Essential for many of us, the breakfast we eat in the morning can have a very negative impact on our blood sugar levels. We reveal to you the bad habit that you certainly have in the morning and which causes your blood sugar level to skyrocket.
Fruit juice, hot chocolate, bread and jam, pastries, supermarket cereals, cakes… breakfast is a meal that many do not imagine skipping but which concentrates countless foods rich in carbohydrates which tend to generate a large blood sugar spike in our blood. As a result, barely 2 hours after eating, we feel a bout of fatigue linked to the drastic drop in our blood sugar level. Eat sweet for breakfast would be a crucial mistake in our diet according to doctor and biochemist Jessie Inchauspé who recalls in one of her Instagram posts that “a salty breakfast is better for our glucose levels than a sweet breakfast”.
Change this bad morning habit would even be “the most effective method” to naturally regulate your daily blood sugar levels according to the expert. But don’t worry, this doesn’t necessarily mean eating entirely salty for breakfast either. No question of depriving yourself of your cup of coffee or a tasty pastries in the morning if you have a sweet tooth. You just have to choose the latter carefully and garnish it intelligently. We explain to you how to eat sweets in the morning without causing your blood sugar level to explode thanks to the doctor’s recommendations.

Blood sugar: these 3 foods rich in carbohydrates that you can eat for breakfast
If in terms of drinks, you should favor unsweetened black coffee over fruit juice, certain foods rich in sugar should not be banned from your breakfast table. You can eat them for breakfast without causing your blood sugar to skyrocket. It’s the case :
- of a croissant : it’s a better pastry to enjoy in the morning compared to pain au chocolat or pain au raisins. “A savory croissant is better than a sweet croissant!” explains, in fact, the doctor who suggests garnishing it with ham to reduce the post-breakfast blood sugar peak.
- whole fruits : whose satiating fibers replace your glass of fruit juice which ultimately only contains sugars and not too many vitamins, and which will not even quell your hunger in the morning.
- smoothies : provided that they are exclusively “made from whole fruits” and that you add proteins and a little fat, which “are also generally good” for health as the doctor points out.
