What fuel do you expect your body to work on if you don't give it breakfast? There are plenty of excuses; here are a few:
I don't have time to eat breakfast. Perhaps it's true that you don't have time to prepare a breakfast and then sit down at the table to eat it but you can take breakfast on the road. And, it doesn't have to be “breakfast foods.” You need a fruit/vegetable, fiber and protein. Here are a few ideas:
• Fruit, yogurt and granola.
• Blended drinks in a thermos.
• Low calorie instant breakfast drink.
• Peanut butter and banana on wheat toast, milk.
• Breakfast cereal in a small glass and milk in a non-spill container.
If I eat breakfast I get hungry before lunch. Then eat a mid-morning snack. Getting hungry before lunch means your metabolism is working. Metabolism is basically the process of your body turning food into energy. You need energy for even the basics; breathing, circulating blood, repairing cells, etc. You want to get your metabolism started each morning. This is a good thing!
I don't like breakfast foods. You don't have to like traditional breakfast foods. There are no rules as long as you consume a fruit/vegetable, a source of fiber, and a source of protein. Be creative! Be original! But be sure you get breakfast every day.
