A 70-year-old endocrinologist shared which breakfast saved him from diabetes –

My “old” type of breakfast

  • Oatmeal with milk and honey

  • Tea with sugar

  • Bread and butter

  • Sometimes a banana

At first glance, this seems like a “healthy” breakfast, but for someone with impaired carbohydrate metabolism, it’s a shortcut to sudden sugar spikes and pancreatic overload.

What My Breakfast Looks Like Today and Why It Changed Everything

  • 2 hard-boiled or poached eggs

  • Green leaf salad with cucumber and olive oil

  • A small avocado or 5 to 6 walnuts

  • Warm buckwheat or quinoa (2 to 3 tablespoons, no more)

  • Herbal tea or lemon water

Why this breakfast works

🔹 High in protein  → provides a lasting feeling of satiety, preserves muscles and hormonal balance.
🔹 Good fats  from nuts, avocado and olive oil → stabilize blood sugar levels and do not weigh down the body.
🔹 Low in fast carbohydrates  → reduces insulin secretion.
🔹 High in fiber  → improves intestinal transit and reduces inflammation.
🔹 No added sugar  , even in “healthy” form.
