Is your morning meal sabotaging your weight loss dreams? You might think you’re choosing a healthy breakfast, but as Dave Asprey, the bestselling author of Heavily Meditated and renowned biohacker, points out, those so-called nutritious options could be doing more harm than good. He breaks down a typical breakfast choice—oatmeal with raspberries and a splash of oat milk. “Sounds wholesome, right? Think again. Oatmeal is rich in phytic acid, an antinutrient that binds to minerals and hinders their absorption.” Oats also contain lectins, notorious for irritating the gut and paving the way for digestive issues. And while raspberries are often touted as superfoods, they’re high in oxalates, which can form painful crystals in the body. Oh, and that coffee of yours? Many blends harbor mycotoxins, known carcinogens. As for oat milk, it’s not just oats in a different outfit; it’s loaded with sugars and dubious additives. Instead of reaching for that cereal box, try these eight power-packed foods that not only support healthy metabolism but also help you build lean muscle—essential for steering clear of unwanted fat.

Grass-Fed Steak
Believe it or not, steak can grace your breakfast table. “Yes, you heard that right,” confirms Asprey. “Grass-fed steak is rich in bioavailable vitamins and protein to keep you satisfied long into the day. Opt for grass-finished when you can—it’s the crème de la crème of nutrition.”
Pasture-Raised Eggs
Next up on Asprey’s hit list are pasture-raised eggs. “Eat the whole egg for maximum nutrition. The yolks are bursting with choline, which is fabulous for your brain and liver function—two key players in fat loss.”
Smoked Wild Salmon
How about a some smoked wild salmon? It’s high in omega-3s, which can enhance insulin sensitivity and rev up your metabolism. Just make sure you’re getting it without sugary or artificial additives.”
Raw Sheep’s Milk Yogurt
Raw sheep’s milk yogurt deserves a place on your breakfast table. Asprey argues, “It’s rich in CLA, a fat that assists in burning fat. If you can’t find it raw, go for the best option available—organic, no added sugars, etc.”
Blueberries
Don’t forget to toss in some blueberries! “Packed with polyphenols, they actively block fat cell formation,” Asprey notes.
Avocado
Don’t skimp on avocados! “They’re chock-full of soluble fiber, the kind that nourishes your healthy gut bacteria. A thriving microbiome is linked to lower body fat,” Asprey emphasizes.
Mold-Free Coffee, Butter, and C8 MCT Oil
Instead of regular coffee, go for mold-free coffee blended with butter and C8 MCT oil. “The caffeine not only boosts metabolism but also the polyphenols in coffee can thwart fat accumulation. I personally swear by my brand, Danger Coffee.” Add healthy fats like butter for prolonged satiety, helping you to fend off overeating. And don’t forget the C8 MCT oil; it transforms straight into ketones—nature’s little powerhouses that combat inflammation and curb hunger.
Clean Grass-Fed Whey Protein
Finally, for those who love protein powder, ensure it’s clean grass-fed whey. “It’s a quick fix for protein on the go. Not only does it aid in muscle repair, but it also elevates glutathione levels, your body’s premier antioxidant. Just make sure it’s toxin-tested and free of artificial preservatives.”
