Breakfast as Your Guide to Eating Well
Breakfast of Champions:
How do you feel about breakfast? It's a love/hate relationship right? Here is your guide to breakfast and eating well!
- So many times during my nutrition counseling sessions, my clients tell me they skip breakfast. Honestly about 80% say either I just drink coffee or I wait till lunch to eat. We've all heard that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." And it's totally true! Here's why and here is what you can eat instead of reaching for the box of cereal!
- Skipping meals also leads to weight gain. The body goes into starvation mode when you skip meals, it could be healthy or not. Because it's not being fueled when it normally should. The body will store the food for energy as fat because it’s not sure when it will be refueled again. So again you can eat an apple or a candy bar and the body holds on it just in case it won’t receive more food for a while.
