Jeff 2011-08-05T03:12:25Z 2011-08-05T03:12:25Z <p>hacking sages. that's funny.</p> <p>That does sound like a pretty good breakfast but a little variety wouldn't hurt. A very important first step is evening out the omega 3:6 ratio, but once you've dialed that in a bit the next step is generally to reduce your omega 6s. All PUFAs (6 and 3) are more prone to oxidative damage, which seems to be a root cause of a lot of bad things. So for many people balancing the ratio takes priority but for the more advanced version it's better to reduce omega 6s.</p> <p>I'm not saying to never have nuts (though some here may), but nuts do have some gut irritants aside from the omega 6s. </p> <p>How bout some eggs with veggies cooked in coconut oil, ghee, or butter?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/56110/hack-my-breakfast/56133#56133 Answer by Eric for hack my breakfast! Eric 2011-08-05T06:15:57Z 2011-08-05T06:15:57Z <p>I have had this as my breakfast from time to time. You might experiment with eggs w/butter every other breakfast.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/56110/hack-my-breakfast/56148#56148 Answer by Jan for hack my breakfast!

You should definitely switch things up -- watch out for the mercury levels in your fish, too. We don't eat tuna fish more than once a week for that reason.</p>
