The first meal of the day is traditionally eaten together around the breakfast table in many households in America. Although I live alone, I've kept up with the traditions of my own family, i.e., I always prepare and eat breakfast.

This is an easy breakfast recipe!

Delicious breakfast !

Almond flour is a standard substitute for regular flour. It's low in carbohydrates and is gluten-free. Almond flour is made from blanched ground almonds. It is incredibly healthy!

Refined wheat is high in carbohydrates but low in fat and fiber. On the other hand, almond flour is low in carbs yet high in healthy fats and fiber. That makes almond flour better for blood sugar levels.

Reasons to Eat Less (or Avoid) Refined Carbs
Complex carbs, like whole grains, are preferred over refined carbs. Uncontrolled or exclusive intake of refined carbs can lead to health problems over time.
Studies show that eating refined carbs leads to spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. When your blood sugar increases quickly, your body must release higher amounts of insulin to bring it down.
This causes a dip in blood sugar levels. Eating a diet rich in refined carbs may also increase the amount of body fat.
These swings in blood sugar have been linked to an increased risk of food cravings and overeating.10 People who regularly eat a large amount of refined carbs tend to crave and eat more food because of these blood sugar changes.
Research shows that eating a large amount of refined carbs over time increases your risk of insulin resistance (the body does not respond to insulin as it should) and chronically high blood sugar levels.
Refined carbs also increase inflammation in the body. Increases in inflammation have been linked with several chronic conditions.
Diets rich in refined carbs have been linked to the following chronic diseases.

  • Heart disease
  • Obesity
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Cancer
