In nature, high sugar foods are never accompanied with fat. 🍯🥓

Our metabolism is adapted to this. If you consume high fat and sugar together (called swamping), the sugar will be converted to saturated fat on the body so that digestion can favor the inputs that are harder to digest: fat. 🐖

This is called the Randle Cycle, and it's why #FruitTillNoon, which pushes off fat (and even protein) sources to later in the day, melt the fat off the body by enhancing metabolism via optimizing the glucose pathway. 🍊

For a while I was doing fat and protein first and putting off carbs until dinner. Better to do that in reverse then?

Yes. Carbs should follow the sun. Earlier is better. You don't want loads of glucose in the blood at sundown.

The hardest part for me is having coffee + water + maple syrup instead of with milk.

Would you advise against butter and coconut oil blended in my morning coffee?

If your goal is to melt fat off the body by exploiting the Randle Cycle I would either push both to your fat window or experiment with only coconut oil, which is suspected to be hyper metablized via a different mechanism than typical fat due to it's high MCT content.
