GROW UP ... Eat your breakfast!


Yes - yes, you've heard it before...

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!!

You hear it all the time, but do you listen?
During your hours of sleep your body has been fasting and your metabolism has also been at rest. Skipping a breakfast keeps your body in starvation mode. Your metabolism stays low saving it's fuel burning power...not knowing when it may be fed fuel again.



Trying to Loose Weight?

Skipping breakfast is the worst thing to do for those of you who are trying to lose weight...you're only keeping your metabolism at a very low rate. Eating breakfast increases your fat burning ability!



Your Body Has Three Gas Tanks!

In tank #1, you burn carbs
In tank #2, you burn fat
In tank #3, you burn protein

Lower your carb intake at breakfast! Many people eat mainly carbs for breakfast...by doing this they burn mostly carbs. This is not good since carbs are burned quickly, forcing your body to produce large amounts of insulin in order to convert those carbs to sugar for energy.

The best fuel to burn is fat, tank #2. Many people never burn this high energy fuel because they eat too many carbs at breakfast. The body will always choose carbs to burn first. The best way to get to the fat burning energy is of course, to lower your carbs at breakfast. This is great for weight loss and works wonders for you metabolism.





Don't Eat Dessert for Breakfast!

Say NO to:

-cereal
-muffins
-toast
-sweet breads or doughnuts
-bagels
-sweetened yogurts
-jams and spreads

These are so high in carbs ... it's the same as having cookies or cake.



Why NOT to Skip Breakfast:

It's not complicated...skipping breakfast is screaming at your body to "STORE FAT"!
You should eat within about 30 minutes of waking. After which your body will get it's fuel by using tank #3 and burn precious protein. You want to keep the protein in your body. You need your protein for strong muscles, hair, cells, tissues and much more.
