Good to be back in the club - my energy is slowly coming back - haven't been this ill in years.
Have you ever asked yourself am I eating the right breakfast foods? If you haven't, you should and certainly take in consideration these following tips.
We been all been told since grade school that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Do you really know why? Breakfast is a critical meal. After a catabolic overnight fast, a balanced breakfast helps to regulate blood sugar, helps to regulate energy balance, and helps to control late-day cravings that lead to overeating. Be sure to include a serving or two of lean protein like an egg white ometlet (throw in a yolk is okay), some low fat cheese, some dairy like plain yogurt or cottage cheese, or even a protien shake on the side and don't forget a complex carboyhdrate like whole grain toast or oatmeal. According to one of my favorite docs (Dr. Oz), he says, if you trying to CONTROL YOUR APPETITE AND LOSE WEIGHT, add eggs, yogurt, and whole grain foods to your breakfast every day, these 3 items in particular have been credited with extra FAT-BURNING AND POUND DROPPING powers in recent studies.
What and how these foods help
Eggs: When people on low-calorie diets ate two scrambled eggs with toast and jam for breakfast, they lost 65% percent more weight than the dieters who started their day with a bagel and cream cheese. The protein in eggs probably helps control appetite, so people eat less.
Yogurt: Calcium and other helpful compounds in yogurt may help stop fat storage and turn up the fat burn. In one study, obese people on reduced-calorie diets lost 61% percent more fat overall -- and even more belly fat -- when they ate three 6 - ounce servings of yogurt every day. This was compared with the people who had no yogurt in their diets.
Whole-Grains: Research shows that people lose more belly fat when they replace refined-grain foods with whole grains. All the appetite-controlling fiber they pick up in teh process probably accounts for the slimming effect. Plus, whole grains can help control blood sugar and lower blood pressure, they can even reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
In order to get to your fitness destinatin, you must try it for 21 days to create a new habit and the rest is easy.
have a great day everyone,
