Avocado toast may taste delicious and trendy, but it may not be the best option for those trying to lose weight. Here are three reasons you should consider alternative breakfast options focusing on protein instead of carbs and high-fat foods.
1. Breakfast should focus on ketones, not blood sugar.
If you’re trying to lose weight and keep your energy levels stable, you want to prioritize ketones over blood sugar. Ketones are produced when you’re in a state of ketosis, which occurs when your body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. That’s why eating high-carb foods, such as avocado toast, first thing in the morning can put you into a blood sugar spike, which doesn’t help your goals of becoming metabolically flexible and burning fat.
Instead, consider starting your day on an empty stomach or with a cup of coffee with MCT or coconut oil, which are great for ketone production. Then, consume your first meal of the day with protein-rich foods to avoid spiking your blood sugar too high.
2. Toast gluten can increase your hunger levels.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley and can have effects on your hunger hormone. Gluten consumption can lead to digestive issues and inflammation and can exacerbate food sensitivities if you have any. Eating bread at breakfast can cause a spike in your blood sugar levels and make you feel hungrier throughout the day.
Instead, consider an option like eggs, meat, or Greek yogurt with some berries and nuts. These are all protein-rich options that can keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning. You can also swap out toast for a gluten-free alternative like sweet potato toast.
3. Starting the day with protein can lead to better weight loss results.
The benefits of protein are vast, and it is the cornerstone of any weight-loss plan. Protein helps you feel fuller for longer and can lead to better muscle growth and repair. Research shows that starting your day with a high-protein meal can help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Consider eggs, breakfast burritos with veggies, or protein smoothies with fruit and spinach. On the go, you can opt for protein bars or pre-packaged low-carb meals.
In summary, avocado toast may not be the best breakfast option if you’re looking to lose weight. Prioritizing ketones over blood sugar, avoiding gluten, and opting for protein-rich options like eggs or Greek yogurt can help you achieve your weight loss goals. When you rethink your breakfast choices, you may feel better and see better results on the scale.

Summary of Transcript:
Avocado toast is not a good breakfast option for those trying to lose weight because it doesn’t contain protein and can cause a spike in blood sugar, pulling the body out of a ketogenic state. Whether gluten-free or not, the toast can increase hunger hormones and make fasting difficult. A protein-rich first meal, on the other hand, can stabilize blood sugar, help build muscle, and aid in hormonal and neurochemical production. To elongate the fasting window and enhance fat-burning capabilities, it is best to skip avocado toast and opt for MCT oil and coffee instead.
