Become a Breakfast Eater

Having a healthy breakfast is a great step to improving your diet. Most individuals either don't eat breakfast or eat a breakfast high in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates get into your system quickly and increase your blood sugar. That triggers your insulin which leads to a decrease in energy and follows with another bout of hunger. A healthy breakfast helps keep your metabolism going and controls hunger throughout the day. Some tips for making a healthy breakfast: 1) Oatmeal: it is easy to make, takes care of your carbohydrate fix, and you can make it to your liking by adding other ingredients (wheat germ, fresh berries, cinnamon), 2) Eggs: They are the perfect protein and only 80 calories, 3) Create portable breakfasts such as packing cereals, fast oats, yogurt, and fresh fruit to take to work, 4) Have something you don't normally have for breakfast, like tuna. It may sound unusual but try it and see if you can expand your repertoire of breakfast options, and 5) Skip the pastries and replace with PB and fruit preserve on toast. It is loaded with protein, good fats, and a little sweetness. Try any or all of the suggestions and start your day and diet off right.
