100 Days, 100 Ways Day 2: The Importance of Eating Breakfast

Tony the Tiger® has been telling us, for many years, that eating a well balanced and nourishing breakfast is GRREEEAAATTTT! I agree 100%

However, who has time to prepare and eat a full balanced meal? Heck, I was happy if I could down my second cup of coffee before I had to hit the road. I know I was not alone in this. My business partner has this unwritten rule of NO BREAKFAST (not even a cup of coffee) YIKES!!!

Seriously, I have recently taken up with eating breakfast on a regular basis. If you plan your meal just right there is nothing that will cause you to gain weight or make you feel sluggish. If anything finding YOUR right menu will not only energize you but it will start you down the RIGHT path to weight loss as you will be eating three squares a day and NOT stuffing your face at the Chinese buffet come lunch time to make up for skipped morning meal.

Eat Breakfast Every Morning!
As I wrote, Breakfast will also recharge your energy reserves that were deplete over the 8 hours or so of sleeping. Restore the spent vitamins and minerals that your body used and still needs throughout the day. It will also help you feel not as hungry when you walk past the buffet line.

Seriously, get up just a few minutes early, make yourself a simple breakfast. I'm not talking a full English breakfast consisting of bacon, poached or fried eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, toast with butter, sausages and baked beans, usually served with a mug of tea. Save the full English breakfast for the weekend or the next time you find yourself at the Spindle Lodge in Leicester, U.K. (tell them Dave sent you!)

If you are stuck as to what to make/eat I recommend plenty of protein and plenty of liquids (water, coffee, tea). Give that a try. (Did you notice I made NO mention of starches (no toast, no hash browns)? You'll get those later in the day. Besides why would you want to mess with the work your body has done all night long?

I do invite you to join the conversation and tell me what you think about any of the postings so far.

Cheerio!
