the principles and he’s a ripped monster. In a nutshell, hold of carbs until lunchtime, so fats and protein for breakfast which theoretically means prolonged fat burning.

You wouldn’t be the first person to get a shitty carb rebound first thing in the AM ;0)

It could also be an intolerance to gluten. All of the foods you listed have it.

Its funny because Insulin is low and blood glucose usually high in the morning due to cortisol, which means that people are set up perfectly in the morning to run on bodyfat, and there is no real reason to take in carbs at that point, and yet people continue to insist on eating carbs for breakfast.

If your blood sugar is already 95 from the normal morning cortisol spike, and fat is mobilized and insulin is LOW, why do you want carbs in the morning. You need a muscle protective dose of protein, like a few grams.

Refer to @mertdawg ,

I have always eaten plenty of carbs in the morning as u said oats etc, however sort of irrelevant but i read a recent article saying that you should not eat carbs in the morning as it interrupts cotisol that is at its peak prior to waking up and eating carbs will stop the fat burning process

It is irrelevant. Even protein can elicit an insulin response. Total calories over the course of the day is the biggest factor on weight gain. Alan Aargon comments on this.
