When you were told as a child that breakfast is the most important meal of the day it couldn't be more CORRECT! If you are striving for the body you want then you have to start each day right, not only will the right breakfast give you energy for the day but will help you build muscle and burn fat. At night you are in a way fasting (starving the body) for many hours so the right nutrition in the morning is so important!!! You need three main things in a good healthy breakfast.
- Fast digesting sugary simple healthy carbs eg: high GI fruit like raisins or honey to spike your blood sugar levels and instantly blunt your bodies starvation, Slow release complex carbs eg:oats or brown bread to release energy slowly throughout the day.
- Protein-the building blocks of life!!! our body needs this to grow. Try to aim for lean sources eg: egg whites or a protein powder.
- Healthy fats to help fat burning and muscle building, THAT'S RIGHT FAT TO BURN FAT!!!! get this from nuts, seeds or 1 or 2 egg yolks a day don't be scared you body needs this.
So make sure you get carbs, protein and healthy fats every breakfast if you want results. The right breakfast will bump up your metabolism and shred that fat away!!!
Start as you mean to go on!
