Not a breakfast eater? Neither am I! But if you are someone who thinks skipping breakfast will help you lose weight, think again! Studies show that breakfast is associated with better weight control. Also, it’s important to note that breakfast eaters tend to eat fewer calories overall, less saturated fat and cholesterol and have better overall nutrition than breakfast skippers. Here are the facts, when you skip breakfast, your metabolic rate slows down and your blood sugar drops. As a result, you become hungry and have less energy. This sets you up to impulsively snack in the morning -often on high-fat convenience foods - or to eat extra servings or bigger portions at lunch or dinner. Here’s a healthy option for you that I have been using for years, a satisfying healthy shake. My favorite breakfast on the go, 1 scoop whey protein powder, soy/rice/almond or low fat milk, your choice, 1 cup a fresh or frozen mixed berries, and ice, blend and enjoy!. YUM! You can add ground flax seeds, a nut butter, the choices are endless. Give it a try!
To your success,
