Have you eaten your breakfast today?


If not then you must surely include it into your daily diet plan? Skipping breakfast is a common strategy for people who are trying to lose weight, but it's usually not a successful one. Our body expects to be refuelled a few times each day, so when we skip meals we cause the body to kick into 'starvation' mode and finally gear down.

On the other hand starting the day with a good breakfast not only boosts energy, increases attention span but also heightens sense of well-being. A good breakfast is one that provides at least one third of the day’s calories that keeps one from being tired and irritable by mid-morning. Breakfast should include protein and plenty of fiber; the combination will help satisfy hunger and will keep one feeling full until lunch time. The protein can come from low-fat meat, eggs, nuts or dairy products. High-fiber foods include fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A healthy breakfast doesn't need to be extravagant or take a long time to prepare. Something simple like a hard boiled egg, whole grain toast and 100% fruit juice can also do wonders. 

Surely, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Take time to eat a large, balanced breakfast. It’s a good investment of one’s time :-)
