20 Foods to Eat And Avoid on an Empty Stomach

What to eat on an empty stomach? What should you avoid eating on an empty stomach? Only a few people are aware that some foods are not very good for us if eaten on an empty stomach.

Yogurt, a cup of coffee, and fresh orange juice — this is what most people probably picture when they think of a perfect breakfast. However, we at Bright Side have created a simple infographic that will guide you through what we should eat and what we should avoid in the morning.

TIMESTAMPS
Shortcrust and puff pastries 0:33
Any sweets 0:58
Yogurt and other fermented milk products 1:29
Pears 1:56
Tomatoes 2:24
Cucumbers and other green vegetables 3:00
Bananas 3:34
Spicy foods 4:08
Cold carbonated drinks 4:43
Citrus fruits 5:11

SUMMARY
- No more orange juice in the morning! Citrus fruits are rich in fruit acids. When eaten on an empty stomach, they can cause heartburn and increase the risks of gastritis and even gastric ulcers.
- Also, shortcrust and puff pastries aren’t the best solution for your morning meal. This food contains yeast, so it irritates the lining of your stomach and may cause flatulence.
- What else to avoid? It may sound strange to you, but eating yogurt and other fermented milk products for breakfast has little benefit for your body. If you eat them on an empty stomach, then hydrochloric acid, formed in the stomach, kills the lactic acid bacteria.
- Finally, if you eat bananas when your stomach is empty, this will lead to a sharp increase in the amount of magnesium in the blood which may harm your heart.

Avoid Brightside before or after eating on empty stomach

I eat oatmeal with banana every single morning and I've never ever noticed any bad side effects...

'Don't eat vegetables in the morning on an empty stomach because they contain amino acid' Buckwheat is better because it has protein' ..

But protein is made up of amino
I'm so lost😢.. ... or is it because of the time it takes to digest them?

In your Boiled egg 2 week diet video, for everyday you have suggested two boil eggs and one citrus fruit in the morning, here you are saying avoid citrus fruits in the morning @5:13, are you guys clear on everything or this is just something random?

I was on Vegetable Diet for 4 weeks. Before I did that I had a really big problems with my stomach. I did try to eat eggs - pain, oatmeal with milk - pain and bloated stomach feeling, weird. Then I started Vegetable diet what spouse to clean my stomach and body. I did eat tomatoes, cucumber and even grapefruits fir breakfast. and I never felt better. I started to eat really clean, no sugar, no over use of salt, no processed food. And even now when I will eat something like fast food I feel good. What I am trying to say is that everyone is different and need to treat his body like one of the kind. Make sure that you all food is nutritional for your body :) That is all.
