breakfast
Khôi Ròm - 9:13 PM -
I counsel my clients to eat a fat and protein-heavy breakfast as
soon as possible after they awaken (no simple carbohydrates, no sugars, as they are digested too rapidly,
and produce a blood-sugar spike and rapid dip). This is because anxious and depressed people are
already stressed, particularly if their lives have not been under control for a good while. Their bodies are
therefore primed to hyper-secrete insulin if they engage in any complex or demanding activity. If they do
so after fasting all night and before eating, the excess insulin in their bloodstream will mop up all their
blood sugar. Then they become hypoglycemic and psycho-physiologically unstable.
22 All day. Their
systems cannot be reset until after more sleep.
