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 scrambled greens recipe which is an easy and delicious, high protein breakfast ideal for re-setting leptin and insulin.
