Eggs & Cantaloupe
The most popular (and an awfully complete form of)
breakfast protein works even better for you when you eat it with the good
carbohydrates in your morning cantaloupe.
According to Kennedy, a very basic food synergy is
the concept of eating protein with foods that contain beneficial carbohydrates,
which we need for energy. Protein, Kennedy reminds us, slows the absorption of
glucose, or sugar, from carbohydrates.
"This synergy helps by minimizing insulin and
blood-sugar spikes, which are followed by a crash, zapping energy. High insulin
levels are connected with inflammation, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases.
By slowing the absorption of glucose, your body can better read the cues that
you are full. This helps prevent everything from overeating to
indigestion."
So cut as many bad carbs (i.e., anything white,
starchy, and sugary) as you want. But when you eat healthful carbs (whole
grains, fruit, vegetables), don't eat them on their own.
