Why coffee shouldn’t be your first meal of the day
Sharing the post, Luke wrote in the caption, “Wanna fast? Fast the right way—water or dry. Fasting on coffee is not fasting. Fasting in a cortisol- and adrenaline-boosted body is illogical. People with thyroid issues, high levels of chronic stress, and hormonal imbalances especially need to be cautious. Cortisol is great, but too much can be detrimental. Do it the right way—be educated, not influenced.”
Luke shared valuable insight on his post, emphasising, "Coffee is not BREAKFAST. Water first, then coffee. Better still—start with water, have your meal, and then enjoy your coffee."
‘Fasting on coffee is not fasting’
He cautioned against blindly following fad diets or quick fixes touted by other cultures. "Stop blindly following fads from cultures that push quick fixes for fat loss and longevity. Eventually, your gut, hormonal balance, and cortisol levels will be affected."
Luke further explained that drinking coffee too early, especially on an empty stomach, can interfere with your body's natural rhythm. He added, "Enjoy your coffee at the right time, in the right quality, and remember, sugar in coffee and syrups isn't coffee—it's dessert."
Incorporating coffee into your routine wisely without rushing or relying on it as a quick fix can help you maintain a healthy balance while reaping its benefits.
