I have to come clean and be honest here, I used be the worlds worst for skipping breakfast. Always rushing around in the mornings and before I realised it, it had gone lunch time, and the weight kept piling on and on and on.. Now I make myself a shake using a meal replacement and protein, some fruit and almond milk and whizz it up… Nutrition on the go… My favourites are favourites are Forver’s Ultra Lite Chocolate or Herbalife Cookies & Cream
When you get up in the morning, you’ve gone a pretty long stretch without eating. And even though you’ve been sleeping, your body has been tapping into stored fuel to keep your systems going. So if you don’t top up your tank in the morning, you’ll lack the mental and physical energy you need to get through your workout and your workday. Not only that, the breakfast habit is associated with better weight management and a better diet overall. The vast majority of those who have successfully lost weight, and kept it off, eat breakfast nearly every day.
If you regularly skip breakfast, try these small steps to establish a healthy breakfast habit.
Start small and light
Ease into the habit with small portions of easy-to-digest foods that are nutrient-packed. Try a protein shake with fruit, or a dab of nonfat cottage cheese or a hard-boiled egg with a piece of fruit on the side.
Break your meal into small snacks
You don’t need to eat your entire meal at once. Sip on your shake throughout the morning, or have your cottage cheese or egg first, and your fruit an hour or so later.
Get up 15 minutes earlier
An extra 15 minutes in the morning can make all the difference to those who are rushed to get out the door. You’ll not only have time to make something quick, you’ll also give your system a chance to wake up.
Eat what appeals to you
There’s no rule that says you have to eat ‘breakfast food’ in the morning. A few bites of leftover chicken and veggie stir-fry might just do the trick.
Don’t rely on just ‘coffee and a muffin’
