Nigerian Breakfast: What To Eat For Blood Sugar & Fullness

Описание: If you grew up eating rice, ogi, yam, plantain, or akara for breakfast — this video is for you.

Many Nigerian breakfasts are traditional, familiar, and comforting. But there’s one common mistake most people don’t realize they’re making — and it explains why some breakfasts keep you full, while others leave you hungry again far too soon.

In this video, I explain:
• Why some Nigerian breakfasts sustain you and others don’t
• How blood sugar, protein, and fiber quietly shape hunger
• Why this is not a willpower problem
• How to think about breakfast without giving up Nigerian foods

If you’ve watched my videos on bloating, gut health, or why you’re still hungry after eating, this talk connects the dots.

Because hunger, bloating, and gut symptoms are often driven by the same underlying physiology — not because something is “wrong” with you,” but because certain food combinations and timing matter more than we’ve been taught.

This is not about shaming culture or labeling foods as “bad.”
It’s about understanding the physiology behind hunger and digestion — and learning how to work with your body, not against it.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a clearer, calmer way to think about breakfast — one that respects Nigerian food traditions and actually works in real life.

▶️ Watch until the end for the key insight most people miss.
