PFF stands for Protein, Fat, and Fiber… and building your breakfast this way can completely change your energy, cravings, blood sugar stability, and even your nervous system through the day. ☀️🥓🥑
Most people start the morning with naked carbs… cereal, toast, pastries, oatmeal with brown sugar, fancy coffee drinks. That creates a quick glucose spike followed by the infamous crash… then comes shakiness, anxiety, cravings, brain fog, and needing caffeine every two hours like a life raft floating in a sea of exhaustion. 🌊☕😂
A PFF breakfast anchors the body instead of whipping it around hormonally.
Think…
Protein… Eggs, steak, sausage, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, leftover burger patties, smoked salmon.
Fat… Butter, avocado, tallow, bacon grease, full fat dairy, olive oil.
Fiber… Fruit, berries, sautéed greens, avocado, fermented veggies, or even a small amount of properly prepared oats or sourdough if tolerated.
Examples…
• Eggs cooked in butter with sausage and berries
• Steak and eggs with avocado
• Greek yogurt with walnuts and blueberries
• Cottage cheese, cucumber, boiled eggs, and fruit
• Leftover taco meat with eggs and sautéed peppers
• Bone broth with eggs and a side of fruit
For my ancestral leaning folks… I still prioritize protein first. Most midlife women especially are wildly under eating protein while over fueling on quick carbs. Your body cannot rebuild hormones, neurotransmitters, muscle, enzymes, immune cells, and healing pathways out of thin air and positive affirmations alone. 😂✨
A good breakfast should leave you feeling calm, steady, clear headed, and satisfied for hours… not hunting snacks like a raccoon in a gas station parking lot by 10am. 🤪
