Losing weight is a result of making different, small decisions every day. If you are looking for overnight weight loss success, there are pills and miracle juice fasts out there that will get you INCREDIBLE results. Unfortunately, I can guarantee you are going to gain the weight back, and possibly more because your metabolism is now in the toilet. Let us start by changing what you eat for breakfast!
CONVENIENCE is key. Rarely are we willing to cook a five-star breakfast, which is why pop tarts, cereal, and toast win the battle most of the time. Eating refined carbohydrates in the morning creates a quick spike in blood glucose. The pancreas then secretes insulin to lower blood sugar. Leftover insulin causes the body to store fat and makes you hungry soon afterward. This leads to low levels of energy, focus and attention.
A well-balanced anti-inflammatory diet will leave you energized, focused, happy, and decrease your risk of chronic disease.
Stick to a 40, 30, 30 meal plan where 40% of caloric intake comes from low glycemic carbohydrates, 30% from complete protein, and 30% from good fats.
A typical breakfast at my house includes:
- Free range eggs fried in coconut oil
- Avocados
- Steel cut oats or organic oatmeal
- Peanut butter or almond butter
- Egg bakes
- Omelets
- Ezekial toast with butter
- Breakfast Burritos
- Berry Protein Smoothies
Portion size is key. Learn what macronutrients are in you food. Most of the recipes I have will have the breakdown already done for you!
where can i get the recipe for your breakfast ideas?
