Tip # 7: Eat breakfast every day.
No one has been able to dispute that breakfast is certainly the most important meal of the day. National Cereal Day is today and is a great reminder that if you don't eat breakfast, you need to start!
For some of you reading this, you may already eat breakfast everyday. Consider this a free-day! However, for others, I can already hear the excuses being rolled out...
"I don't have time,"
"I feel sick to my stomach in the morning," or
"I don't like breakfast food at breakfast" seem to be the most common excuses I hear. And we can fix this!
If you're not a breakfast eater because you feel like eating would upset your stomach, start by drinking a glass of milk or orange juice. You can even start by having a few crackers or half of a granola bar. It may not seem like the ingredients for a healthy breakfast, but it is a start. (Remember, we focus on improvement not perfection.) Try this for a couple weeks and you will start to adjust. Your body needs the energy. Otherwise it stresses out your body, relying on your liver for the glucose it needs. Help yourself out!
Cereal is a great breakfast food. However, eating sweet things in the morning doesn't tide me over until lunch. I don't have a lot of extra time to make eggs, bacon, and toast either. My go-to food in the morning is anything left over from dinner the night before. Often times it's a bowl of chili, warmed up pasta dishes, or a grilled chicken breast on whole wheat toast.
Eat breakfast every day!
