Let's Talk Breakfast!
Learn why this is your most important meal of the day.
First off…do you eat breakfast every morning? The truth…it IS the most important meal of your day! And, most of us are not even thinking about eating breakfast, we are simply fueled by sugar and caffeine from our coffee each morning.
Let’s take a different approach, shall we!
BREAK -fast, you are breaking your fasting from the night before. This is the longest time frame we usually go without food. The issue is, most people are either NOT breaking their fast or they are loading their bodies with the wrong food choices to make sure their body is actually being fueled. Typically feeling
Low Energy & Fatigue
Poor Sleep
Low Mood
Brain Fog
Hormone Problems
More Intense symptoms with PMS, Perimenopause, &/or Menopause
Impaired Immune Resilience
Sluggish Metabolism
Muscle Loss, more physical injuries and/or aches and pains
What does it look like to break the fast? What are some of the better choices for you to make when you are getting up in the morning?
Start off your morning with warm lemon water! This is a simple way to wake up the digestive system and kick in the digestive supports necessary to eat your food..and let’s be honest…to be able to get to our first cup of coffee!
When thinking about your breakfast, there are three components to always have on your plate: HEALTHY PROTEIN, FAT, and FIBER!
This is going to set you up with the most optimal blood sugar regulation and the best long lasting fuel to get you through your morning. Healthy fiber to help your gut stay strong and aid in elimination! There are so many reasons to start your day off with a energy boosting breakfast!
Benefits to a Healthy Breakfast!
Level blood sugar with long lasting fuel from fat and protein!
Your body will have assistance in absorbing sugars from carbs when consumed with protein and fat! This is a solid way to make sure your glucose is going to stay level and not give you “hangeries” throughout your day.
Nourish your Mood!
Without protein your body can not produce enough dopamine and serotonin! Incorporating these foods into your day will create a better mood in your day!
Level those hormones!
Protein is the building blocks for your hormones, it plays a key role in regulating your cycle and helping your endocrine system function properly.
Feel Satiated!
When you get in healthy amounts of protein and fats your body feels full and you are able to move through your day, and not get distracted by those donuts and sugar cravings that take place when we don’t get those healthy fats and proteins.
Enhance your Metabolism!
Fuel your muscles and brain with healthy fat and protein and actually speed up that metabolism! Eat the protein and fat, and lose the weight! Now, that works for me!
What are some ideas for you to get started?
Protein Bowl!
Pick a meat or egg, some veggies like cabbage, carrots, and sweet potatoes which are going to give you incredible fiber! So, add some yummy fat with ghee, grass fed butter, or coconut oil to saute it all together.
Protein Smoothie!
Pick some fresh seasonal fruits and some kale or spinach along with some organic milk of choice along with a Beef Isolate protein powder, my current favorite is Pure Paleo by Designs for Health. Add some flaxseeds and chia seeds to the mix for your fiber and some MCT oil for some healthy fat!
Greek Yogurt with Pumpkin Seeds + Blueberries!
Simple and loaded with protein and healthy fat from the yogurt and great fiber from the pumpkin seeds and blueberries…throw in some extra antioxidants and omegas too and you are golden to start your day with this breakfast!
These breakfasts are going to set you up to be your best self all day!
All of these amazing benefits from one simple meal to start your day! In reality, sounds like a great plan and one that really does not take that much effort, some prep work and some grocery shopping. Start out with one or two recipes and rotate them so that you do not have to worry about what is your meal for the day.
