Breakfast

Your mom always said breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Would you believe that she was actually right?

There are plenty of studies, and stories from personal experience that prove the truth of that statement. When you eat breakfast you kick start your metabolism for the day. When you skip breakfast, or any other meal, your body goes into 'starvation' mode and stores calories rather than starting the process of burning them. Along the same lines, by the time you reach lunch you're starving and can't stop eating when you're full because you inhale your food rather than eating slowly to experience your food and a full feeling when your stomach is comfortably full.

Your breakfast will last you best if you have balanced proportions of protein, carbohydrates, and plenty of fiber in your breakfast.

Today's 'moral of the story' is take the time to eat your breakfast! and not just a pastry, make it balanced!

Happy breakfasting,

Katie
