Breakfast time!!

I will be giving you my own "special" breakfast, which gives me sufficient energy to make it through the day and survive the gym :) . Now as you’ve heard, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s said and proven to be the peak of your energy level and helps your performance throughout the day. It helps with concentration and leaves you not craving as much as the day progresses. Eating a balanced breakfast is essential to your health. It’s like a car without gas. The car won’t start unless you put some gas in it. Your body functions the same. No food no energy. So start off your day with a full breakfast such as the one I’m going to give you. It has its protein (which is the key to your breakfast.) Protein leaves you fuller longer. Carbs (also very important), fiber and enough sugar. Everything is important so don’t leave out the good stuff. It’s crucial for the body to refuel right when you wake up, because you will have gone at least 8-10 hours without eating. The body uses stored fat as energy when it’s not getting this energy source. So that’s a no no! You need food in the morning! The typical American breakfast consists of foods loaded with fat and artificial preservatives (chemicals). For example: bagel, donut, cereal, cookies, egg, bacon, French toast, ECT. The list is infinite. Everything mentioned on this list is TRASH!! You won’t get any nutritional value from any of these foods. They might fill you up, but not for long, leaving you hungry sooner and with nasty fat in your system. Not to mention that everything we buy packaged is preserved and horrible for your health and will mess up your metabolism. “If it didn’t have a mother or didn’t grow from the ground, don’t eat it!!” I’m probably a health freak but I know that my body will thank me in the future. Now as for what I promised here it is... But remember, BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY! So don’t skip it!



*I start off my morning with..

1) A cup of iced water ( helps speed up metabolism)
2) ½ piece of wheat toast with ½ cup of egg whites
3) 0% fat Fage Greek yogurt ( it has fewer calories, less fat and an excellent choice for yogurts)
4) Flax seeds(very high in omega-3 essential fatty acids and stabilizes blood sugar)
5) Frozen or fresh berries (such as raspberries, and blueberries)
     • In my yogurt I add the berries, flaxseed, and 1 teaspoon of natural peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of almond butter.
6) Expresso coffee with light creamer ( coffee has no calories) or almond milk ( less calories than regular milk)


This is a variation to what you can eat in the morning. But you need these essentials to function properly in the day.
