Pictured: Babs digs into some Paleo Cereal.They say it's the most important meal of the day. And who's gonna argue with that!? You're coming off of an 8-10 hour fast and your body needs some Go-Food.
Starting your day with a good meal helps get you off on the right foot. Some will begin their morning with some sugary coffee, a donut or two, or a breakfast bar. No wonder people are always raiding the office fridge at 10; they've allowed themselves to turn into an "Always Hungry Carb Craving Zombie!"
People may feel good for the first few hours, but that insulin is bound to drop sometime. And when it does, they'll be headin' back to the sugar-dealer for another hit.
Here are a few good tips for starting your day off right:
- have some eggs- veggies, veggies, veggies!- make sure there's a dead animal on your plate- almonds, pecans, or walnuts help fill you up- tea or coffee (hold the sugar & creamer)- take your fish oil
Stick with the meats, veggies, and nuts and you'll be good 'til lunch!
Breakfast is by far my favorite meal. Unfortunately, I'm a very slow cook and spend about 45 minutes preparing for a 10 minute meal... It's a miracle if the yolks don't break.
ReplyDeleteMy breakfast this morning:
-cuts of lamb leg
-3 eggs
-vegetables (butternut squash, celery, 1 zucchini)
-almonds
-fish oil
-irish breakfast tea
My breakfast today was my typical smoothie with the following ingredients:
ReplyDeletegrapes
oranges
apple
strawberries
blueberries
spinach
pecans
protein powder
I make enough for Charlie and I most days. It is pretty filling. I use a lot of spinach and the smoothie looks disgusting but tastes really good.
Whats in the cereal? and what kind of milk is that? Thanks
