Scrambled Greens

A daily, no carb breakfast is a great way to start the day! 

Low/no carb breakfasts are also perfect for menopausal women as lower oestrogen levels mean less control over how insulin is optimised (oestrogen helps control insulin).⁠

Menopausal women have less sensitivity to insulin and are more at risk of becoming insulin resistant.⁠

Eating too many carbs or sugary foods (even too much fruit) can exacerbate the problem 😱⁠⁠

Try this easy and delicious, high protein breakfast which is ideal for re-setting leptin and insulin.⁠
