The first meal should be eaten within 60 minutes of waking. The first meal should contain at least 30 grams of whole-food protein before other macronutrients dominate. Protein can create a more controlled insulin response through effects on insulin and glucagon. Protein does not neutralize the glucose response from a large high-glycemic carbohydrate load. The protocol is designed to bridge the morning cortisol surge and the first meal by using morning insulin sensitivity. The protocol does not require a large breakfast or permanent rejection of intermittent fasting.
