Considering over 50% of people skip breakfast, it is the most important meal of the day. If you are getting the recommended amount of sleep, your body has just been in rest for the past eight hours, that’s why it is critical to eat when you get up. Whether you are waking up early for work, school or anything else, always make time to eat breakfast. Even if you have to grab a fresh fruit on the go, that’s still better than nothing. In fact, breakfast should always be the biggest meal of the day. Why? Because you will have more energy and you are more likely to eat better throughout the rest of the day. In addition, studies have shown that eating breakfast improves your concentration, problem-solving skills, creativity and your immune system. Without breakfast, many people can get irritable, weak, and tired.
Recommendations for a tasty and healthy breakfast:
- Coup of oatmeal
- Egg whites with peppers
- Turkey slices
- Fruit
- Low fat yogurt with lots of protein
- Kashi Golean Crunch (use low fat milk or soy milk)
Stay away from sugary cereals, pancake/waffles with syrup, pastries, and especially donuts!
In the end, breakfast is very important to weight loss and this meal should never be skipped.
Question to consider: Do you eat breakfast every day? If so, what do you eat? If you don't eat breakfast everyday, why not?
Carly,
ReplyDeleteactually, I noticed that a lot of people in this country don't eat breakfast. I wonder if this is a cultural thing or a social influence.
